Alpha II to Provide Integrated Claim Scrubbing Solutions for Aprima Medical Software, Inc.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. --(Business Wire)--

Alpha II, a leader in healthcare coding, compliance and reimbursement, announced today that its ClaimStaker solution will be integrated into Aprima Medical Software, Inc.'s electronic health record (EHR) and practice management (PM) offerings. Based in Carrollton, Tex., Aprima will adopt Alpha II's claim scrubbing technology to replace an existing service.

"Alpha II has a sterling reputation for excellent customer service, which made ClaimStaker the clear choice for us," says Michael Nissenbaum, president of Aprima. "What we find most appealing about partnering with Alpha II is its high degree of professionalism and demonstrated coding expertise. We have no doubt that ClaimStaker will help us better meet the needs of our growing customer base."

Alpha II's ClaimStaker will allow Aprima clients to scrub medical claim files for accuracy prior to submission, improving validity, boosting cash flow and demonstrating clinical defensibility. Aprima will deliver this service automatically to customers using the previous code scrubbing solution, to those customers wishing to add the capabilities to their current system, and to new customers. No effort on the part of the practice will be required during implementation, and end users can maintain existing billing software, avoiding duplicate data entry.

"We are thrilled to have been chosen by Aprima based on our reputation for quality service," says Stuart Newsome, vice president, business development of Unicor Medical, one of the software development companies behind the Alpha II cobrandedsolution. "We're committed to flexibility and to adapting to our clients' needs, and we're happy to partner with an organization that is focused on improving patient care and satisfaction as well as the bottom line."
