LENEXA, KANSAS, July 7, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Digital Ally, Inc. (NASDAQ: DGLY) (the âCompanyâ) announces that its new healthcare business unit, Digital Ally Healthcare (âDigital Healthcareâ), has acquired a medical billing company located in the Mid-West with annual sales of approximately $ 1.0 million. This privately held company has a long history of providing revenue cycle management (RCM) services to over 40 physician clients in various specialties including orthopedics, pediatrics, internal medicine and cardiology. Digital Healthcare completed the acquisition through its joint venture with Nobility, LLC, an eight-year RCM company serving the medical industry.
The purchase price was $ 1,200,000 with approximately 70% paid in cash at closing and the balance by way of a earn-out promissory note bearing interest at 3% payable over 30 months. The earnout note is subject to adjustment based on future revenues and customer loyalty of the acquired company. This acquisition is one of two target acquisitions previously announced by Digital Healthcare and launches the operations of the recently formed joint venture. The second target acquisition is the subject of a letter of intent and due diligence is progressing.
âWe are delighted with our first acquisition. As we reported in June, we have capitalized our healthcare business with $ 13.5 million to make strategic acquisitions of private RCM companies that will provide recurring revenue and consistent profits. The First Acquisition is a seasoned company with a stable and diverse client portfolio and a track record of success. In accordance with our business plan, we will implement cost reductions and economies of scale to increase profit margins after the completion of the integration of the RCM company into our healthcare business, âsaid Stan Ross, CEO of Digital Ally.
âAs noted in our previous press release announcing the creation of Digital Healthcare, this is further expansion into the healthcare market alongside our Shield health protection product line. Digital Healthcare is implementing a roll up strategy by targeting the acquisition of accretive private RCM companies. Through our joint venture, we plan to provide superior RCM services for maximum customer retention following the completion of the acquisitions, while implementing appropriate cost reductions to increase profit margins, âcontinued Ross.
