Irving, TX – MedSynergies, Inc., a leading provider of integrated healthcare technology, claims and payment processing, and business analytics solutions for healthcare providers, announced today it has secured $24 million in funding from San Francisco and New York-based FTVentures. This is the first institutional round of funding for MedSynergies and will be used to grow its business and expand its geographic markets and services for healthcare providers, primarily physician groups, hospitals and corporate providers in the United States.

The company’s suite of services and products helps medical professionals optimize their revenues and accelerate cash flow while reducing costs. MedSynergies offers solutions for full outsourcing of the revenue cycle, access to the latest practice management technology and business analytics to improve practice performance.
