Demand for Enhanced Interactions and Online Consultation Reimbursement
ORLANDO, Fla.--(Business Wire)--CollaborateMD, a leading provider of Internet-based medical
billing and practice management software for physician offices and
medical billing services, announced today that it will private-label

will distribute RelayHealth's secure online messaging service under
the name of CollaborateP2P+ to its customer base of 2,800 acute care
and outpatient doctors. RelayHealth is the leading provider of
healthcare connectivity solutions that allows physicians to
communicate with their patients, efficiently, affordably and securely.

As part of the agreement, CollaborateMD's physician customers will
have access to RelayHealth's reimbursable webVisit(R) consultations
and other physician-patient communications services such as
prescription refills and renewals, results delivery, requests for
appointment scheduling and referrals, health education information,
and more.

reimbursable webVisit consultations to payers and physicians wanting
secure online interactions with patients," said Douglas Kegler,
president and founder, CollaborateMD. "We are thrilled to partner with
RelayHealth to provide our physicians the industry's most advanced Web
communications tool proven to enhance care, convenience and
collaboration with patients on non-urgent practice procedures."

Because of the urgent need to share information in today's
healthcare environment, CollaborateMD will integrate its practice
management system with the RelayHealth online service to provide
single sign-on and automatic transfer capabilities. The integration is
expected to be completed later this month. The expected result is a
seamless stream of clinical and administrative data between the two
systems.

our network and reach out and educate more physicians from the solo
practitioner to doctors in medical group practices about the
convenience and efficiency benefits of using easy RelayHealth online
