NEW YORK, Aug. 24 /PRNewswire/ — ITelagen, Inc., a
leading provider of healthcare IT and medical billing solutions,
today announced that the company was named to the prestigious 2010
Inc. 5000 list, a compendium of the most entrepreneurial and
fastest growing companies in America.
In order to qualify for the Inc. 5000, companies such as
ITelagen must be in business for 5 years and demonstrate exemplary
four-year growth. Founded in 2005, this was the first year ITelagen
qualified for the Inc. 5000 and was placed on the list at position
#1163, with an extraordinary four-year growth rate of 256.2%. As IT
Services was one of 2009’s top five highest grossing revenue
segments on the list at $13.2 billion, ITelagen is well placed for
future growth.
“Despite the economic downturn of the past 2 years, ITelagen
continued to focus on new service offerings in healthcare, a
decision that bolstered ITelagen strength during those tumultuous
times”, commented ITelagen CEO, John O’Keefe on the award. “We are
thrilled to have been named by Inc. Magazine as one of the nation’s
top entrepreneurial companies. This award is a tribute to the hard
work of the entire team here at ITelagen.”
ITelagen’s continued growth is partly due to the growth in
adoption of electronic heath records (EHR) across the United
States. Under the HITECH Act of 2009, health care professionals can
qualify for incentive payments when they adopt certified EHR
technology. The bundled life-cycle solution from ITelagen that
delivers medical billing, EHR, HIPAA secure hosting and unlimited
IT support, automates the medical practices billing and assures
that physicians qualify for these newly defined incentives.
