ROSELAND, NJ – Automatic Data Processing, a developer of human resource, payroll and benefits administration services, has acquired AdvancedMD, which develops practice management, revenue cycle management and electronic health record software for small and mid-sized medical practices.
More than 10,000 physicians in 4,100 practices and more than 300 regional billing partners use Salt Lake City-based AdvancedMD's cloud-based solutions, company officials say. Roseland, N.J.-based ADP's Small Business Services, meanwhile, provides integrated HR, payroll and benefits outsourcing services to more than 45,000 physicians in approximately 13,500 small to mid-sized practices.

By combining AdvancedMD's PM and EHR solutions with ADP's full set of services and long-standing history of serving medical professionals, officials say ADP is now positioned as an integrated, single-source provider of medical practice optimization.
"With a trusted brand, best-in-class solutions and experienced management team, AdvancedMD is a highly strategic fit with ADP and will enhance our offerings to small- and medium-sized medical clients," said Jan Siegmund, ADP's chief strategy officer, in a press release. "A partnership with ADP means that physicians can dedicate themselves to what they care about most – patient care – while letting ADP take care of the rest."
"With our newly combined team, ADP and AdvancedMD will compete effectively for the small- and mid-sized physician practice market," he added, "which is going through a rapid technology adoption cycle and moving aggressively toward outsourced solutions – clearly ADP's strength."
