Here's part of the release today from ABYT, the best internet play for the optometry industry...
..."Since the beginning of the year," Stephens said, "we have been
certified by Vision Service Plan (VSP), the nation's largest eyecare
medical plan, and we have signed an agreement with MedInformatix, Inc.
to market Alpha Bytes' H-NET(R) transaction and software services to
MedInformatix's existing and potential customer base in the North
American ophthalmology market. By this summer we will offer full two
way communications from our existing POS and LAB vision care software
clients providing these clients with automatic patient coverage, claim
filing and ordering from client labs through H-NET(R). In addition, the
preliminary analysis and design for the next phase are already
complete."
Stephens said, "We are very encouraged by the progress we are making.
We have several ground breaking developments pending that we hope to
announce shortly."
Alpha Bytes, Inc. is transforming itself into an Internet based
electronic transaction service provider. With a streamlined network
and an existing international customer base, Alpha Bytes is making
significant R&D investments to facilitate a rapid deployment of
H-NET(R) to as many users as quickly as possible. The relationship
with the alliance partners Microsoft Corporation (Nasdaq: MSFT) and
Compaq Computer Corp. (NYSE: CPQ) is designed to assure the company of
the most powerful solution for an Internet based transaction network
that will set the standard of excellence in the healthcare industry.
There were an estimated 475 million transactions between various
participants in the vision care industry in 1997, a significant number
of them handled manually. The transactions included such activities as
checking for insurance eligibility, claim submissions, frame ordering,
lens ordering, lab order/frame trace submissions, billing for lab
services and credit/debit card transactions. H-NET(R) is designed to
integrate all of these functions into an automated seamless network.
