Motion Picture Industry Pension & Health Plans Renews Contract with QCSI
PHOENIX --(Business Wire)-- June 17, 2004 -- Taft-Hartley Trust Fund Records Annual Savings of $3 Million, Increased Productivity, Accuracy and 100% Uptime with QCSI Products
Quality Care Solutions Inc. (QCSI(R)), a leading provider of information technology software and services for healthcare payors, announced today that its long-term client, Motion Picture Industry Pension & Health Plans ("MPIPHP"), has renewed its contract agreement to leverage the value of QCSI's award-winning products and accommodate its continued growth. Located in Studio City, Calif., MPIPHP is a Taft-Hartley trust fund dedicated to serving their membership within the entertainment industry.
Anwar Abbas, chief information officer of Motion Picture Industry Pension & Health Plans, stated, "MPIPHP was facing skyrocketing labor costs and a growing backlog of claims. Our legacy system was not capable of adjudicating claims electronically or meeting HIPAA readiness requirements. We implemented QMACS on a Microsoft Windows Server platform and increased productivity, decreased backlog, enhanced accuracy and lowered administrative costs -- for an overall savings of approximately $3 million annually."
Dave Engert, CEO of QCSI, stated, "The dramatic cost savings and productivity MPIPHP has experienced using our products is an excellent example of how our award-winning products empower healthcare payors with the right business outcomes at the lowest total cost of ownership. MPIPHP will continue to realize the extensive benefits of our flexible application solutions when it migrates from QMACS to our next generation product, QNXT."
