POC Network Technologies Leverages NaviMedix' Extensive Provider Network to Enhance Distribution for eDispense[R] Vaccine Manager[TM]

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- NaviMedix, the leading innovator in automating healthcare provider communications, broadens its portfolio by offering POC Network Technologies' (PNT) Medicare Part D services via the NaviNet([R]) Network. Over 600,000 providers nationwide can now submit Medicare Part D vaccine claims online via NaviNet. PNT is leveraging NaviNet as a distribution channel for its eDispense([R]) Vaccine Manager[TM] solution.

NaviMedix was PNT's first choice as a distribution and integration partner because of its national physician network, and its ability to ensure broad adoption and utilization of new services that assist providers in managing the full revenue cycle for Medicare Part D and other vaccine programs. NaviMedix partners experience accelerated uptake of their services as a result of NaviNet's central placement within physician offices' daily work processes, and because NaviMedix' multi-sponsor approach allows physician practices and hospitals to interact with multiple payers and health services entities through a single portal.

"This partnership is another example of the power of combining the broad reach of the NaviNet Network with a valuable software service that solves an important issue for providers," said Tim Hargarten, CEO of NaviMedix. "PNT's eDispense Vaccine Manager will help NaviNet providers everywhere to administer this complex and growing component of Medicare Part D."

eDispense Vaccine Manager via NaviNet gives NaviNet offices a much easier way to submit and get paid for Medicare Part D vaccination claims, from the same central online location they already use daily to perform other financial, clinical and administrative transactions. The NaviMedix provider network can now use NaviNet to submit vaccine claims for over 80 percent of the country's Medicare Part D supplement health plans. NaviNet providers will benefit from eDispense Vaccine Manager's support for a wide range of vaccines including Zostavax and others.

"Our eDispense Vaccine Manager has dramatically simplified the Medicare Part D vaccine claims process, improving administrative processes as well as revenue cycles," said Richard A. Wolpow, CEO of POC Network Technologies. "Our partnership with NaviMedix gives PNT unprecedented access to a nationwide provider network and the ability to make our valuable services easily available to the type of offices that need them most."

NaviNet is sponsored by payers and other health service organizations and offered at no cost to providers. Providers interested in joining the NaviNet Community may visit www.aboutnavinet.com.
