Product Origins

History of SolAce EMC

ACE, the predecessor to SolAce, revolutionized electronic billing in the early 1990s by providing an affordable (and at one time even free) electronic billing solution to thousands of small medical offices at a time when vendors were charging thousands of dollars for similar solutions. ACE allowed these offices to continue using their existing practice management system, and at the same time reduce the handling cost associated with billing a claim by transmitting the claims electronically direct to the insurance company (Medicare only in ACE's case). The best feature of ACE was its unique ability to detect common billing errors that would cause the claims to be denied. This detect and correct feature allowed medical offices using ACE to reduce their cash flow window from months to weeks, simply by reducing the amount of rebilling that was necessary to achieve payment.

SolAce is the direct successor to ACE, and is being actively developed and supported by Ivertex in Phoenix, Arizona. Ivertex handles a variety of custom software development, primarily in the EDI and HIPAA arenas. Ivertex also provides Internet hosting and HIPAA-related business consulting services to complement the SolAce and custom software lines of business.

The product named PC-ACE Pro 32 that some Medicare carriers provide is not related to ACE or SolAce. The PC-ACE line originated from a product named PrintLink.
