WEBWIRE

ALLS CHURCH, Va.- CSC (NYSE: CSC) today announced that it will team with HealthTrio LLC to add portal and personal health record (PHR) solutions to CSC’s FirstPortfolio offering for health plans and other payer clients. The added components include HealthTrio connect and HealthTrio PHR solutions.

Launched in October 2007, FirstPortfolio provides users with a collection of configurable applications that are hosted and maintained by CSC. Through the alliance with HealthTrio, FirstPorfolio now offers a comprehensive and customizable PHR system with integrated data and automated workflow. HealthTrio also provides online access to providers and members. Providers can verify eligibility and plan benefits, confirm coverage, and submit referrals and authorizations. Members can search for a provider, select or change primary care physicians, view plan benefits, check medical claims and update demographic information.

“By adding these elements, CSC enables health plans to provide critical administrative information and services to their membership and provider groups via the Internet,” said Deward Watts, president of CSC’s Global Healthcare Sector. “This will help clients improve the level of service they deliver, increase customer and provider satisfaction, and reduce both manual processes and the cost of doing business. We are pleased to announce these robust enhancements.”

“We are honored that CSC has selected us for its FirstPortfolio offering,” said Dr. Malik Hasan, HealthTrio president and chief executive officer. “The combination of FirstPortfolio’s market-leading applications coupled with our specialized administrative and health management software products is exciting for health plans seeking best-in-class product solutions.”

FirstPortfolio allows health plans to add new functionality in a fraction of the time required for traditional implementations while reducing financial risk and decreasing capital expenditures. Additionally, health plans benefit from a single contract that includes pre-negotiated prices for applications that are available through FirstPortfolio and CSC’s data center management services.

CSC’s Global Healthcare Sector, which serves healthcare providers, health plans, pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers, and allied industries around the world, is a global leader in transforming the healthcare industry through the effective use of information to improve healthcare outcomes, decision-making and operating efficiency.
