Petal Acquires Xacte to Unite Forces For Medical Professionals

As a Canadian digital health leader with over 37, 000 professional medical users, the PetalMD team is delighted to publicly unveil its acquisition of the Xacte billing solution. This acquisition is an important complement to our current portfolio of services.

Xacte is a front-runner in web and mobile medical billing technologies, which is also a Quebec-based enterprise renown for its user-friendly interface and effective solutions conceived specifically for physicians. This innovative technology simplifies each step of the billing process, restructuring  all of the subtle intricacies related to these procedures, significantly reducing the administrative workload for physicians, and enabling them to allocate more time to their core practice. For PetalMD, the introduction of medical billing management represented an intuitive next addition to best address the needs of our users.

Motivated by shared ambitions, PetalMD and Xacte will merge efforts and resources in order to pursue a common mission to provide physicians with a unique offering of technological tools that enable greater efficiency and productivity, while at the same time simplifying their day-to-day life.

 

We are very pleased with this acquisition because it coincides with our mission to rethink the health system and permits, among other things, doctors to save time, thereby improving access and quality of care. Medical billing is an essential task for doctors and developing tools to reduce the time spent dealing with this task, as well as other administrative tasks such as scheduling, helps create a sense of pride in contributing to a noble mission… improving our health system.” - Patrice Gilbert, CEO of PetalMD

 

This acquisition was made possible through the financial support of the Growth and Transition Capital arm of BDC Capital, which offers funding solutions designed to conserve the resources of high-growth companies, while at the same time limiting long-term share dilution. “PetalMD’s success within the digital health market is remarkable,” stated Louise Langevin, Vice-President of the Growth and Transition Capital division of BDC Capital. “Our team works with a lot of software companies that have recurring revenue. This allows us to appreciate the vision coming from PetalMD’s team, as well as their leadership position. Our investment in PetalMD’s growth plan, which includes the strategic acquisition of Xacte, aims to help the company pursue its expansion in Canada and Europe.”
