Quality
Systems, Inc. and National Electronic Attachment, Inc. Announce
an Agreement
TUSTIN,
Calif. and ATLANTA Jan. 23, 2001 Quality Systems,
Inc. (Nasdaq:QSII) of Tustin and National Electronic Attachment,
Inc. (NEA) of Atlanta announced today that they have entered into
an agreement to offer NEA's FastAttach(TM) electronic insurance
claim attachment system to QSI's clients.
As a result of this partnership, QSI client dental offices will
be able to transmit attachments (x-rays, perio charts, intra-oral
pictures, narratives and EOB's) electronically for quicker, more
efficient review by Insurance Payors. A further extension to QSI's
e-business suite, this is a significant benefit for dental offices
as claim processing is accelerated, and the need to duplicate
film and mail attachments is eliminated.
The QSI Dental System offers a range of systems and services to
cost-effectively meet the needs of any size practice. The Company's
Clinical Product Suite features integrated restorative and perio-charting,
intra-oral images, and digitized x-rays to allow for seamless
movement of data throughout the system.
NEA offers systems designed to facilitate the process of insurance
submissions and processing by allowing required claim attachments
to be electronically transmitted. Visit www.Fast-Attach.com
for additional information.
Quality Systems, Inc. is a developer and provider of computer-based
