UroMed, Inc. Selects Authentidate's Inscrybe Healthcare Service to Accelerate Health Information Exchange and Approvals from Referring Physicians

BERKELEY HEIGHTS, NJ
March 10, 2009

Authentidate Holding Corp. (Nasdaq: ADAT), a worldwide provider of secure Health Information Exchange and workflow management services, today announced that UroMed Inc., a leading national provider of home medical products and services for patients with chronic health conditions, selected Authentidate's InscrybeTM Healthcare web-based service to accelerate health information exchange and approvals from their referring physicians.

"By utilizing Inscrybe Healthcare, UroMed will be able to reduce the time it takes to process referring physicians' approvals on healthcare documentation.  Shortening the approval process will enable UroMed to provide its products and services to patients more quickly and significantly reduce back office processing and follow up," said Jim Weatherford, President of UroMed, Inc.

Inscrybe Healthcare facilitates information exchange with a comprehensive nationwide database of referring physicians for all types of health documents required for the authorization of medical equipment, therapy and care services for patients. The web-based service automates manual workflow processes and tracks the status of those communications, reducing the approval cycle time from referring physicians. The streamlined workflows improve the efficiency of clinical and administrative processes, while reducing costs and reinforcing best practices.

Physicians decide whether to review and sign documentation on the secure Inscrybe website or receive and send documents by facsimile. The flexibility enhances communications between referring physicians and UroMed because they can each conduct business the way that they prefer. Electronic or fax replies are linked to the initial request and updated on all systems automatically. Inscrybe Healthcare can also interface with billing, clinical and healthcare insurance payors' systems to further reduce errors and costs of transaction processing. As a web-based platform, Inscrybe is inherently scalable and easy to implement, providing for cost effective business expansion.

"UroMed already uses the web to make it fast and easy for their patients to obtain quality medical care and supplies nationwide. Inscrybe Healthcare's advanced features provide a new genre of streamlined communications between our comprehensive nationwide database of referring physicians and home health care providers that UroMed can apply to further reduce the time it takes to obtain necessary physician approvals for patient care," said Marcus Wagstaff, National Sales Director at Authentidate.
