SecureCARE
and MedFORCE Technologies to Offer Integrated
Software Solution
Austin, TX
-- SecureCARE Technologies, Inc. (OTC Bulletin
Board: SCUI), a leading Internet-based document
exchange and e-signature solution company for the
healthcare industry, announced today its
collaboration with New York-based MedFORCE
Technologies to develop an integrated module that
will provide a paperless solution for DME/HME
clients.
MedFORCE is the developer of MedFORCE Scan, the only
HIPAA-ready document imaging solution specifically
designed for the durable medical equipment (DME) and
home medical equipment (HME) industries.
Dennis J. Nasto, senior vice president of sales and
marketing with SecureCARE Technologies, said, “With
MedFORCE joining our rapidly growing network of
software vendors, we can accelerate the change in
the way the healthcare community does business. The
combined solution will enable the DME and HME
providers to become more efficient by reducing ‘days
sales outstanding’ to improve profitability. The
integration will also expand SecureCARE’s reach into
the DME/HME market, as it allows us to offer an
integrated solution to MedFORCE’s customer base.”
Esther Apter, CEO of MedFORCE Technologies, said,
“MedFORCE Technologies chose to integrate with
SecureCARE because the company’s solution is a
valuable asset to DME and HME providers. Our
integrated solution will allow a paperless document
exchange between DME/HMEs and physicians, which will
significantly enhance efficiencies within the
healthcare system.”
Apter continued, “With our integrated solution,
documents will be easily accessible to healthcare
providers in one location and document management
will be more centralized. MedFORCE customers will be
able to send certificates of medical necessity (CMNs)
and doctors’ orders directly to physicians via their
computer rather than using costly mail or hand
delivery.”
About MedFORCE
Technologies, Inc.
MedFORCE
Technologies is a software company that develops
applications for the healthcare
industry. The software company was established by
Healthcare Management Solutions Inc. (HMS), a
medical billing service company launched in 1993.
MedFORCE Scan, the company’s lead product, has been
in use by HMS since 2000. Due to the fact that HMS’s
clients encompass a wide variety of medical
providers, the software is designed with the
understanding of the unique needs of all types of
medical offices and businesses. MedFORCE Scan is the
only HIPAA-ready document imaging solution designed
specifically for the DME/HME industry. It replaces
existing manual filing systems with a centralized
digital system, functioning just like the paper
files that clients are used to dealing with. The
solution allows for various levels of authority for
accessing, updating and printing patients’ files and
can produce HIPAA reports on-demand. Electronic
remittance notices can be automatically imported
into patients’ files and printing of explanations of
medical benefits for a specific patient can be
isolated and simplified for easier follow-up.
MedFORCE Technologies is a VGM Group partner and an
AAHC preferred vendor. These alliances enable
MedFORCE to offer value-priced opportunities and
discounts to members of both groups. For more
