Xtend Healthcare announces expansion in healthcare information management

HENDERSONVILLE, Tenn., Aug. 14, 2017 -- Xtend Healthcare, a leading healthcare revenue cycle management company, announced the expansion of its Health Information Management (HIM) technology and consultancy services with the acquisition of ELIPSe.

Based in Los Angeles, California, ELIPSe specializes in electronic health records consulting, ICD-10 coding quality and auditing, interim HIM and coding management, and clinical documentation improvement (CDI) engagements, serving clients from coast to coast.

Xtend also announced the appointment of Elaine Lips, a 30-year industry veteran and founder and CEO of ELIPSe, to lead Xtend’s expanded HIM services. ELIPSe’s team of 22 employees—many who are recognized HIM subject matter experts—will also join Xtend. 

“As the healthcare field evolves, information systems have become even more critical to delivering value and success for our clients,” said Mike Morris, president, Xtend Healthcare. “Our combined technology, HIM and coding expertise will allow us to provide our health system clients with an even broader and more integrated suite of services—essential in our fast-changing industry.”
