COMPANY OVERVIEW
Claimsnet
is completing a turnaround to move the Company to profitability as rapidly as
possible. It has divested its legacy
business, adopted a new business model, hired a new CEO, cut expenses, cleaned
up its balance sheet, and implemented a sales and marketing initiative that is demonstrating successful results.
BUSINESS DESCRIPTION
Claimsnet
is a recognized innovator in the rapidly growing healthcare clearinghouse
industry. Its proprietary technology is
used by industry leaders and gives Claimsnet a competitive advantage through
greater flexibility and cost effectiveness.
Claimsnet’s
business model is based on high volume transaction customers generating recurring
revenue. The Company is primarily
targeting healthcare payers (insurance companies, HMO’s, PPO’s and TPA’s) and
related entities (“the payers”). The Company has established very valuable
business alliances with several companies (“the partners”) that provide
adjudication systems and other services to the payer market.
The Company believes that these partnerships will help the Company
achieve rapid market penetration. The
first joint payer initiatives from these alliances have been successfully
implemented and additional clients are now under contract. For these alliance
partners and their payer clients, Claimsnet offers a better product, reduced
costs for the payers and new revenue streams for the partners. The first three
partner Companies have an aggregate of 500+ payer clients that collectively
represent an outstanding marketing opportunity for cross-sale of the Company’s
services which along with our direct sales efforts have resulted in 40 new customers
since June 2003.
The
Company has recently completed several contracts that helped large payers comply with
federally mandated HIPAA regulations. The software solution created for these
clients expands the Company’s product offerings for the payer market.
There
are more than 4 billion healthcare claims filed annually in the
The
Company believes there are two significant forces converging on the healthcare
industry which, when combined, will significantly alter the way healthcare
transactions are processed and will work together to drive rapid growth in
electronic healthcare transaction processing.
First,
the introduction and proliferation of the Internet and Internet-related
technologies offer a significantly improved and measurable return on investment
(ROI) by:
§
Creating solutions that do not require expensive hardware and
communications equipment purchases
§
Creating solutions that can be deployed to a high number of
geographically diverse locations or wide area virtual private networks
§
Creating solutions that are more cost-efficient to deploy and operate.
Second,
the federal mandates related to the Health Insurance Portability and
Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) will call for healthcare payers to implement
secure electronic transaction processing systems for a much larger variety of
transactions. The requirements of
HIPAA dovetail very closely with the capabilities of Internet solutions. For the first time ever, there will be an
Internet based network that providers can rely on to:
§
Process secure transactions for virtually any payer organization
§
Process all of the most common provider/payer transactions in an
electronic format, while maintaining HIPAA compliance.
