Houston, TX - Lucid Medical Management ®, LLC ("Lucid Medical" or the "Company"), through its wholly-owned subsidiary Exclusive Provider Network ® ("EPN"), has secured a $30,000,000 asset-based loan ("ABL") from Digital Lending Services("DLS"), an alternative lending institution. FocalPoint Partners, LLC ("FocalPoint") served as exclusive investment banker to Lucid Medical.
Texas-based Lucid Medical is an injury management organization ("IMO") managing end-to-end health care for personal injury, self-insured Workers' Compensation and U.S. Veteran patients. Shawn De La Garza, Founder and CEO, is a U.S. Veteran who pioneered the development of specialized diagnostic imaging services (e.g., full range-of-motion, "asymptomatic" MRIs) to identify injuries often missed with standard "symptomatic" MRI procedures. Over time, Mr. De La Garza recognized the need to take a more comprehensive role across the entire continuum of care. Lucid Medical's proprietary provider network, medical records portal, robust patient intake protocols, treatment utilization standards, and specialized revenue cycle management capabilities are key ingredients that materially improve quality of care for these patient populations. The credit facility with DLS solved the remaining barrier, a lengthy provider collection cycle generally coinciding with case settlements.
The innovative asset-based lending structure is specifically designed to accelerate network provider reimbursement, thereby granting expanded access to first-rate providers while encouraging greater coordination of care across Lucid Medical's network. Establishing a credit facility with a value-added, institutional lender enables the Company to lower its cost-of-capital while providing runway to execute its multi-state growth plan.
