NextImage Medical, the technology provider of radiology services management, has acquired SelectMRI, a wholly owned subsidiary of MSC Care Management (MSC), a care management company serving post-discharge and post-injury workers' compensation patients.

Due to 100% acquisition, SelectMRI, a provider of diagnostic imaging services, becomes a wholly owned subsidiary of NextImage Medical.

NextImage Medical CEO Liz Griggs said that with the acquisition they are in a position to provide a robust nationwide network of the best imaging centers and many workers’ compensation payers, including some of the nation’s largest carriers and TPAs, are recognising the superior technology and service that we have brought to the marketplace and we believe they will appreciate that they now have a very well-capitalized alternative for radiology services management.

“We are pleased to meet the demand for NextImage Medical to operate in many additional states. An overriding benefit of this acquisition is the natural strategic alliance that has been formed between the two organizations,” Griggs said.

“Customers of both NextImage Medical and MSC will gain from the added expertise the organizations bring across the continuum of products and services.”

MSC Care Management president and CEO Joe Delaney said that the transaction further demonstrates their desire to focus on and continue to invest in their core, service lines of Catastrophic and Home Health Services, Equipment and Device Management, and Optimal Care Transportation and Translation.
