Partnership Provides Aptus Tool to Medicare Health Plans for

Compliance Preparation and Reporting

Compliance Gateway, Inc. (CGI) announces the purchase and installation of the Medicare Choice module of Aptus compliance software at the Scranton, PA location of TMG Health, Inc.

Aptus is an original software application designed for the compliance needs of healthcare organizations and government-sponsored health programs, including Medicare Choice, HIPAA, Medicaid and various accreditation standards.

Christopher Churchill, TMG Health Inc.'s Vice President for Corporate and Legal Affairs, stated, "TMG Health utilizes the Aptus application to create an electronic binder of compliance information for Medicare Choice health plan clients. This binder resides on TMG's network and is organized by our consultants according to client requirements and operations. The binder allows TMG to electronically store all compliance documents and link these directly to each program standard."

Mr. Churchill continued, "In addition, Aptus contains links to HCFA's Method of Evaluation text (MOEs) and supporting Medicare regulations, giving secure network users an effective reference tool for accessing compliance requirements. We have built timely and comprehensive compliance programs tailored to the particular needs of each of our clients."

"Aptus is a valuable tool for healthcare organizations preparing for surveys and audits because it provides on-demand, continuous access to compliance-related information across the entire organization," stated Catherine Hills, President & CEO, Compliance Gateway, Inc. "Aptus enables healthcare compliance managers to monitor real-time survey preparation and associated activities, as well as measure progress at an organizational, product, departmental or functional level."

The Aptus database structure and ease of configuration allows for future and custom modifications to support additional healthcare product lines and/or accreditation processes. In addition, CGI assists healthcare organizations develop custom compliance applications using the additional Aptus SE customization application.
