We are excited to announce the creation of PerYourHealth.com!

PerYourHealth.com is a ground-breaking, consumer-oriented Web portal that has been designed by Per-Se to bridge an important communication gap that frequently exists today among patients, healthcare providers and payers.

Frequently, healthcare providers have not been provided timely, accurate demographic and insurance information on their patients. Patients, on the other hand, are not fully aware of complex billing processes and have had to struggle with numerous, hard-to-understand account statements as well as requests for information from multiple entities. As a result, the critical information needed by payers to resolve healthcare claims has been slow and inefficient to process, prompting discontent among all parties.

With PerYourHealth.com, patients can access and update their healthcare accounts with their physicians and gain answers to specific billing questions at any time during the day, and at any location that provides Internet access. This is the first Web site that focuses on the financial side of the equation. Per-Se has an interactive approach to educating patients about the financial issues that most commonly impact them.

How can patients utilize PerYourHealth.com?

By quickly accessing PerYourHealth.com through an Internet browser, patients can discover a wealth of information regarding their healthcare provider account, anytime and anywhere. After logging in with an account number and password (which are included on each patient statement), the patient accesses a PerYourHealth.com portal.

With just a few clicks, patients accessing PerYourHealth.com can:

* Review their charges, payments, current balance and other billing information on their account.

* Review and correct, if necessary, their address and insurance information, and thereby resolve any account situations quickly.

* Learn more about the details and features of their statements.

* Obtain answers to frequently asked medical billing questions.

* Find out definitions to specific medical billing terms.

* Learn more about the billing process.

* Understand the measures taken to ensure that their information remains private and secure.

In addition, PerYourHealth.com will soon be able to e-mail patients when any change has been made to their healthcare provider account. When, for example, a patient's insurance company pays all or part of a medical service, PerYourHealth.com will transmit an e-mail to the patient encouraging him or her to visit the site for details and confirmation.

When can patients start taking advantage of PerYourHealth.com?

Patients are given their log-in and password when their first statement is sent to them for any dates of service after August 1, 2001.
