Newswise — First Pacific Corporation, one of this country's best kept secrets in dentistry, announced today it will be releasing the newestversion of their practice management software program as part of its current offering to existing and new clients. Version 8.01 includes real-time electronic claim status so doctors can see the status of outstanding electronic claims. This saves time and money by not having to wait on hold with insurance companies. It will also include the ability to track collections by individual provider. For offices that pay their associates on a percentage of collections, this new version will allow them to track payments made on treatment rendered by a particular provider. Jeremy Clarke, Director of Client Relations stated the reason for the new version is customer driven. "We strive to develop our software based on the actual needs of our clients. We're now able to provide our clients practicing with associates the ability to track both production and collections. The addition of viewing real-time claim status will save countless hours of staff time waiting on hold with insurance companies," he said.

The software is being installed in beta offices in the next month, with a targeted release date of third quarter 2010.
