Real-life clinical scenarios will now be used to enhance Alpha II`s user manual
as well as Meditec`s coding and compliance training program
MONTGOMERY, Ala. & SALT LAKE CITY--(Business Wire)--
Alpha II co-developer Unicor Medical, Inc., a leader in healthcare coding,
compliance and reimbursement and Meditec.com, a provider of online learning
solutions have reached an agreement to incorporate Alpha II`s CodingSystem
application into Meditec`s coding training program, as well as formalizing its
value-add reseller relationship. In addition, Meditec has incorporated real-life
clinical scenarios and coding exercises into the Alpha II training manual to
enhance the learning experience of new Alpha II users. 

"I recall with great fondness working with Peter Tanaka, a former (now deceased
and sorely missed) executive of Unicor Medical," said Jari Davis, CEO of
Meditec.com. "Peter and I had many in-depth conversations about coding issues
and trends, which helped to better position our respective companies for success
in this changing landscape." 

"Alpha II`s partner relationships have always been of vital importance to our
organization," said Stuart Newsome, vice president, business development of
Unicor Medical, one of the software developers behind the Alpha II cobranded
solution. "We`ve been committed to working closely with Meditec for many years
now, and their use of our CodingSystem application will enhance their coding and
compliance training even further, allowing both companies to better serve their
respective customers." 

Davis added: "We believe in a synergistic relationship with our integration
partners, and our internal experts carefully research and test all medical
information management offerings until we are confident enough to recommend them
to our customers. The Unicor Medical Easy Coder ICD-9CM book and related Alpha
II software have always been of the highest quality." 

In 1999, Meditec.com began using Unicor Medical`s Easy Coder ICD-9CM and has
become an early adopter of the Alpha II software, both for practice management
and for its coding-billing training process. Under the terms of the new
agreement, Meditec.com has been confirmed as an authorized reseller of Alpha
II`s CodingSystem application. 

Alpha II`s CodingSystem outpatient coding software provides front-end code
search and coding edit capabilities can improve revenues through faster, more
accurate coding. The company`s revenue cycle management products can be used by
information technology vendors and other developers as embedded software or can
be implemented as a stand-alone solution directly for healthcare providers.
