Medical Reimbursements of America to Expand and Relocate Corporate Headquarters

FRANKLIN, Tenn., Jan. 17, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Following several years of significant growth, Medical Reimbursements of America (MRA) plans to consolidate locations and relocate its corporate headquarters in late February to a 70,000-square-foot facility in the Brentwood / Cool Springs area.  Extensive renovations are currently being made to the new space, which formerly served as the Crescent Furniture showroom on Moore's Lane.

"MRA has experienced significant success in recent years, creating the need to move into a larger facility that will accommodate our continued growth," said MRA Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Stuart McWhorter. "Cool Springs has been our corporate home for more than 10 years, so we were pleased we didn't have to look far to find a new location that will meet both our space and layout needs."

The new headquarters brings together offices currently located in two separate sites; most of MRA's more than 300 employees will operate out of the new location. The space is undergoing a very thoughtful renovation and will be configured without walls and doors so that associates can interact easily.

"We are a company that works in teams, drawing on each team member's skills and knowledge. Our space planning has been very deliberate to create an environment that maximizes interaction and fosters creative energy," explained McWhorter.

MRA's new corporate headquarters will feature more than a dozen "huddle rooms" and conference rooms along with a recreational area large enough to include a pool table and video games.  Technologically, MRA will invest to upgrade to a state-of-the-art data center to accommodate increased call volumes and enhance its integrated data processing.

MRA works with more than 330 hospitals across 38 states to capture and accelerate payments on the most challenging types of patient accounts, including personal injury, third-party liability, workers' compensation and large-balance troubled accounts.  MRA helps client hospitals, including 27 major hospital systems, process these time-consuming and complicated patient accounts to capture revenue that might otherwise be lost.

"This move will help position us to serve a rapidly growing client base and to respond quickly to the dynamic environment created by healthcare reform and other legislation impacting reimbursement," McWhorter said.
