AristaMD, a San Diego, CA-based digital healthcare company specializing in eConsults and referral management services, merged with Sitka, a video-consult specialist network supporting value-based care providers, and the combined company raised $16.5m in Series C funding.
The backers were not disclosed.
Led by Brooke LeVasseur, CEO, AristaMD provides care transition solutions, now including eConsult, vConsult and referral management tools, which empower providers to conduct electronic physician-to-physician consultations to inform patient diagnoses and care, facilitate the selection and scheduling of in-person specialist visits, and schedule peer-to-peer reviews for insurance authorization. The company’s virtual specialty provider group offers primary care providers nationwide access to specialist advice.
Sitka customers will benefit from referral nurse navigation and access to referral management services. AristaMD will leverage Sitka’s established virtual specialty provider group, Sitka Medical Associates, and video consults to enhance its eConsult services.
The team also includes Kelsey Mellard, founder and former CEO of Sitka and the new president of AristaMD, and Dr. Julia Jezmir, Chief Medical Officer.
