JUNE 4, 2025
nimble solutions announced its acquisition of Contego, a specialized firm focused on revenue optimization for out-of-network surgeons, including their ASCs and office-based surgical practices, according to a release. This partnership expands nimble’s capabilities in supporting ASC surgeons with sophisticated payer strategies for in- and out-of-network payments.
“At nimble, we believe surgeons should have the freedom to define the payer relationships that best support their patients and their practice,” said Kelley Blair, chief executive officer of nimble, in the release. “Contego’s specialization in out-of-network billing, predictive modeling and legal strategy perfectly complements our mission to help ASCs and surgical practices expand patient access, optimize reimbursement and take control of their financial future.”
Contego has built a reputation as a trusted partner for out-of-network providers by combining data science, legal expertise and compassionate patient advocacy, according to the release. The company offers a unique blend of
- revenue optimization for out-of-network surgeons that combines expert claims and appeals management, predictive payment modeling and strategic use of legal resources to maximize reimbursement and cash flow;
- patient-centered, data-driven approach that pairs professional patient advocacy with advanced financial analytics and proprietary algorithms to deliver accurate forecasts and informed, profitable case decisions; and
- risk mitigation and legal compliance that leverage a deep knowledge of federal and state regulations and ongoing attorney engagement to protect doctors and surgeons, ensure compliant processes and secure plan-aligned payments.
“Joining forces with nimble is a powerful next chapter for Contego,” said Liam Hughes, president of Contego Solutions, in the release. “nimble's deep expertise in the surgical market and reputation for delivering results made this an ideal match. We see this as an opportunity to enhance the value we deliver to our clients and provide a supportive home for our team members. Together, we’re aligned in helping surgeons thrive.”
With Contego’s capabilities integrated into nimble’s platform, the release states, nimble’s enhanced payer strategy offering now spans
- full-service revenue cycle support;
- strategic guidance in managed care contracting;
- accurate forecasting for out-of-network payments;
- legal and compliance safeguards; and
- transparent patient communications and advocacy.
With payer relationships growing more complex, specialization more essential, and market timing and location playing a critical role in reimbursement, providers need flexible, forward-thinking partners. Contego’s out-of-network expertise backed by nimble’s infrastructure and insight offers just that, according to the release.
