"We are pleased to report a 29% increase in our second quarter revenues,"commented Don Crosbie, chief executive officer of Claimsnet. "The increase inoverall costs during the second quarter of 2008 was due to the addition of newclearinghouse partners as well as customer support personnel, some of whichwas associated with the implementation of National Provider Identification(NPI) as mandated by the HIPAA regulations. The majority of our customers aresubstantially complete with this effort now. In addition, we added a new VicePresident of Sales and a Provider focused sales person at the beginning of thesecond quarter. This renewed sales effort is building a good pipeline ofopportunities and we anticipate that this investment in sales growth willpositively impact the financial results going forward.
"We have also signed several new payer contracts (as previously announced)over the last several months and implementation of these contracts bringsfurther revenue opportunities going forward."
