Why It Matters

Congress has put forth the MATCH IT Act to establish national patient-matching standards,which has sparked
Mymedicalimages to lobby on a federal level for the first time. This marks a strategic shift into policy advocacy.

The Healthcare Cybersecurity Act of 2025 will create security frameworks that cloud-based platforms like Mymedicalimages must meet. Recent VA hearings highlighted critical failures in medical record sharing between the VA, Department of Defense, and private providers—a gap Mymedicalimages directly addresses. Congressional momentum on telehealth expansion and rural health access further supports demand for digital image-sharing capabilities.

By the Numbers

Mymedicalimages registered its first lobbying disclosure effective January 1, 2022, but filed on October 24, 2025.

The company hired Corcoran Partners—a firm with deep healthcare and federal technology expertise—to navigate Congress. It represents the company with two registered lobbyists: Michael Corcoran and Robert Matthew Blair. Corcoran brings healthcare expertise from representing clients including Novartis Corp. and the American Optometric Association. Blair specializes in federal technology systems through previous work with CGI Federal Inc. and North Highland Co..

The Agenda

Mymedicalimages is lobbying on health care, patient education, and provider requirements within Medicare/Medicaid and broader health policy. The company’s cloud-based medical image sharing platform positions it to engage on several congressional priorities:

  • Patient matching standards — particularly the MATCH IT Act of 2025, which addresses inaccurate patient identification across healthcare systems
  • Healthcare cybersecurity requirements — including the bipartisan Healthcare Cybersecurity Act of 2025 establishing federal coordination on healthcare data security
  • Telehealth expansion and reimbursement — supported by the Bipartisan Health Care Act, extending Medicare coverage for remote services
  • Veterans’ healthcare data interoperability — addressing congressional concerns about seamless medical records transfer between VA, Department of Defense, and community providers

Between The Lines

Congress is advancing healthcare data interoperability and cybersecurity standards that align with Mymedicalimages’ business model. The MATCH IT Act addresses patient misidentification affecting up to one in five patients. The Healthcare Cybersecurity Act mandates risk management frameworks, while the Bipartisan Health Care Act extends telehealth Medicare reimbursement.

Recent House Veterans’ Affairs hearings revealed frustration with healthcare data exchange failures between federal agencies and private providers. A separate hearing on VA EHR modernization highlighted Oracle’s troubled rollout, potentially opening doors for specialized solutions. Vocal bipartisan support comes from Rep. Carol Miller (R-WV), Sens. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) and Mark Warner (D-VA) on telehealth expansion, and Sens. Jerry Moran (R-KS) and Pete Ricketts (R-NE) on veteran records access.

Competitive Landscape

Mymedicalimages enters a crowded field of organizations lobbying on digital health issues. Epic Systems Corp. dominates the EHR market and influences policy debates around medical records interoperability. MRO Corp. focuses on HIPAA and medical records through in-house lobbying. The College of Healthcare Information Management Executives (CHIME) actively advocates on interoperability, patient identification, and cybersecurity—areas central to Mymedicalimages’ business. CHIME’s support for the MATCH IT Act demonstrates industry consensus on foundational digital health legislation.

The Bottom Line

Mymedicalimages has positioned itself strategically in a favorable policy landscape for cloud-based medical image sharing. Congress is actively debating patient data standards, cybersecurity requirements, and healthcare interoperability—core issues for the company’s business model. Key legislation like the MATCH IT Act and Healthcare Cybersecurity Act align with the platform’s value proposition. The VA’s ongoing EHR struggles create market opportunities, though the company faces competition from established players like Epic Systems.
