BOSTON, MA and TALLAHASSEE, FL–(BUSINESS WIRE)–TA Associates (“TA”), a leading global private equity firm, today announced that it has signed a definitive agreement to make a significant growth investment in Alpha II (“the Company”), a leading provider of revenue cycle management (“RCM”) technology solutions to healthcare providers across the care continuum. As part of the transaction, existing shareholder WestView Capital Partners will reinvest alongside TA to maintain a minority position in the Company.
Founded in 1983, Alpha II has grown into a leading provider of end-to-end RCM technology solutions. At the core of Alpha II’s offerings is a proprietary rules engine that helps providers proactively identify coding errors to ensure appropriate reimbursement, minimize denials and increase staff productivity. The Company’s proprietary claim edits fuel an industry leading clean-claims rate for Alpha II’s customers. Through a fully software-based platform, Alpha II has expanded its revenue cycle workflow solutions into insurance verification, denials prevention and merit-based incentive payment system (MIPS) reporting.
“We are excited to welcome TA on Alpha II’s continued journey to revolutionize the revenue cycle technology ecosystem,” said Todd Doze, CEO of Alpha II. “The foundation of our partnership is a shared desire to create the leading RCM software platform. With deep experience investing in and scaling mission-critical healthcare technology companies, we believe TA will be a valuable partner as we further expand our solution suite and accelerate our growth trajectory.”
Today, the Company’s technology integrates with electronic medical record, practice management, RCM and clearinghouse partners to support revenue cycle workflows for more than 100,000 clinicians. TA’s investment will support Alpha II’s continued development of mission-critical technology to serve healthcare providers, further solidifying the Company’s position as a market leader.
“We have followed Alpha II for many years and have been impressed by the Company’s commitment to developing innovative solutions that evolve with the needs of providers,” said Mark Carter, Managing Director and Co-Head of the North America Healthcare Group at TA. “As medical coding complexity grows and providers demand increasingly advanced solutions, we aim to support the expansion of Alpha II’s product suite via organic and acquisition-driven growth, while continuing to deliver ROI for our customers. We are thrilled to partner with Todd, the Alpha II team and WestView on the journey ahead.”
As part of TA’s investment, Mark Carter, Ethan Liebermann, and Eric Zagorski will join the Board of Directors. The transaction is expected to close in June of 2023.
