Logix Health to start operations in Coimbatore

Logix Health, an emergency department coding and billing solutions company, today said it would start operations in the city from December this year.

Entering Coimbatore has been in line with the business growth of the company, which has achieved close to 10 million coding and billing jobs, its Senior Vice President (Operations) Peter Coakley told reporters here.

Logix Health, a wholly-owned subsidiary of LogixHealth, USA, forayed into the country in 2013 by launching operations in Bengaluru. The company now has two offices and 800 employees. It had been growing 20-30 per cent year on year, Coakley said.

Coakley, who was here to inspect work on the new 50,000 sq feet facility in Saravanampatti, said the company was investing USD 15 million in the initial phase and would hire and train 1,000 people.
 

Claiming that the company is into coding and billing solutions for physicians and hospitals in the US, with a range of solutions from coding to claims management, Coakley said, "We are looking to hire and train science graduates for our voice and non-voice services."

To a query on business in India, the company's Associate Vice President Muralimohan said that close to 30 per cent of the company's business was from the country.
