Certive Solutions Inc. Jointly Announces Commencement of Liability Exchange Initiative
  
 

SCOTTSDALE, ARIZONA--(Marketwired - Mar 20, 2014) - The Board of Directors of Certive Solutions Inc. (the "Company or Certive") (CSE:CBP) is pleased to announce in association with its strategic partners, Titan Health Management Solutions Inc. ("Titan Health") and Liability Exchange, LLC ("LE"), the launch of a claims recovery collaboration for a select group of medical practitioners based in Phoenix, Arizona. The project involves the collection of medical liability claims incurred by physician practice groups in the treatment of automobile accident victims. These are claims against liable third parties outside the traditional health insurance infrastructure and represents a significant long term revenue opportunity for all three parties.

Titan Health will provide the operational infrastructure and deep claims management expertise necessary to drive positive claim adjudication. Liability Exchange and Certive will manage the customer relations, the technology and the workflow toolsets necessary to streamline interactivity between the customer and auto insurance claims adjusters. The intended result is increased collection of these otherwise ignored claims. Certive, additionally, has provided the financial resources necessary to implement effective manual and automated collection solutions, while in the process ensuring that the technology toolsets deployed are continuously monitored and configurable to multiple third party liability medical use case environments.

The initial project's annualized work in progress under management from the first customer is estimated at US$2,000,000, which is anticipated to cycle on a six month basis. Certive is actively identifying additional medical practice groups in the Phoenix market from which to leverage the initial customer and has identified two additional customers.

Third party liability is a growing market primarily due to the reduction in reimbursement from within the commercial healthcare insurance marketplace. Providers are now collecting claims outside of traditional sources to receive appropriate reimbursement for their services. Workflow management tools such as Liability Exchange will facilitate near term adjudication of claims resulting in more cash and fewer write-offs. Certive's partnership with Titan Health and Liability Exchange, provides the necessary human and technology resources to maximize collections from third parties.

Thomas Hoehner, CEO of Titan Health commented that "Liability Exchange is a significant market opportunity for us and is a much overlooked recovery segment with long-term implications for physicians and facilities. We look forward to working on this project with both Certive and Liability Exchange."

John Ragan, Managing Partner of Liability Exchange stated that "we are very encouraged by this partnership as it provides us with the operational support necessary for execution, the technical bandwidth to address virtually any identified opportunity and the resources to be highly successful."

Van Potter, CEO of Certive, remarked that "we continue to be witness to the importance of technology as the key enabler to providing efficiency solutions and therefore the financial survival of the U.S. healthcare industry as it faces enormous challenges with the management of data. Over 50% of all health care dollars spent in the United States today are allocated to administrative activities. Our sector, being denied claims, is rich with opportunities to drive new technology solutions that benefit all participants including the payer, the provider and the patient. We look forward to working closely with both Titan Health and HCF on this and many other initiatives."
