Quantum Corporation, declared it has created a new US healthcare marketing and distribution company, Provmark LLC. Provmark is led by two professionals with deep relationships across the United States and noteworthy healthcare experience and sales track records. Mr. David Perry as President and Mr. Joe Giamichael as CEO will head Provmark’s efforts, which will focus on the marketing, distribution and delivery of healthcare products and service solutions to over 400,000 primary care physicians (“Providers”) across the United States .

Provmark’s value proposition to the Provider market is driven by highly reimbursable ancillary services to better serve patient needs.

Providers have therefore become a larger consumer/facilitator of reimbursable healthcare services such as testing, labs, imaging and surgical procedures among many others; Provmark gives Quantum access to the full revenue cycle generated by a Provider practice and the opportunity to monetize these ancillary service revenue streams through owned facilities. Provmark will also provide new source referrals into Quantum’s existing Ambulatory Surgical Center (“ASC”) to further enhance profitability. The patient sourcing and ASC facilities business model can be replicated across the United States .
