Aperture Health, Inc. Executes LOI to Acquire Doctors on Call
FAIRFIELD, N.J., June 18, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Aperture Health, Inc. (OTC APRE) announced today that it has executed a Letter of Intent to acquire Doctors on Call, one of the largest in-home medical practices in New York City. Doctors on Call, consisting of over 35 physicians and physician extenders, is devoted to the care of the frail and/or homebound elderly throughout New York City. Founded in 1968, and available seven (7) days a week, Doctors on Call offers home-based medical care including chronic disease management, laboratory, diagnostic x-ray, ultrasound, podiatry, and annual wellness visits to those incapable of accessing traditional primary care. Further, Doctors on Call has obtained preferential contracts with major Health Maintenance Organizations to provide high quality cost-effective medical care to patients transitioning from the institutional (hospital or skilled nursing facility) to the home setting providing over 2,000 patient visits a month.
The Center for Medicare & Medicaid Innovations has selected Doctors on Call to participate in the Independence at Home Demonstration Project. Among sixteen (16) participating practices nationwide, Doctors on Call was the only medical group in New York City to be selected for this three (3) year project, which is aimed to improve the lives of patients living with chronic illnesses by providing quality medical care right in the patient's own home.
"We are excited with the affiliation with Aperture Health for it allows Doctors on Call to rapidly expand both its provider network and range of services to include the lower eight (8) counties of New York State as well as New Jersey," stated Dr. Paul Rosenstock, CEO and Medical Director of Doctors on Call.
Aperture Health is targeting capital for expansion, as well as, marketing and management expertise for Doctors on Call to increase its provider base, to offer in-home specialist services and to establish strategically placed Diagnostic Urgent Care Private Practice Sites. Equipped with the latest in diagnostic radiology and laboratory services and coupled with a highly mobile provider network, these Private Practice Sites will offer Health Plans and local communities a flexible and efficient alternative to the long waits and inconvenience associated with over-crowded emergency rooms. The elderly can thus be visited in the comforts of the home and, if necessary, diagnosed and treated in the Urgent Care Private Practice Site and returned to the home setting at considerable savings in both time and money to all concerned.
James Hennig, R.Ph, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors commented, "By combining the clinical and business management expertise of Aperture Health and Doctors on Call, we open additional pathways to medical and pharmaceutical service offerings to homecare patients throughout the NY and NJ areas. Joining forces will allow for a more seamless 'transitions of care' process for patients from comprehensive physician evaluation through the initiation of pharmaceutical care at home."
