CollaborateMD Offers Competitive Upgrade Program to Medisoft and Lytec Users

July 30, 2007

CollaborateMD (formerly ClaimGear), a leading provider of Internet-based ASP practice management and medical billing software for the healthcare industry, announced today an aggressive competitive upgrade program to CollaborateMD for existing users of Medisoft and Lytec.   The upgrade program is being offered in an effort to help medical offices and medical billing services lower costs and have more freedom and flexibility by utilizing an On-Demand Practice Management software program.The CollaborateMD competitive upgrade offers an instant discount of $150 to $700 off the current CollaborateMD setup fee of $899 or $999.  The amount of the discount is based on the price paid for the competitive product and the date purchased.  The program begins July 10, 2007 and extends through August 29, 2007.  For more details and specific terms and conditions visit: http://www.collaboratemd.com/upgrade.asp.  In combination with this offer, CollaborateMD is offering a steep discount on Medisoft and Lytec Data Conversions.

Douglas Kegler, Chief Executive Officer of CollaborateMD stated, “If a company purchased these competing products and decided they don’t like it after a several months, they have to write-off the large upfront cost.  Our discount, combined with our 30 Day money-back policy and free electronic claims and remittance for the first month, takes the risk out of upgrading to CollaborateMD from Medisoft or Lytec.”
Another benefit CollaborateMD offers over Medisoft and Lytec users is the ability to run on the Microsoft Windows Vista operating system.  As of today, the Medisoft and Lytec web sites state the software does not currently function with Microsoft Windows Vista operating system. “It’s hard to order a computer these days without Vista, which could make it difficult for Medisoft and Lytec users to upgrade or replace their computers when needed.” commented Mr. Kegler.

Some of the benefits of using CollaborateMD include use-anywhere flexibility, collaboration between unlimited locations, no large upfront or annual costs, constant software updates, streamlined workflow, and it’s easy to learn and use.
Medisoft and Lytec users switching to CollaborateMD no longer have to worry about transmitting claims to the clearinghouse or retrieving reports from the clearinghouse.  CollaborateMD takes care of all transmissions to the clearinghouse, retrieval of all clearinghouse and payer reports, and any HIPAA mandated updates.  The powerful CollaborateMD Claim Tracking System allows users to search for accepted or rejected claims, search on rejection keywords, search by payer, plus many more options.  CollaborateMD also takes care of all database management, security and continuous off-site backups. Users can concentrate on their billing and let CollaborateMD handle the rest.
