ASI's product, LuminX™, is a fully integrated suite of applications for employee benefits management, including a robust, rules-based claim processing engine, real-time online enrollment and eligibility maintenance, and comprehensive reporting capabilities. The software is currently used by more than 70 of the world's largest insurance carriers, third party administrators and self-administered organizations. As a market leader, ASI has built an EDI bridge to interface seamlessly with add-on software.

Qmedtrix offers its negotiation product, Qmedworx®, to all ASI clients for their medical facility claims that are out-of-network. The business partner agreement allows Qmedtrix to use the existing ASI EDI bridge to obtain claims from ASI clients using LuminX. This reduces the need for manual sorting and sending of out-of-network claims - such as inpatient and outpatient facility fees, emergency room visits, implants and ambulance costs - saving time and money by automating the process and ensuring that out-of-network claims are not missed. It also grants ASI's clients access to Qmedtrix's out-of-network negotiation services, resulting in re-priced claims that are fair and reasonable and avoids the balance billing of patients.

Qmedworx is designed to supplement existing secondary or wrap networks to maximize the opportunity for savings. The service compares subscriber patient claims with like claims paid in the same geographic area to determine an appropriate reimbursement level for the subscriber patient claim.

"Working together with ASI is a natural partnership. The combined benefit for our mutual clients, those who take advantage of the EDI bridge that integrates Qmedworx and LuminX, is very significant. Savings using Qmedworx negotiation services are realized by identifying inaccuracies and abuses in medical claims and range from 25 to 60 percent, with 60 percent of claims successfully negotiated. We chose to partner with ASI based on their reputation as a company, the technology they are able to offer and the people from both companies who share a vision for enhanced client service," said Merrit Quarum, CEO and Chairman, Qmedtrix.

"This agreement allows us to further enhance our service solution, giving our clients integrated access to a leading medical cost-containment solution and the resulting negotiation and bill review benefits available through our partnership with Qmedtrix. ASI clients can now benefit from the additional relationships, agreements and experience Qmedtrix provides, and the technology bridge from LuminX ensures a seamless data exchange between the systems," said Jim Senge, CEO, Acclamation Systems, Inc.
