NEW YORK: CureMD, a New York City based medical information technology and support Company is doubling its medical billing staff in New York City and Asia operations to 160 people. Kamal Hashmat, CEO of CureMD attributes the rapid growth to its offering of a free CCHIT Certified electronic medical record system to clients of the company’s medical billing services.

“CureMD ‘s medical billing”, explained Mr. Hashmat, “is an outgrowth of physician practices that wanted electronic medical records integrated with billing and other practice management services, but wanted to outsource medical billing. We have been pleasantly surprised by the response.”

In the past, most physicians turned to computerization to support medical billing in their office, however many have been restrained by staffing issues and the complexities of billing. Now with the economic incentives increasing for electronic medical records motivating converting from paper medical records to electronic medical records, CureMD Billing has built the means to integrate EMR with outsourced billing, providing the benefits of a complete all-in-one, tailored to the physician’s practice capabilities.

CureMD is a New York based developer and operator of sophisticated medical practice management systems designed for physician practices, as well as for medical faculties. CureMD’s HIPAA compliant software includes a complete and integrated system of practice resources including billing, electronic medical records, prescribing, scheduling, and practice operations.
