Per-Se Technologies' Medical Transaction Clearinghouse Receives EHNAC Re-Accreditation

ALPHARETTA, GA – Per-Se Technologies announced today that The Per-Se Exchange, one of the largest electronic clearinghouses for medical transactions, has received re-accreditation by the Electronic Healthcare Network Accreditation Commission (EHNAC). Per-Se is the leader in Connective Healthcare solutions that help physicians and hospitals to realize their financial goals.

EHNAC is an independent, not-for-profit accrediting agency that provides independent peer evaluation of an organization’s ability to perform at industry-established levels.

Per-Se’s clearinghouse has been accredited by EHNAC since 2000. The re-accreditation required a comprehensive re-evaluation of the Company’s network infrastructure and business processes, supported by extensive documentation and site visits. In particular, the re-accreditation validates adherence to HIPAA security and privacy regulations for the transmittal of patient data.

Lee Barrett, executive director of EHNAC, said, “Per-Se is one of a select group of medical transaction clearinghouses that has demonstrated to independent third-party evaluators its ability to deliver services consistent with the only standards in the industry that measure the overall business practices of a clearinghouse.”

“This re-accreditation continues to reinforce our commitment to high-quality healthcare transaction processing, as well as private and secure handling of client information,” said Bob Allen, senior vice president of Per-Se Technologies.
