Posted on: Monday, 3 October 2005, 09:00 CDT

Connective Healthcare industry leader Per-Se Technologies (Nasdaq: PSTI) will provide comprehensive revenue cycle management services to Garland, Texas- based Imaging Consultants of Garland, LLP. The group chose to outsource services to Per-Se because of the company's expertise in coding, reporting and compliance management. Per-Se's Connective Healthcare solutions help physicians and hospitals realize their financial goals.

Sheri Hockett, M.D., president of Imaging Consultants of Garland, said the group chose Per-Se in large part due to the numerous positive referrals the group received from existing Per-Se physician clients. Dr. Hockett said she is confident the relationship with Per-Se will strengthen the group's operations through improved financial performance.

"After careful consideration of the time and expense involved in continuing to do our own billing, we determined that outsourcing was a more cost-effective solution for us," Dr. Hockett said. "Per-Se's approach incorporates advanced reporting capabilities and electronic billing that will better address the complexities of the business."

Imaging Consultants provides radiology services to Baylor Medical Center at Garland. As part of its agreement with the group, Per-Se will provide complete revenue cycle services to help improve financial performance and strengthen compliance. Additionally, Per-Se will provide dedicated customer service to address the needs of the practice.
