"This was a good quarter from an operational standpoint," commented Don Crosbie, Chief Executive Officer of Claimsnet. "Although revenue was 2% lower for the first half of 2011, this was attributed to one existing customer that had a short-term high volume requirement in the first half of 2010, but who then settled into a more normal volume level. It is gratifying to reach a breakeven point on a quarterly basis for the current quarter. We do, however, expect additional operating expenses in the second half of 2011 as we prepare for the migration to the 5010 HIPAA transaction standard as mandated by the Federal government required to be effective January 1, 2012. This creates a substantial amount of extra effort, but is necessary to maintain compliance and status as a medical clearing house company, thus supporting our competitiveness and good standing in a developing market environment into the future."
