Physician Interlink was founded in 1998 by a practicing physician who saw that the trend in healthcare was toward lower and slower reimbursements and increased regulations, red tape and costs. Thomas Moak, MD combined what he had learned from years of running his own practice with his experience on the contracting committee of a large urban healthcare system to create a business to give smaller practices access to the same technology available to larger practices, but at a more affordable cost and in a technologically friendlier manner.
