SANTA ANA, Calif. (BUSINESS WIRE - August 7, 2007) – POC Network Technologies, Inc., (PNT) will offer eDispense® Vaccine Manager™, a web-based solution for the submission and adjudication of claims for physician-administered vaccines now covered by Medicare Part D. “Pursuant to the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003 (MMA), certain vaccines administered in a physician’s office that were formerly covered under Medicare Part B are now covered by Medicare Part D,” states Richard A. Wolpow, vice chairman and co-founder of DSI. “This new benefit created some interesting challenges for patients, Part D plans and physicians. Most physicians do not have the ability to process pharmacy claims, nor do most health and prescription drug plans contract directly with physicians. As a consequence, all parties were faced with having to deal with processing cumbersome and costly paper claims. eDispense Vaccine Manager changes all of that.” Wolpow continues: “Using eDispense at the point of care, PNT’s participating physicians can verify real-time plan eligibility, be advised of the patient’s financial responsibility and determine the reimbursement amount the physician practice receives for vaccines administered in office. The entire coverage inquiry and claims submission process takes less than a minute to complete.” “The PNT Physician Network is currently contracted with plans that cover approximately 50 percent of Medicare Part D beneficiaries and is rapidly growing. We expect to have over 80 percent coverage by October,” states Andrea Serrate, vice president of specialty services and contracting. “Our goal is to prove that with the eDispense connectivity between providers and payors we will be able to help create new benefits and access for payors, patients and physicians related to administered vaccines and other medications dispensed at the point of care.” To enroll your physician practice in the PNT Physician Network and the eDispense Vaccine Manager, go to https://enroll.edispense.com or call 866.522.EDVM (3386).
