Medical Arts Press(R) Launches Money-Saving Claim Form Envelopes

Thu Jul 24, 2008 8:00am EDT
Exclusive New Envelopes Help Practitioners Save on Postage
LINCOLNSHIRE, Ill.--(Business Wire)--
Medical Arts Press, Inc. ("Medical Arts Press") today introduced
exclusive new letter-rate sized claim-form envelopes, designed to cut
shipping costs of CMS claim forms.

   Until now, practitioners had little choice but to mail CMS claim
forms either in standard-sized #10 envelopes, which hold up to 15
forms folded into thirds, or oversized 9" x 13" envelopes, which hold
up to 75 flat forms. Squeezing forms into standard envelopes often
results in heavily creased documents, which can be difficult to scan
or read.

   While the oversized envelopes safely hold forms, these envelopes
waste postage when used to mail quantities smaller than 75 flat forms.
For example, shipping 15 claim forms in an oversized envelope requires
$1.15 in postage and $0.42 for the envelope, for a total cost of $1.57
per mailing. The same 15 forms mailed in the new letter-rate sized
claim-form envelope cost only $0.76 in postage plus $0.46 for the
envelope, for a total cost of $1.22 per mailing and savings of 22%
over traditional mailing methods.

   The new claim-form envelopes hold up to 15 claim forms, easily
folded in half. They are made of premium 24lb white-wove stock and
feature a security tint and self-sealing closure for maximum security
and privacy. They are available for immediate delivery, shipped blank
or imprinted with the practitioner's name and address. Orders can be
placed by phone (800-328-2179), fax (800-328-0023), or via the Medical
Arts Press Web site (www.medicalartspress.com).

   "These new envelopes are a direct result of customers' feedback
about their frustrations around a lack of envelope better suited for
CMS claim forms," said Stella Kung, Product Manager, Medical Arts
Press. "Not only did we deliver a better envelope, but we are giving
practitioners time and cost savings. In today's economy, every savings
counts toward improving the bottom line."
