FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Media Contact: FORESIGHT MAKES NEW COMPANION GUIDES AVAILABLE ELECTRONICALLY TO CUSTOMERS FREE OF CHARGE Foresight saves customers time and resources… Columbus, Ohio (November 4, 2004) – Foresight Corporation, the leading provider of automated transaction processing for healthcare, announced that it has captured the most-often used specifications required by healthcare payers and has made them available to Foresight customers in machine-readable format. In addition, Foresight will add to its growing collection of payer-specific Companion Guidelines on an as-requested basis. These services, free of charge to Foresight customers, will end the requirement to glean edits from word documents, or to reformat and submit this information in vendor-specific formats. “Since Foresight products are used by most of the major healthcare payers, we were able to accumulate a wide range of public companion guides and make them available to our customers. By eliminating the need to refit guidelines into spreadsheets or to perform other additional programming, we help all parties to save time, cost and resources,” explained Robert Fisher, Foresight CEO. By acquiring these pre-built, machine-readable versions of common Companion Guidelines, Foresight customers will be able to make rapid automated comparisons with other versions and companion guides, generate test data, and publish the companion guides instantly through an integrated set of tools. Based on Foresight’s popular EDISIM® technology, Foresight will also provide Companion Guides in Standards Exchange Format (SEF) for direct use in HIPAA Validator® DeskTop and InStream® to allow validation against both HIPAA guidelines and payer-specific edits in a single pass.
