 Frazier Healthcare Partners is pleased to announce the sale of its portfolio company, Elevate Patient Financial Solutions, to Audax Private Equity and Parthenon Capital.   Headquartered in Spring, TX, Elevate is a leading provider of technology-enabled specialty revenue cycle management (RCM) services for hospitals and health systems. Its platform provides critical solutions across Eligibility & Enrollment, Complex Claims, Revenue Integrity, and Patient Pay. Elevate’s mission-driven offering supports providers and patients by helping to enroll underserved patients in financial assistance programs, managing the collection of complex claims, and overturning claims denied in error. Through these services, the Company delivers over $3.5 billion of incremental revenue for its clients annually.   Elevate is a prime example of Frazier’s Executive in Residence (EIR)-led, thesis-driven approach to build category-leading healthcare platforms. In 2019, Frazier partnered with EIR Jim Brady to pursue an investment thesis focused in RCM, leading to the carve-out of Elevate (formerly MedData) from Mednax and the recruitment of Mike Shea as CEO. In partnership with management, Elevate evolved into a scaled, multi-solution platform through targeted investments in technology, infrastructure, and talent. Frazier’s Center of Excellence also played a hands-on role, driving critical value creation initiatives across technology, data and AI, commercial execution, and M&A integration, helping transform Elevate into a leading specialty RCM platform.
