In an Effort to Regain Efficiencies, Blue Star Returns to Zotec Partners

Zotec Partners , an industry leader in medical billing, practice management and Radiology Information Systems ( RIS ) software and services, announces that Blue Star Imaging, out of Irving, Texas, has inked a three-year billing services contract with the company. Blue Star Imaging previously outsourced billing to Zotec Partners , but made the decision to bring billing in-house. After realizing that costs increased and efficiency decreased while performing billing on its own, the group is now resuming a partnership with Zotec.

"Two years ago, we decided to take billing in-house in an effort to save money and be in greater control of the day-to-day billing processes, but realized that costs actually increased and billing processes suffered," said Rae McGarrity, operations and physician relations for Blue Star Imaging. "Performing billing on our own created operational challenges. Losing the robust reporting capabilities of Zotec's Decision Support software increased the difficulty to identify and manage the practice's critical billing metrics. We're eager to let Zotec take billing back over."

The official imaging provider for the Dallas Cowboys professional football team, Blue Star Imaging provides its physicians and patients with increased diagnostic confidence through the use of state-of-the-art imaging equipment and advanced information technology. The group has a team of experienced on-site staff, including highly educated patient care coordinators, high-skilled technologists with advanced certifications trained on the latest clinical applications and board certified sub-specialty radiologists.

"There is a fine line between managing billing processes effectively and controlling and reducing billing costs," said Scott Heil, chief information officer for Zotec Partners . "Costs inevitably rise as staff salaries and benefits increase, and as management and technology overhead creeps up. For many practices that balance is found best by outsourcing to a billing partner with robust billing and reporting technology. Employing professional billing management resources from Zotec is a win/win business arrangement for Blue Star Imaging."

Zotec Partners is a solutions-based firm serving the hospital-based specialty market. Zotec offers a comprehensive suite of medical billing and practice management tools and services designed to make operations more efficient and productive in medical offices. Its flagship product, the Electronic Billing Center practice management and medical billing software suite serves 5,500 physicians in 45 states.
