Extending its service area to seven new states and strengthening it in seven existing markets, The IMA Group (IMA) announced today the acquisition of Redlink, Inc., a regional provider of Social Security Disability evaluations currently operating in the Western United States. The acquisition continues IMA’s long-standing commitment to providing quality Social Security Disability Consultative Examinations (CEs) and positions it to further expand its portfolio of service offerings in rapidly growing markets.
The IMA Group is a technology-driven provider of medical and psychological screening and evaluation services with more than 30 years’ experience in returning people to work and productivity. The latest move expands the number of strategically located physicians and other providers specializing in Social Security Administration (SSA) and Disability Determination Services (DDS) evaluations offered by the company.
IMA now provides medical and psychological evaluations and related services in more than 35 states, including Washington, Idaho, Nebraska, Utah, Kansas, Wyoming, and Montana. This expansion further enhances IMA’s commitment to serving the needs of rural and under-served communities by bringing more convenient access to local providers and clinics.
“In the current economy, the demand for quality outsourced SSA and DDS evaluations is greater than ever. We see tremendous potential for growth in the West, as well as a real need for services we offer. As a long-standing provider of CEs, this acquisition is a natural expansion for our company, and we look forward to serving an ever-broadening client base.”
Dr. Mark Weinberger, President & CEO of The IMA Group
Financial terms for the two privately held companies were not disclosed. Redlink will continue to operate under its current name to ensure a seamless transition for existing clients, with key leadership, including CEO and founder Jeremy Fenlon, remaining in place.
“IMA is a leader in our industry and well-known for its commitment to customer service, which dovetails with our business philosophy,” said Fenlon. “Joining this team will allow Redlink to expand its offerings and continue its long-standing practice of providing top-quality exams overseen by the best professionals in the region. It is a great opportunity for our clients and business.”
