LifeWatch Signed Agreement With UnitedHealthcare Insurance Company.

BUFFALO GROVE, Ill. -- LifeWatch Holding Corp. today announced it has signed a US national agreement with UnitedHealthcare Insurance Company, an affiliate of UnitedHealth Group (NYSE:UNH) that will provide persons insured by UnitedHealthcare in-network access to LifeWatch cardiac monitoring services and technologies.

LifeWatch is the leading independent provider of remote cardiac arrhythmia monitoring devices and services in the USA, which assist physicians and patients in the early detection and treatment of arrhythmia, and can thus prevent heart disease, stroke or sudden cardiac death. Millions of people experience arrhythmia, which most often occurs in people over the age of 50. Typical symptoms include palpitations, rapid heartbeat, dizziness, chest pain and shortness of breath. LifeWatch's services enable a physician who is treating a patient with arrhythmia to prescribe his patient with a small, battery-powered cardiac monitor that records irregularities in the heart's electrical activity over a 30-day period. The recorded data is transmitted over the phone to the LifeWatch call center, which processes the information and sends a detailed report to the referring physician for interpretation and treatment decisions. Making the LifeWatch services in-network simplifies the process by which a doctor can prescribe them to patients who are insured by United Healthcare.

"LifeWatch is privileged to intensify its existing relationship with UnitedHealthcare," said Frederick J. Mindermann, LifeWatch President and CEO. "This agreement strengthens the position of our salespeople when they approach physicians, health care professionals and hospitals that are members of the UnitedHealthcare network."

LifeWatch recently also achieved accreditation from the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) under the program classification of "Ambulatory Health Care Programs." LifeWatch is one of only a few independent diagnostic testing facilities worldwide that have received this Gold Seal of Approval[TM].
