Investment firm Marlin Equity Partners has acquired e-MDs, the provider of ambulatory electronic medical record (EMR) and practice management (PM) solutions. Marlin will merge e-MDs with its portfolio company MDeverywhere — which offers revenue cycle management (RCM) services and credentialing for physicians — to create a one stop shop for financial, administrative and clinical solutions, including a full service RCM offering. The combined company’s products are used by over 13,000 providers and 50,000 medical professionals across more than 40 medical specialties.

As part of the deal, e-MDs’ Founder and CEO David Winn will be retiring, and the combining entity will be run by Jim Brady, who will serve as the interim CEO.

“The ability to bring together e-MDs’ top-ranked PM and EMR platform with MDeverywhere’s RCM solution further enhances the company’s ability to meet the needs of physicians and other clinicians who are facing continuing challenges and uncertainty within healthcare today,” Brady said.
