Internet Payment Exchange Launches eHealthPay ServiceSM for Healthcare Providers.

Economically priced service enables online payment options

TOLEDO, Ohio -- Internet Payment Exchange (IPayX) (www.ipayx.com), a provider of electronic billing and payment (EBP) technology and customer service solutions to healthcare providers, utility companies, municipal governments and other organizations, announced the launch of eHealthPay Service(SM), an affordably priced, PCI DSS certified, online payment solution designed for healthcare providers who want to offer electronic payment options to patients and guarantors.

"Physicians and hospitals want online payment and cashiering capabilities similar to the ones utilized by large healthcare providers, but during these cautious times they do not have the budgets or the resources to invest in complex electronic billing and payment systems," said Douglas Braun, president and CEO of IPayX. "Our eHealthPay is an affordable and incrementally upgradeable entry-level service that delivers benefits such as accelerated cash flow and lower costs with almost no impact on internal staff."

eHealthPay Service(SM) enables healthcare consumers to make credit card payments online, over the phone or at time of service. Additional features of eHealthPay Service(SM) include:

* A robust set of customer service support tools including transaction search, detail and summary reports and an ad hoc query tool for on-demand reporting

* The ability to electronically void or refund full or partial payments

* A "Quick Pay" link that can be embedded in a company's existing Web site

* A consumer-facing online portal branded with the provider's logo and graphics for those without an existing company Web site

eHealthPay is simple to implement and use. Payment information is supplied to the healthcare provider in a daily remittance advice file or in detailed reports so both electronic (EDI 835) and manual posting are supported. It also has the ability to apply account and payment validation rules and can be upgraded incrementally to eCareview Healthcare Billing Portal(SM), IPayX's robust electronic billing and payment system which provides consumers with access to real-time billing information and significant online self-service capabilities.
