Per-Se Technology, a national healthcare management company recently announced growth plans in Roanoke County’s South Park Office building. Per-Se conducts billing and practice management functions primarily for hospital based physicians, and have been in business in the Roanoke Valley since 1989. The office renovation and company development plans were celebrated with a joint ribbon cutting ceremony with Branch Development, LLC on Tuesday, May 3, 2005.
Per-Se is located in 19,000 square feet of the South Park Office Building on Starkey Road, which serves as a regional processing center for Virginia and North Carolina clients. Due to business growth during the past year, Per-Se required a larger, more efficient operational space. To accommodate Per-Se’s growth needs, Branch Development LLC purchased the South Park Office facility and invested approximately $1,000,000 in capital improvements. The Roanoke County Office of Economic Development assisted with this project, which allowed Per-Se to remain in the County and expand on site.
Per-Se has doubled in size since 2001 and currently has over 90 employees. “As one of Roanoke County’s largest high tech employers, we are proud of the teamwork that went into retaining Per-Se in Roanoke County, and we look forward to working their team of professionals for many years to come,” said Doug Chittum, Director of Economic Development.
