01/13/2023HAMDEN, CT, January 13, 2023 – SimiTree, a company that provides tech-enabled specialty revenue cycle management (RCM), coding, professional services, and talent management resources for post-acute and behavioral health organizations, strengthened its position within the U.S. behavioral health market with the acquisition of two companies: Afia and GreenpointMed.
The strategic expansion augments the full spectrum of support services SimiTree and its behavioral health flagship, Infinity Behavioral Health Services, offer behavioral health providers of all sizes.
“This move allows SimiTree to address the behavioral health industry’s growing need for our services as we head into 2023,” states SimiTree CEO and Managing Principal Bill Simione. “We remain committed to assisting behavioral health providers in developing best-in class processes and a stronger revenue cycle.”
Afia is a Michigan-based provider of behavioral health data analytics and consulting services. Afia uses data-driven decision making to solve business challenges by simplifying EHR implementations, driving clinical best practices, optimizing revenue cycles, and creating IT infrastructures that move behavioral businesses forward. The acquisition expands SimiTree’s ability to provide clients with greater insight from actionable data via tech-enabled optimization of clinical, financial, and operational functions.
“SimiTree recognizes how important actionable data is to the success of all our post-acute and behavioral health clients,” Mike Freytag, SimiTree managing principal and EVP, said. “The acquisition of Afia brings SimiTree’s post-acute and behavioral health clients a level of technology that we believe will allow them to become leaner, smarter, and most importantly, more profitable.”
GreenpointMed is a Florida-based medical billing and credentialing service provider to healthcare practices nationwide. The acquisition of GreenpointMed further enhances the level of support SimiTree delivers to clients by expanding billing and debt recovery capabilities and offering time-saving credentialing services with insurance panels. GreenpointMed has extensive credentialing experience nationwide with all insurers, including Medicare and Medicaid.
“GreenpointMed has an impressive record of helping clients achieve their financial goals, and we are excited to bring their skilled team on board,” said Freytag.
