MedInformatix Practice Management and EMR Produce Long-Term Gains for
Ophthalmology Practices
Four Practices, Each Celebrating Ten or More Years Using the MedInformatix
Solution, Enjoy Greater Efficiency and Staff Utilization

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- MedInformatix, a leading provider of
software solutions for the healthcare industry, announced the tenth
anniversary of its relationships with several prominent Midwestern
ophthalmology practices at the 2009 American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO)
Conference in San Francisco. In each case, the practices showcase the
benefits of MedInformatix's Practice Management (PM) and Electronic Medical
Records (EMR) Solution.

MedInformatix's PM and EMR Solution has achieved a strong following in
ophthalmology practices across the U.S. due to its flexibility and ease of
use. The MedInformatix EMR facilitates virtually any clinical paradigm thanks
to its extensive library of specialty templates that can be further tailored
to fit individual providers. The system's Document Repository allows users to
store digital files in virtually all formats and can import files from
virtually all sources. The MedInformatix E-Prescribing Module is SureScript
certified and supports electronic prescription routing and paper script
printing. The E-Prescribing Module also alerts physicians on any drug-to-drug
or drug-to-allergy interactions.

Together, MedInformatix PM and EMR solution provides a clinic everything it
needs for day-to-day scheduling, charting, billing, and reporting.
MedInformatix also offers optical inventory, referring physician marketing, a
patient portal, and an executive dashboard reporting tool to further
accommodate each practice's unique needs.

Midwest Eye Care, a large surgical and optometry practice based in Omaha,
Nebraska, has experienced the benefits of the MedInformatix PM and EMR
first-hand. "In the past ten years, our practice grew from 8 to 15 providers.
MedInformatix's flexibility easily accommodated our growth, while allowing us
to reduce the number of staff responsible for medical records management by a
little more than half," said Colleen Naughton, Administrator. "In the current
reimbursement environment, the MedInformatix software possesses the most
current certifications and feature, allowing us to qualify for Medicare bonus
reimbursement. Overall, I think the decision we made almost ten years ago to
purchase MedInformatix would be the same one I would make today, and that says
a lot for this software and the company behind it."

Migdalia Gonzalez of Minnesota Eye Consultants, a 30-provider practice with 12
locations throughout greater Minneapolis, reports that MedInformatix system is
both user-friendly and compatible with other enterprise software. "We have
access to MedInformatix at about 10 of our facilities, and we also have the
capability to connect from home," she noted. "We like to keep up-to-date with
the latest technology. For example, we use MedReport and Crystal Reports for
reporting, e-RX for electronic prescribing, and Optimatix for optical
inventory management."

Billing efficiency is a critical factor for The Eye Group, a Management
Service Organization formed by Eye Surgical Associate ophthalmologists in
Lincoln, Nebraska and a select group of independent optometrists in Southeast
Nebraska. Robb Linafelter, CEO of Eye Surgical Associates and administrator
of The Eye Group, said, "MedInformatix has assisted our clinics in improving
their cash flow through efficient billing processes. The majority of our
clinics have net days in accounts receivable under 25 days."

Reliable claims processing, as well as accurate EMR documentation, are both
key factors at one of Indiana's oldest and best-known eye care practices.
Grossnickle Eye Center appreciates the way MedInformatix has stayed on top of
many important facets of operations.

"Since using MedInformatix EMR, we have improved our patient care with more
complete documentation. We do not have legibility issues, nor do we spend
time looking for 'lost' paper charts," stated Kim Cloyd, IT Support. "Due to
advanced integration between the MedInformatix PM and the ZirMed
clearinghouse, the time it takes to send claims electronically has gone from
at least an hour per day to less than ten minutes. The integration also
allows easy access of claim status and electronic EOBs from within the
MedInformatix software, which makes our customer service easier, more
accurate, and faster for both patients and staff members."
