ATLANTA, April 26, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Orion HealthCorp, Inc., a leader in medical billing and practice management for more than 20 years, today announced the creation of its medical advisory board, which is comprised of leading physicians from large practices and groups in Orion's areas of expertise, including pathology, radiology, and anesthesiology. The board will provide expert counsel on medical practice issues, healthcare trends, and new medical developments that will benefit the company and its clients.

"Today's healthcare industry is fraught with uncertainties for physician practices, from new regulations and laws to process developments and information technology mandates," said Terrence L. Bauer, president and CEO of Orion HealthCorp. "Establishing an advisory board of this caliber is a key strategy in helping the company address these challenges and the additional real-world concerns of our clients. The accomplished and successful physicians, leaders, and businessmen on the board will help us support clients by sharing their advice and guidance on key industry developments and acting as physician advocates."

Inaugural board members include respected physicians from across the United States. Orion expects to expand the advisory board later this year to incorporate physicians and experts from a broad range of medical specialties.

"The fresh perspective of our advisory board will open doors for our company and complement our own internal expertise," continued Bauer. "With this combination of depth and range of experience, Orion HealthCorp plans to continue its steady growth pattern in serving both hospital-based and office-based physicians."
