New Product to Lower Costs for Government Healthcare Programs

Plexis Healthcare Systems Partners with Vargo Consultants, LLC.

Ashland, OR (PRWEB) August 25, 2008 -- Plexis Healthcare Systems, a leading innovator in health care benefits administration solutions since 1996, has partnered with Vargo Consultants, LLC to introduce the Quantum Choice Product Suite to government healthcare organizations. Ready for immediate deployment, Quantum Choice offers government health care programs a comprehensive benefits administration solution that can save millions in taxpayer dollars each year compared with other current solutions available.

By partnering with the government solutions experts at Vargo Consultants, Plexis has significantly accelerated its national government healthcare strategy.

"In an era of soaring administrative costs, Plexis Healthcare Systems works to establish alliances with partners that will provide substantial benefits to our existing and prospective clients," said Plexis CEO Jorge Yant. "The strategic alliance between Vargo Consultants and Plexis provides State government healthcare organizations with the opportunity to capitalize on proven commercial success." added Yant.

Vargo Consultants is an industry leader in bringing the latest commercial technologies into the government health care market. With more than 35 years of state and federal government experience, the firm's partners actively seek out companies that offer the very best solutions to current government needs. "There is an evolution taking place in the government market today. States are much more interested in what solutions and products are working successfully for commercial healthcare organizations than ever before" said Keith Vargo, President of Vargo Consultants. "By identifying flexible, highly configurable solutions to integrate with and to support existing state and federal programs, we can significantly trim down development and implementation costs, thus allowing a larger portion of the program dollars to be spent directly on the members' healthcare needs".

For the past few years, state and federal agencies have been challenged with the need to enhance technology to a point where system data, functionality and reporting capabilities are a shared service across multiple programs. Through interviewing senior staff at several agencies, Vargo Consultants immediately looked to the commercial healthcare market for new technology that would support rapid, agile implementations across multiple programs and be delivered in a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) framework. "Solutions need to be scalable, highly configurable and, most importantly, offered at a substantially lower cost than current offerings", said Carrie McConnell, Vice President of Business Development for Vargo Consultants. "After spending the past 15 years working closely with and listening to state Medicaid program directors ask repeatedly for product-based solutions and only have project-based deployment solutions available to them, it's clear that the states want and need new options".
