ACCESS INNOVATIONS, INC. ANNOUNCES LAUNCH OF NEWEST ENDEAVOR 

Albuquerque, N.M. - Access Innovations, Inc., a leader in the data
management industry for more than 33 years, is bringing its patented and
trademarked technology to the medical compliance arena with the launch of
its newest business endeavor: Access Integrity, Inc. 

"Utilizing Access Innovations' Data Harmony software suite, Access Integrity
employs a natural-language, rule-based taxonomy application - Medical Claims
ComplianceR - to search, analyze, and verify electronic medical records
(EMRs), procedure notes, and submission forms simultaneously to improve
billing compliance, identify discrepancies for over and under billing, and
speed the submission and reimbursement process with fewer errors and
rejections," said Marjorie M.K. Hlava, president of Access Innovations and
co-founder of Access Integrity.  

Medical transaction integrity is one of the most important challenges facing
healthcare professionals today. Errors can mean audits, lost revenue, and
legal penalties. As technology and new legislation continue to change
healthcare, Access Integrity is committed to providing technology solutions
to help navigate today's healthcare environment. John Kuranz, CEO and
co-founder of Access Integrity, says applying cutting-edge data management
technology to the healthcare industry will revolutionize and revitalize the
processing of medical transactions. 

In a 2009 survey, the year the "meaningful use" incentive program was
created by the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical
Health (HITECH) Act, only 38 percent of physicians reported using an EHR,
and one-third had no plans to purchase one. Kuranz points out the survey
found that fully 82 percent of providers are now using electronic health
record (EHR) systems or are in the process of installing one. Only 6 percent
have no plans to adopt an EHR in the next one to two years.  

"Clearly, the transition to EMR is being engaged throughout the healthcare
provider community," Kuranz said. "Research has shown that the information
in a patient's EMR is not being used adequately for research, clinical
diagnoses, or medical coding enhancement. With the digitization of medical
records, our patented technology and 33 years of experience in deploying
rule-based taxonomy applications will now play a significant role in medical
transaction coding and compliant submission of insurance claims."

 About Access Integrity, Inc.

Access Integrity, Inc. provides patented technology for complete and
compliant EMR analysis. From diagnoses to coding to claims submission,
Medical Claims Compliance plays an important role in medical transaction
processing by extracting concepts from a patient's EMR using rule-based
datasets - increasing coding accuracy and improving clinical decision
support and overall understanding of a patient encounter. The application
suggests appropriate ICD-9 and CPT codes and supplies providers with a claim
discrepancy analysis, allowing corrections to be made prior to submission.
By increasing medical claims acceptance rates and boosting coders'
efficiency, providers generate more cash flow for their businesses.
