MDpanel Acquires Media Referral To Expand New York Footprint

By Amit Chowdhry ● Jan 8, 2026

MDpanel announced it has acquired Media Referral, a New York-based independent medical examination and peer review organization, in a deal aimed at strengthening MDpanel’s presence in New York and the broader Mid-Atlantic region.

The company said the acquisition adds Media Referral’s established insurance carrier client base and expands MDpanel’s peer review capabilities, complementing its broader medical review services offering across the U.S. Financial terms were not disclosed.

Media Referral will continue operating with its existing management team, with MDpanel planning to support the business over time through investments in technology, infrastructure, and service enhancements to improve scalability and client experience.

The transaction is MDpanel’s 10th acquisition, aligning with its strategy of partnering with organizations that deepen regional coverage and broaden service offerings.

KEY QUOTES:

“Media Referral has built a strong reputation for quality, responsiveness, and trusted relationships with its clients. New York is one of the most complex medical opinion markets in the country. Media Referral has consistently succeeded in this important market where even large national players have struggled or opted out entirely. This combination further validates MDpanel’s commitment to support medical opinions across all markets within the United States. Our world-class technology suite will allow us to service Media Referral’s premier clients better than ever before.”

Jason Erdell, CEO, MDpanel

“By joining MDpanel, we are able to offer our clients access to a broader range of services, geographies, and more advanced technologies, while maintaining the service standards they expect. This partnership positions us to deliver even greater value as client needs continue to evolve.”

Arlene Schechter and Linda Ackerman, Co-CEOs, Media Referral
