NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 28, 2003

Accordis (Nasdaq:HMSY), a leading business office outsourcing services company servicing hospitals and ambulance transport providers, today announced the appointment of Frank Massi, former Vice President - National Director of Revenue Cycle and A/R Services at Siemens Health Services Corp., as Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing. The appointment reflects Accordis's strategic focus on total business office outsourcing solutions for healthcare providers, the Company said.

"The addition of Frank to the Accordis management team strengthens our outsourcing platform from both marketing and operations perspectives," said Bob Holster, President of Accordis. "With Frank on board, we are well-positioned to meet the continuing demand for business office outsourcing by providers," he added.

"In the current economic environment, total business office outsourcing is providing an increasing number of healthcare providers with a more stable, less costly, and highly competent approach to management of the revenue cycle," said Massi. "I look forward to expanding Accordis's role in the developing outsourcing arena."

During his 20-year tenure at Siemens, Massi worked in virtually all aspects of the revenue cycle services market, including software development, workflow and process reengineering, and deployment of tools such as document imaging. Massi played a major role in the development and implementation of both total and partial business outsourcing engagements.

"The business office outsourcing services market is just now being defined and executed as a 'go-to' strategy for healthcare executives," said Massi. "With 30 years' focus in receivables management, Accordis has amassed all the right ingredients for a superior outsourcing solution: revenue cycle technology, operations and collections know-how, and process/workflow reengineering and ongoing management. Unlike companies with roots in software, IT, and consulting, Accordis is grounded in practical knowledge of the revenue cycle and methods to optimize performance at the lowest possible cost. It's this base of knowledge that has helped us evolve into who we are today--Healthcare's Business Office."

Massi holds a Bachelor of Arts in Computer Science from Temple University.

In addition to the hundreds of customers who have benefited from its A/R services, including New York Presbyterian Healthcare Network, San Francisco Community Health Network, and Cook County Bureau of Health Services, Accordis provides business office outsourcing to The George Washington University Hospital, the New York City Fire Department, the Los Angeles County Department of Health Services, and the City of Chicago Department of Revenue.
