Ciraden
Announces A Partnership With Med E-Bill For Automated Electronic
Document Processing
Fairfax, Virginia --- August 1, 2001
Ciraden
announced today a partnership with Med-e-Bill, a Division of Southwest
Direct specializing in electronic billing and other document management
for the healthcare industry.
Dr.
Bernard Fink, Ciradens President stated, Med-e-Bill
is an industry leader and we are excited at the capability that
this relationship will bring to our customers. Industry research
has shown that offloading the menial and time-consuming tasks of
doing patient billing in the office can generate enormous benefits
to a dental practice. The marriage of Ciradens technology
with Med-e-Bills technical capabilities reduces electronic
statement processing to a simple matter of pressing a few keys on
the keyboard. The result is lower costs, better cash flow, and more
time for staff to focus on more value oriented tasks.
Greg
Brake, President of Med-e-Bill also expressed enthusiasm for the
partnership between the companies saying, The Ciraden relationship
is an opportunity us to associate with the leading Application Services
Provider (ASP) in the dental market bringing the value of our services
to their customer base. We are excited and look forward to a long
relationship together serving the needs of the dental profession.
Ciraden
is a leading provider of business services and technology solutions
to dental practices throughout the United States. Currently the
company provides services to approximately 42 practices in 6 markets
operating 78 dental offices (approximately $100 million in practice
revenue).
