QSI Dental Division's forges Channel Partner agreement with NEA

Aug 25 2009

Quality Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: QSII) announced today that its dental division (QSI Dental Division) has entered into a Channel Partner agreement with National Electronic Attachment, Inc. (NEA), a leading provider in the transmission of supporting documentation and attachments for electronic claims to payors for reimbursement purposes.

Under the agreement, the QSI Dental Division will offer NEA’s FastAttach™ functionality along with specific QSI software enhancements to its dental clients, affording them the opportunity to process electronic claims more quickly and efficiently.

FastAttach™ enables dental offices to transmit attachments such as x-rays, periodontal charts, intra-oral pictures, narratives and explanations of benefits, via the Internet, to NEA’s repository where insurance payors can then view them, in support of electronic claims—eliminating the need to send these items to the payors via standard US mail.

“The relationship we have forged with NEA will allow us to market the FastAttach™ system to our clients, offering them an enhanced option for the submission of electronic claims and the transfer of the documents and x-rays that support them. This is a significant benefit for dental offices since FastAttach™ helps to accelerate claim processing and eliminates the need to duplicate and mail attachments. We believe our clients will see great benefit from using the FastAttach™ system in the reimbursement process, which they can now seamlessly acquire through the QSI Dental Division,” said Kathleen Noll, Vice President, Technical Marketing and Implementations.

“We are very pleased to align with Quality Systems and its dental division to offer our innovative services. The QSI’s Practice Management Solutions Dental and Open-Item are some of the most sophisticated software programs available in the marketplace today and which enable dentists across the country to fulfill their quests to completely automate their practices. NEA is proud to provide electronic attachment services to clients of QSI’s Dental Division,” noted Tom Hughes, NEA’s chief executive officer.
