Geisinger Health Plan Selects Verilet @bovehealth Product Suite to Deliver Web-Based Access to Its Members, Employers and Providers

Plan Constituents Will Save Time, Minimize Costs and Increase Operational Efficiency Through Robust, Easy to Use Online Interface

SAN DIEGO & DANVILLE, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 8, 2004-- Verilet Inc., a healthcare technology company that delivers integrated healthcare management via web-based products, today announced that Geisinger Health Plan has selected its @bovehealth product suite to provide value-added online capabilities to its plan members, employers and providers. Geisinger Health Plan, a not-for-profit health maintenance organization (HMO), serves forty counties and over two hundred forty thousand members in Pennsylvania.
By partnering with Verilet, Geisinger Health Plan will enable its plan constituents to access information and conduct secure, encrypted transactions day or night in a real-time, HIPAA compliant interface. With the @bovehealth web portal, members can benefit from convenient online transactions, while employers and providers can minimize paperwork and automate their internal processes. The @bovehealth platform is expected to reduce health care costs for all constituents by conserving time and resources.

When asked why his company chose the Verilet @bovehealth product suite, Bill Byron, Vice President of E-commerce at Geisinger Health Plan, remarked, "It was important to find a platform that provided online enrollment capability in order to increase member satisfaction and improve the operational efficiency of plan administrators and providers. We also felt Verilet's strong relationship with Amisys would allow for a seamless integration of the @bovehealth product with our current legacy system."

While reducing costs and administrative tasks is vital to the success of forward thinking, innovative health plans, a healthcare management system must be user friendly in order to fully achieve its goals. The @bovehealth platform features a powerful, yet intuitive user interface via standard Internet browsers, and allows for customer driven rules and administrative controls without the need for programmers.

Verilet has experienced steady growth in recent years with expansions into important markets across the United States. "Our strategy has always been to bring real value to health plans and their constituents through a platform that allows communication in a time-saving and efficient environment. This endorsement by Geisinger Health Plan will allow us to increase our reach and serve a new community of members, providers, and employers," added Jim Ribelin, Vice President of Product Management at Verilet.
