companies/PROMED seven figure order with AXA

Koblenz (euro adhoc) - CompuGROUP Holding AG, one of the world´s
leading e-health providers, has emerged as the successful bidder in
an invitation to tender issued by the major insurance group AXA. The
order is worth a total of EUR1.2 million for three years and will
enable PROMED, a Turkish subsidiary of CompuGROUP, to continue to
expand its cooperation with AXA.

The AXA Group, which is one of the leading providers of health
insurance in Turkey, will commission PROMED with the management of
insured patients scheduled for in-patient and out-patient treatments.
PROMED will also provide medical decision support services to monitor
and enhance the treatment they receive. This will enable AXA to avoid
invoicing errors and unnecessarily expensive extensions to the
diagnostic and treatment process, thus decreasing its accountancy and
management costs.

PROMED has a highly qualified team of doctors and nurses in place to
manage round-the-clock enquiries from hospitals seeking to ascertain
whether AXA will assume responsibility for the treatment of certain
patients or not. This clearing system will be extended to encompass
the monitoring of medical procedures which have been planned. PROMED
will map these procedures against the medical history of
policyholders. PROMED will pass on information to the hospital if
discrepancies are discovered or in the event that recent studies or
guidelines recommend a different course of action. This will enable
diagnostic and treatment plans to be optimised. AXA has also
entrusted the internal auditing and contract negotiations of
hospitals to PROMED as well as Electronic Claim Processing Systems in
medicine.

"Our overarching aim is to increase the efficiency of the health
system by 15 percent by deploying intelligent software", explains Jan
Broer, Chief Marketing Officer of CompuGROUP. "We are delighted that
this order has been awarded to CompuGROUP. Our innovative products in
particular clearly demonstrate that decision support has become a key
success factor for healthcare providers and that it has firmly
established itself alongside medical treatment and technology as the
third main pillar of the healthcare system", he continues.
