Medical assistance company now operating in Tuscaloosa

March 30-- Mar. 30--There's a new service provider in Tuscaloosa to assist with the non-clinical aspects of healthcare.

Simplified Medical Management LLC formed earlier this year to assist healthcare providers throughout the Southeast in the areas of practice management, information technology, credentialing, compliance and revenue cycle management.

It sprung from The Radiology Clinic, which during its 70 years in operation had grown in these areas of medical needs until Simplified Medical Management was born, and Thursday marked its official ribbon-cutting with the Chamber of Commerce of West Alabama.

"Over the past several years, we have noticed the non-clinical burdens of running a practice are becoming tougher and taking more time away from the patients," said Dr. David Smith, president of The Radiology Clinic, in a press release. "After talking with our peers in the community, we realized we weren't the only ones overwhelmed."

Smith said efforts were made to locate "the best business minds we could" in order to form Simplified Medical Management, which began operations in January.

"Off-loading the non-clinical aspects of our practice has allowed me to spend more of my time focusing on the patient," Smith said. "I see our relationship with Simplified Medical Management as an investment in the future of my practice and feel confident knowing they are running and growing my practice while also giving me more of my time back."

The leadership team that was formed for Simplified Medical Management comes with hundreds of years of combined experience in the areas of leadership, practice management, information technology, compliance, credentialing, and revenue cycle management, and can implement programs catered to meet the needs of individual medical practices.

"Our passion is to ensure the best possible medical care for the communities we serve," said James Leitner, chief executive officer of Simplified Medical Management. "To that end, we have developed a real-world, proven system for achieving simplification, team health and less worry for healthcare leaders.

"We know it is not enough to drop in one time, give some advice and check back a year later. We pride ourselves in rolling up our sleeves and standing alongside our clients to ensure their goals, whatever they might be, are realized."
