Net Medical Xpress CEO Says Rapid Growth of Company's Telemedicine Business Reflects Global Trends

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., Feb. 25, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Net Medical Xpress Solutions, Inc. (OTCQB: NMXS) said today the rapid growth of the company's telemedicine business reflects forecasts for the industry. 

CEO Dick Govatski said, "The eight new medical groups that have contracted to implement our advanced telemedicine programs are coming online before the end of this month. These groups span from Georgia to California. They have completed final installation and start up procedures, even as we are close to signing significant additional business in March. The number of groups signing on is a larger increase over our new business from January 2013.

"This unprecedented growth in our company reflects the forecast of research firm GlobalData.  GlobalData has predicted that the worldwide telehealth and telemedicine market will grow at a compound rate of 14% between 2011 and 2018, reaching $32.6 billion. A nationwide shortage of medical specialists, particularly in rural areas, is driving significant changes in the industry that we believe will demand our solutions. We believe this need will only increase as the Affordable Care Act brings millions more potential insured patients into the national healthcare system."

Net Medical's telemedicine programs include remote examinations for diagnostic radiology and cardiology as well as clinical examinations in the specialties of neurology, psychology and cardiology. In 2013, Net Medical expects to add specialists in critical care, ICU, orthopedics, nephrology, urology and hospital based telemedicine services for nursing homes and rehab hospitals.

The Company said it plans to release 2012 financial results around the end of March 2013.
