CollaborateMD Introduces Nationwide Reseller Program
ORLANDO, Fla.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–CollaborateMD, a leading provider of Internet based medical billing software for physician offices and medical billing services, announced today the release of a nationwide Value Added Reseller (VAR) program.
In the last 12 months, CollaborateMD has grown their provider base 85 percent to 2,800 providers by strategically positioning their web site listing on search engines across the Internet. The VAR program is the next step in the company’s growth strategy.
“The VAR program will allow us to provide affordable, flexible solutions to a whole new customer base,” said Douglas Kegler, president of CollaborateMD. “VARs currently selling a Windows based medical billing system can now offer a system that allows their customers the freedom to access their data from anywhere, doesn’t require a large upfront investment, and doesn’t require the customer to purchase new or expensive computers, or annual upgrades or support contracts.”
Kegler added that numerous VARs have already expressed interest in the company’s on-demand medical billing and practice management solution.
“We will work with highly qualified medical software and service businesses across the country, making sure all VARs in the program are thoroughly trained on the CollaborateMD software and services to help assure customers continue to receive a quality product,” said Kegler.

CollaborateMD to Distribute RelayHealth Secure Online Messaging Under Private Label
RelayHealth’s Physician-Patient Communications Meets Physicians’ Demand for Enhanced Interactions and Online Consultation Reimbursement
ORLANDO, Fla.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–CollaborateMD, a leading provider of Internet-based medical billing and practice management software for physician offices and medical billing services, announced today that it will private-label RelayHealth’s physician patient connectivity solution. CollaborateMD will distribute RelayHealth’s secure online messaging service under the name of CollaborateP2P+ to its customer base of 2,800 acute care and outpatient doctors. RelayHealth is the leading provider of healthcare connectivity solutions that allows physicians to communicate with their patients, efficiently, affordably and securely.
As part of the agreement, CollaborateMD’s physician customers will have access to RelayHealth’s reimbursable webVisit® consultations and other physician-patient communications services such as prescription refills and renewals, results delivery, requests for appointment scheduling and referrals, health education information, and more.
RelayHealth bolsters the demand we are seeing with expanding reimbursable webVisit consultations to payers and physicians wanting secure online interactions with patients,” said Douglas Kegler, president and founder, CollaborateMD. “We are thrilled to partner with RelayHealth to provide our physicians the industry’s most advanced Web communications tool proven to enhance care, convenience and collaboration with patients on non-urgent practice procedures.”
Because of the urgent need to share information in today’s healthcare environment, CollaborateMD will integrate its practice management system with the RelayHealth online service to provide single sign-on and automatic transfer capabilities. The integration is expected to be completed later this month. The expected result is a seamless stream of clinical and administrative data between the two systems.
“This exciting relationship with CollaborateMD allows us to build our network and reach out and educate more physicians from the solo practitioner to doctors in medical group practices about the convenience and efficiency benefits of using easy RelayHealth online messaging,” said Jim Bodenbender, senior vice president and general manager, RelayHealth. “Moreover, studies show patients, too, want an online relationship with physicians, and RelayHealth offers doctors that opportunity to enhance interactions and get patients more engaged in their care.”
