CREATIVE COMPUTER APPLICATIONS, INC., (CCA) (AMEX- CAP) a provider of Clinical Information Systems for hospitals, reference laboratories and multi-specialty clinic based laboratories, pharmacies and radiology departments announced today has entered into a licensing agreement with CareMedic Systems, Inc. to provide LMRP data and compliance validation software for multi-specialty clinic, commercial laboratory and imaging center, hospital and billing office environments.

CareMedic Systems, Inc., headquartered in Des Moines, Iowa, is the leader in Medicare Reimbursement Automation. CareMedic provides a compliance program supported by software that allows a hospital to validate if Medicare outpatient tests are medically necessary, at all points of entry to a health system CareMedic’s LMRP data has also been integrated into the CyberLAB II(R) and CyberRAD(R) order process. Before all tests are sent to Medicare, CareMedic’s hospital billing office Safety Net reviews all claims prior to submission to again validate Medicare medical necessity. If the hospital has the on-line option in the billing office, CareMedic will validate Mammograms and Pap Smear dates of service against the Medicare Common Working File (CWF) prior to submission.

“This is a wonderful opportunity for both CCA and our clients”, said Jack Murray, CCA Vice President of Sales and Business Development. “While Medical Necessity Validation was an important step in the process of controlling costs through the reduction of inappropriate testing, MNV just didn’t go far enough. With LMRP our clients can complete the functionality to really manage the process from start to finish.”

This relationship will provide CCA’s CyberLAB II(R) and CyberRAD(R) clients with the most advanced, integrated and cost effective LMRP compliance program available. There is not another LIS or RIS vendor today who can deliver a more complete solution,” said Michael Vasquez, President of CareMedic.
