Letter to the Reader<br />

Dear Customer,<br />

Thank you for purchasing the <strong>2008</strong> <strong>ABC</strong> <strong>Coding</strong> <strong>Manual</strong> for Integrative Healthcare and for<br />

supporting truthful documentation <strong>of</strong> care provided by millions <strong>of</strong> qualified healthcare<br />

pr<strong>of</strong>essionals.<br />

This year promises to be exciting for all <strong>of</strong> us affected by the cost and quality <strong>of</strong> healthcare. The<br />

<strong>2008</strong> Presidential election gives us all the opportunity to speak out and demand access to costeffective<br />

and quality care.<br />

To support insurance reimbursement from qualified caregivers we launched ZipClaims.com, an<br />

online claims filing service. This product is designed to give business parity to over 2.5 million<br />

practitioners who are authorized to treat patients without physician oversight.<br />

ZipClaims allows any healthcare provider to document care using <strong>ABC</strong> codes while billing with<br />

federally-mandated HIPAA code sets. ZipClaims.com features include…<br />

� Over 4,300 <strong>ABC</strong> codes to automate care documentation<br />

� <strong>ABC</strong> and HIPAA code set mapping to support electronic billing<br />

� State by state scope <strong>of</strong> practice guidelines for 17 health pr<strong>of</strong>essions<br />

� <strong>Coding</strong> validation to reduce legal liability for insurers and practitioners<br />

ZipClaims <strong>of</strong>fers all healthcare providers an innovative online medial billing service for filing<br />

paper or electronic healthcare claims. Data stored inside ZipClaims.com will also help reveal cost<br />

effective options to medical care.<br />

Without <strong>ABC</strong> codes, millions <strong>of</strong> qualified healthcare providers would lack the tool they need to<br />

communicate their care and charges to the insurance industry.<br />

The synergy <strong>of</strong> a new President and the launch <strong>of</strong> ZipClaims.com will go a long way to reverse<br />

the current direction <strong>of</strong> healthcare. We are glad you are a part <strong>of</strong> it!<br />

Most sincerely,<br />

Melinna Giannini, CEO<br />
