Who We Are

Our Story

Medata was founded by a physician and computer product visionary in 1975. The company developed software that automated medical bill review and made possible a product that remains at the heart of cost containment strategies today.

After almost 50 years as the leader in the industry, Medata was acquired by MedRisk. By combining resources, we aim to enhance our capabilities and provide an even higher level of service to our valued customers. The combined expertise of both companies will result in a broader range of high-quality products and services, meeting the diverse needs of customers.

With the strong leadership and guiding principles of the new executive management team, the company will continue to deliver innovative products and build strong relationships with our employees, clients and partners.
