Northvale, NJ - June 13th, 2002 -Info-X, Inc., the healthcare industrys leading source of coding compliance solutions with a specialization in medical necessity, now provides e-signature capabilities in their MedicalNecessity.com software. Info-Xs browser-based solution validates medical necessity prior to services rendered. The scheduling, patient registration, and ordering departments in hospitals, along with physicians and remote sites utilize the system to obtain critical Medicare intelligence in real time. The new MedicalNecessity.com feature provides the ability to store electronic patient and physician signatures on Advanced Beneficiary Notices (ABNs) and requisition forms.

The ability to locate signed ABN and requisition forms electronically addresses a workflow challenge faced by many hospitals. Now when a patient arrives at the hospital without the proper forms, the hospital staff can easily access the original forms in seconds via MedicalNecessity.com. This is quite different from the way hospitals have been managing the process thus far. In the past, the hospital would call the doctors office to request that the document be faxed to their facility. Often times, the patient was delayed receiving the ordered procedure until the form was received by the hospital. In addition, this feature is particularly important when hospitals are mandated to produce all signed ABNs during a Medicare audit," says Jerry Baker, President and COO of Info-X.

Avi Sacajiu, CEO of Info-X adds, At Info-X, our focus is on listening to the voice of our clients. Many clients have requested a better way to conduct business at Internet speed while moving from a paper world to an electronic one. Our hospital, clinic, and physician clients now have the capability to instantly access signed patient financial and physician order forms on-demand."
