DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--VMG Health, a leading full-service healthcare valuation and transaction advisory firm, is pleased to announce it has acquired RR Health Strategies, LLC, a medical coding, compliance, and operational excellence management consulting firm based in Hauppauge, New York. VMG Health is a portfolio company of Northlane Capital Partners, LLC, which invested in VMG Health in March 2020.

The OpEx team optimizes workflow and staffing to help reimbursement accuracy and minimize costs, while keeping regulatory compliance a top priority.

“The VMG team and I are excited to welcome RRHS to VMG. RRHS is uniquely qualified to augment VMG’s existing capabilities with new, compliance-driven offerings. Pam’s industry reputation and service capabilities made RRHS a top priority to add to VMG’s platform, and our entire client base will benefit from having RRHS as part of VMG,” said Greg Koonsman, Founder and CEO of VMG Health.

Pam D’Apuzzo, added, “We view the strategic combination with VMG Health as only improving our capabilities, and it will give our current clients access to VMG’s wide range of resources. We hope to leverage the VMG Health network to expand our reach and continuously improve our service quality.”
