Roswell, Georgia January 23, 2012 MediStreams LLC, a Healthcare Revenue Cycle Management company entered into an agreement with Mississippi Coast Physicians, LLC whereby MediStreams' cloud hosted Remittance Automation services will be offered to MCP members at pre-negotiated, competitive prices.

Mississippi Coast Physicians, LLC (MCP) is owned and operated by healthcare providers who live and work in the Mississippi Gulf Region. MCP is a committed model of providers that offer employers and healthcare consumers, a full continuum of services. Participating providers have been carefully selected and credentialed and benefit from access to the organization's Group Purchasing Program.

The participating Physician Practices can now add the MediStreams services for conversion of paper Explanation of Benefits (EOBs) to formatted ANSI 835s, eliminating data entry and providing for a permanent archival of all remittances. A standardized electronic posting file automates the posting of 100% of remittances, regardless of the original source or format of the EOB or remittance. The service reduces back office costs, decreases accounts receivable days and increases accuracy and efficiency.

The initial provider to sign on for the service is Dr. Alfred E. McNair, MD, with Digestive Health Center PA, with practicing gastroenterology offices in Biloxi, Ocean Springs and Pascagoula, and D'Iberville, Mississippi. When asked why his practice contracted with MediStreams, Dr. McNair stated that he wants to improve the efficiency and accuracy of his billing and business office which will allow him and his partners more time to focus on their patients and the practice of medicine.

John A. Koch, Chief Operations Officer of MediStreams, said, "We are excited about working with MCP. The partnership allows us to extend our services to small and mid-sized providers quickly, efficiently and at a price that is typically only seen at large provider sites."
