In a recent news release, Clinicient Inc reports that it has received $15 million in Series C funding from Catalyst Investors, a growth equity firm.

The company has also tapped Rick Jung as its new chairman and CEO. Clinicient adds that Todd Clapp and Ryan McNally of Catalyst Investors have joined its Board of Directors. The company notes that its new CEO served on Clinicient’s Board of Directors for 6 years and holds a deep understanding of the specialized business and vertical sector.
Jung has 25 years of experience working in healthcare services and extensive revenue cycle management expertise. He previously served in senior management positions at US Healthcare (acquired by Aetna), Medsphere Inc, an open source EHR company, and athenahealth, Inc, where Clinicient says he helped pioneer cloud-based revenue cycle management solutions.
Jung emphasizes that he looks forward, “to building on the fantastic work Jim has done, increasing our client base to assist more outpatient therapy businesses so they can focus their valuable resources on patient care.”
