OVERLAND PARK, KANSAS, JANUARY 23, 2014―The Corridor Group (TCG) announced today that it has
recently acquired Daymarck, a leading national provider of outsourced medical
coding and OASIS review services for post-acute healthcare providers. The
acquisition expands client offerings to address market-driven cost pressures, ICD-10
transition preparation, reimbursement policy changes, increased compliance
scrutiny and market consolidation across the health care delivery continuum. It
also directly strengthens TCG’s education and consulting solutions related to
ICD-10.
In
connection with the transaction, Karl “Nick” Dobrzelecki, Founder and Chief Executive
Officer of Daymarck, was named Vice President of TCG. As part of this role, Mr.
Dobrzelecki will work in collaboration with TCG’s existing leadership team and
report directly to Des Varady, President and COO of The Corridor Group. Mr. Dobrzelecki
is a senior-level executive with nearly 20 years of experience in the healthcare
continuum. Prior to founding Daymarck in 2007, he served in leadership roles
for Kettering Medical Center and Home Care Network, which included their
previous Ohio Medicaid Waiver case management contract, and served as an
officer with the US Army which included tours with Evans Army Community
Hospital, the 10th Combat Support Hospital in Bosnia-Herzegovina and
Irwin Army Community Hospital.
“We are pleased to have the opportunity to
combine services with a company like The Corridor Group, that has such a strong
reputation for excellence in service to the post-acute marketplace,” said Nick
Dobrzelecki. “Daymarck has been actively pursuing the right partner to help
with expansion of our business, and with TCG we can work together to define the
best services to deliver the most value to our clients.”
Both
organizations share a deep commitment to high quality, intimate customer
relationships, innovative approaches to delivering practical solutions and an
exclusive focus on post-acute healthcare providers. Most importantly, a strong
commitment to attracting and retaining great staff is at the heart of both
companies’ culture and success. Through
its partnership with Daymarck, TCG clients have the ability to take advantage
of outsourced coding & OASIS review, coding support to providers with
in-house coders and education for ICD-10 and OASIS.
“We
want to provide effective outsourced solutions to assist post-acute providers
as they prepare for the monumental ICD-10 transition,” said Des Varady. “This
acquisition expands our capabilities so we can provide ongoing solutions to
ensure operational compliance, deliver expanded educational resources to help
clients better prepare for ICD-10 and add increased value to those providers
that partner with TCG. We are excited to add Nick and his team to the TCG
family.”
