Medical Reimbursements of America Acquired by Riverside Partners

BRENTWOOD, TN – (February 15, 2017) – FCA Venture Partners V, LP (FCA V) announced today that its portfolio company, Medical Reimbursements of America (MRA), has been acquired by Riverside Partners, a Boston-based private equity firm.  Headquartered in Franklin, TN, MRA is a recognized leader in the rapidly growing field of specialty reimbursement services for hospital revenue cycle departments.  MRA leverages proprietary technology to help hospitals and health systems resolve complex motor vehicle and workers' compensation accident claims.  Additionally, through its Payment Integrity division based in Ft. Lauderdale, FL, MRA provides underpayment identification and recovery services that ensure Medicare and Managed Care claims are paid accurately and fully.

"I could not be more excited about the future of MRA as a result of this investment by Riverside Partners," said Bobby Rolfe, MRA's CEO for the past 4 years.  "Our team's customer-first attitude is the cornerstone of our success, and Riverside Partners' philosophy of empowering and supporting successful teams will enable each of our employees to continue their passion for serving our hospital customers."  In conjunction with the transaction, Mr. Rolfe and MRA President Lyle Beasley will remain involved with the company and continue their investment in MRA.  Mr. Rolfe will serve as a consultant to MRA and Mr. Beasley will continue serving on the company's board of directors. 

“FCA V is proud to have participated in the most recent funding of MRA in 2012.  Our belief in the proven track record of Bob Rolfe and Lyle Beasley, along with their management team proved to be a winning combination in growing the company to become a national leader in their field.”, said Matt King, co-managing partner of FCA Venture Partners.

FCA recently distributed proceeds from this sale to its Limited Partners.  This portfolio company exit provided an excellent return on capital invested and an IRR that exceeded industry norms.  FCA management believes this is a good indication of the overall performance of the fund. 

“FCA has a proven record of investing in companies that make a process faster, better, cheaper in healthcare.  We were very pleased with the outcome of this investment and are equally excited about our remaining portfolio companies in FCA V and the investments we are making out of our newest fund, FCA VI,” said John Burch, co-managing partner of FCA Venture Partners.
