The Spreemo Cloud-Based Healthcare Marketplace Adds Florida Radiology Coverage

NEW YORK, Aug. 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Spreemo, a cloud-based healthcare marketplace in the $200 billion radiology industry, today introduced statewide radiology coverage in Florida. Spreemo helps employers and their workers' compensation insurers make quality-driven healthcare decisions, driving better patient outcomes and lowering total cost of care.  

In securing coverage across Florida, Spreemo attracted some of the state's most preeminent radiology practices, including Central Magnetic Imaging - South (Miami), Tampa Bay Imaging (Tampa Bay), Diagnostic Professionals, Inc. (Fort Lauderdale), and Independent Imaging (Palm Beach).

"Spreemo brings quality into the forefront of healthcare decision-making, where it belongs," said Ron Vianu, Spreemo's CEO and founder. "In the past, third parties routed injured workers to radiology groups primarily based on price, although it's the quality of the radiologists, technologists, equipment and related factors that make the greatest impact on the success of patient outcomes and the total cost of care."

Spreemo specializes in workers' compensation radiology referrals, and it offers employers and their insurers quality-based metrics and predictive analytics designed to improve care and reduce costs. Further, Spreemo bypasses the inefficient and costly networks that dominate workers' compensation radiology referrals, streamlining communication between employers, carriers and providers.

"We are excited to join the Spreemo healthcare marketplace because it allows us to attract patients based on the quality of our radiologists, our machines and our work," said Dr. Michael Thorpe, medical director and chief radiologist at Central Magnetic Imaging - South. "In addition, Spreemo's online platform makes it easy for us to schedule patients and efficiently share data with employers and carriers."

In addition to Florida, Spreemo offers radiology coverage in large workers' compensation markets, including New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York and Connecticut.
