Press Release Body: iTech Workshop (iTech), a data integration company with focus on
healthcare, announces the launch of their desktop EDI creation tool integrated with
ClaimWare, the healthcare receivables follow-up software from Healthware Inc.
Healthware Inc, a Wyoming based healthcare solution provider will act as a reseller
of this derivative product. This integrated product is positioned towards collection
agencies. This tool is a derivative of iTech\'s expEDIum Claims Scrubber product.

The expEDIum Claim Scrubber (eCS) is a desktop application that various entities-in
the billing and claims processing domain can use to enter, manage, scrub and
validate claim data. These entities include home based billers, small to medium
sized billing service bureaus and healthcare BPOs.

The eCS can be used to import claim data into its database from HCFA & UB92/UB04
Print Image or CSV files or by directly typing in the data using the form interface.
It also supports batch printing of claims on standard healthcare forms or A4 sheets
and batch processing of claims into equivalent EDI data. The eCS internally uses
iTech\'s proprietary expEDIum X12N Engine and expEDIum Validation Engine for HIPAA
validation of claims and creation of complete error free payer ready claims.

Currently this tool is available in two different versions- expEDIum UB92/UB04 Claim
Scrubber and expEDIum HCFA Claim Scrubber, they provide a standard UB92/UB04 and
HCFA form interface respectively to the user for entering and managing claim data.
Both versions of the eCS are National Provider Identification (NPI) ready.

iTech has a handful of clients for the eCS who are using this tool to successfully
process several hundred claims per day. For more information on this product please

This derivative product will be showcased at the 22nd annual March for Success
Conference and Expo held at the Green Valley Ranch Resort, Spa & Casino in Las
Vegas, Nevada on the 9th, 10th and 11th of April. This conference is put on by the
Healthcare Services Program of the American Collectors Association. For more

Mr. Siva Narayanaswamy, CEO of iTech, says, iTech is open to creating derivative
products such as the one created for Healthware Inc out of expEDIum Claim Scrubber.
These derivatives add value to existing legacy products/solutions by providing
features such as HIPAA validation and desktop EDI creation that may be lacking.

Mr. Wade Treasure, President of HealthWare, Inc, says, many collection agencies that
are providing early out services to their healthcare clients have struggled with
providing claims follow up and especially submitting electronic claims. Now with
this derivative product, a collection agency has a simple solution to electronic
claims follow up that can be achieved from their existing collection software.
