VantageMed(R) Launches Medical Helper(R) Practice Management Software for Small Medical Practices

Posted on: Thursday, 8 September 2005, 09:01 CDT

RANCHO CORDOVA, Calif., Sept. 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- VantageMed Corporation (BULLETIN BOARD: VMDC.OB) announced today the expansion of its suite of medical practice management solutions with the launch of its new Medical Helper practice management software. With Medical Helper, VantageMed provides a robust practice management solution to a much larger number of medical practices than the Company addresses with its existing suite of medical practice management products.

VantageMed specifically designed Medical Helper to address the needs of small medical practices using powerful, reliable Windows-based technology with prices starting at less than $1,500. Additionally, the typical Medical Helper user can download and begin using the program within 30 minutes.

"With Helper I feel we have the same functionality and service that I thought was only affordable for offices much larger than ours," stated Barbara Highstreet, Evergreen Office & Billing.

Although simple, affordable and easy to use, Medical Helper is loaded with standard features such as electronic claims billing, patient statements, appointment scheduling, payment reconciliation and collection capabilities. The Medical Helper product is an extension of VantageMed's Helper Software product line. With 16,000 installed customers, Medical Helper will receive the same support that has made Therapist Helper the leader in Therapy practice management solutions.

"We understand the challenges facing today's medical practice and recognize the need for a high quality yet affordable practice management solution," said Steve Curd, VantageMed's Chief Executive Officer. "We are very excited to offer the Medical Helper Software product, as it enables us to provide excellent value to the numerous practices which may not be ready for the more advanced functionality of the company's existing products." Curd continued.

All Helper Software products include options for comprehensive training, technical support, maintenance and offers medical practices the latest features for HIPAA compliance.
