HealthEdge® Partners With FlexTech® to Implement HealthRules® Technology

Technology innovator and marketplace expert collaborate to deliver next-generation claims platform to healthcare payors

Burlington, MA, September 5, 2007 — HealthEdge, a pioneering healthcare software company, today announced that it has partnered with FlexTech, Inc., a leading managed care technology services provider, to implement HealthRules, the next-generation claims administration platform from HealthEdge. HealthEdge and FlexTech have joined forces to assist payors with every aspect of their HealthRules implementation including large-scale project management, business process redesign, integration, configuration, testing and training. 

The HealthRules suite from HealthEdge represents the next generation of healthcare payor technology. Based on a service-oriented architecture and the highly flexible, easy-to-understand HealthRules LanguageTM, HealthRules is the most innovative offering on the market today. HealthRules is highly scalable and supports core administrative processes, business intelligence, modeling, Web self-service and care management for payor organizations of any size or complexity.

FlexTech is a leading information technology consulting and services company with a full range of technology support for managed healthcare organizations. FlexTech consultants average over 20 years of healthcare and technology experience. FlexTech industry experts provide strategic direction and on-site support to maximize payors’ IT goals.

“The business benefits of a modern technology platform such as HealthRules are clear,” said Rob Gillette, CEO of HealthEdge. “Oftentimes, it’s the fear of the conversion that forces payors to forego innovation and live within the constraints of their legacy systems.  In today’s consumer-driven market place, that won’t be an option. Payors are going to be forced to make a change. Our partnership with FlexTech ensures we are ready with the right knowledge and experience to enable the smooth integration of our ground-breaking technology into payor technology architectures.”

“For years, FlexTech has been on the cutting edge of managed care technology,” said Craig Pfent, CEO of FlexTech. “Ours is a long history of helping payors get the most out of their IT investments. We believe that HealthEdge is poised to transform the market with HealthRules and we are extremely excited to partner with them at this pivotal time in the industry and in the evolution of their company.”
