Maryland and Washington, D.C.-Based Progressive Radiology Providing Expert Medical Imaging in Chicago Area

Progressive Radiology acquires five MRI imaging centers in Illinois

FALLS CHURCH, Va. (July 15, 2014)—Progressive Radiology, the largest radiologist owned and operated medical imaging practice in the Maryland and Washington, D.C. area today announced its strategic acquisition of five Illinois MRI centers from MIDI, LLC. Progressive Radiology’s acquisition of the Chicago, Crystal Lake, Round Lake, Skokie and Tinley Park centers will benefit Chicago metropolitan area patients as well as referring medical providers, hospitals, universities and professional sports teams.

Progressive Radiology’s new locations will deliver the same cost-effective, compassionate care to patients of all ages and timely, expert diagnoses to referring medical providers that the company’s Board Certified radiologists and skilled staff have provided at its Maryland and Washington, D.C. locations. The new locations will also conform to the same high standards for quality and safety that the company is known for in Maryland and Washington, D.C., including the company’s substantial investment in state-of-the-art medical equipment.

“Progressive Radiology’s expertise in diagnostic imaging, commitment to compassionate, cost-effective care, and investment in advanced medical technology will serve our Chicago area patients and medical providers well. We are proud of our top-notch standards for quality and safety and we look forward to providing exceptional service to patients and medical providers in the Chicago area and throughout the United States as we continue to grow,” said Progressive Radiology’s Chief Executive Officer, Adam Starr.

Progressive Radiology now offers its services, which vary by location and include open and high field magnetic resonance imaging (MRI, MRA and MR arthrograms), low dose computed tomography (CT or CAT), ultrasound, digital radiography, fluoroscopy, DEXA scans and digital mammography, at sixteen East Coast and Midwest imaging centers.

About Progressive Radiology Progressive Radiology is a leading provider of outpatient diagnostic imaging services in Illinois, Maryland and Washington, D.C. Since 1975, Progressive Radiology’s Board Certified radiologists and skilled staff have delivered cost-effective, compassionate care to patients as well as superior service and expert, timely diagnoses to referring medical providers. Every Progressive Radiology medical imaging center conforms to the company’s high standards for quality and safety, and patients and medical providers benefit from the company’s commitment to investing in state-of-the-art medical equipment.

The Washington Post Features Progressive Radiology's Illinois Expansion

In the July 20 online edition of Capital Business, The Washington Post featured Progressive Radiology's Illinois expansion. By Thomas Heath.

Md.’s Progressive Radiology expands to Illinois

One of the largest radiologist-owned practices in the Washington area is getting bigger, expanding its practice to the Chicago area.

Progressive Radiology, which dates back to 1975, recently acquired five Illinois magnetic resonance imaging centers from MIDI.

The expansion is a big one. Progressive said it is expecting the number of MRI procedures to increase by 17 percent, and the number of facilities to increase by nearly a third.

“We think our business model, providing good doctors, advanced technology, a high level of service and good medicine, will lead to growth at these [Chicago] centers,” said Mark Monteferrante, a physician and managing partner and part-owner of Progressive. “We are not a mill.”

The acquisition is part of a growing trend in which physicians are becoming entrepreneurs, buying and running outpatient medical facilities formerly run by investors, who are fleeing parts of the sector. Progressive, which has 18 radiologists, most of whom are owners in the business, competes with Inova Health System, MedStar Health and Johns Hopkins Hospital.

Progressive is also using the acquisition to diversify its revenue stream beyond Maryland to a state such as Illinois, where reimbursement rates for Medicare and workers’ compensation are higher.

“The economic environment [in Illinois] is more favorable compared with Maryland,” Monteferrante said. “Maryland is a much more liberal state that puts a lot more pressure on the docs.”

Progressive’s acquisition of a Midwest company came about, in part, because Progressive’s chief executive, Adam Starr, used to work at MIDI and has kept in contact with them.

The economic environment in medicine is becoming more difficult every year,” Monteferrante said. “That’s leading to a lot of consolidation. People are now trying to do more with less.”Privately held Progressive has 11 sites in the Washington area and employs 100 locally. One of its centers is in the Foxhall area of the District, and 10 are in Maryland, making it the second-largest outpatient provider in Maryland.
