Jopari Solutions and CompIQ Enter Certified Systems Partner Agreement Completion of JopariPay™ Integration with Leading IQReview™ Web Based Bill Review Enables EFT for Workers’ Compensation Medical Payments, Electronic Remittance Delivery and Payee Portal Services

Lake Forest, Ca and Concord, CA. — May 29, 2005 — Jopari Solutions, Inc., the leader in automating medical, vendor and benefit payments for insurance industry claims organizations, and CompIQ Corporation, a leading provider of integrated bill review software solutions and services, today announced completion of Certified Systems Partner arrangements. The systems integration provides for joint technical documentation, a shared testing environment and coordinated upgrades and release management. Integrated services will unite JopariPay™ disbursement and remittance automation, and payment portal services with CompIQ’s full-featured IQReview™ browser based bill review application.

The partnership ensures a stable, fully supported automated disbursement capability for IQReview™ clients, who will benefit from the ability to convert paper based payments and remittance to EFT and electronic EOB / EOR’s, reducing conventional payment processing costs by 60%. Jopari users are generating net savings of $4-5 per payment. The two companies believe this level of demonstrated savings, in addition to the technology’s transparency, will drive significant payer adoption.

Steve Stevens, Jopari’s CEO Stated, “Payment automation and the migration to EFT payments not only generates large savings for payers, it enables providers and payees to more efficiently handle inbound payments and reconciliation processes. We at Jopari look forward to serving as a Certified Systems Partner complementing CompIQ’s valuable combination of outstanding service and a very strong bill review system.”

Workers’ compensation non-core business process administration is in transition. Back office strategies are focused as never before on engaging modern cash flow management systems. These types of systems, increasingly common in other industry sectors, are difficult for the typical insurance payer to internally build, or re-engineer, and deploy quickly and economically. For this reason insurance payers’ acquisition of automation capability from external business partners to streamline their non-core business processes, including bill review and payment, is likely to become the dominant claims operations model. With their Certified Systems partnership, CompIQ and Jopari Solutions are leading the market trend.
