Attention: All Private Practice Physiotherapists

CPA Membership Provides Preferred Access to E - Commerce Solutions

The Canadian Physiotherapy Association (CPA) is continuously improving services to physiotherapists to enable you and your office staff to better meet patients' health and financial needs.

Settle Patients Claims Electronically: In August, 2005 we are implementing Canada's first electronic network solution customized for physiotherapists to securely submit patients' insurance claims electronically, plus other important features. CPA has entered into a business alliance with Continovation Services Inc.(CSI) to provide these advanced Internet-based tools: ITRANSTM* and eQualifIDTM* digital certificates. Bundled together and customized for your practice, these tools provide the basis for PhysioNetTM**, our new e-commerce model.

Top 5 Reasons to Implement PhysioNet:

• Security Features that meet or exceed privacy and security legislation; you can better protect your patients' confidentiality compared to the current paper environment by using the ITRANS transmission services.

• Answer Patients' Requests to look after their insurance claims, while improving your office efficiencies.

• Saves You Time, reduces operating expenses in your practice, and speeds up the insurance carrier claims payments.

• Digital X-Rays, Images, Attachments shared via secure communications amongst physiotherapists as well as other health care professionals; a big help with patient referrals.

• Additional e-Commerce Options are available; credit card and debit card eQualifID transaction processing for a preferred merchant account rate for all types of Visa and MasterCard. You no longer need an expensive and cumbersome point of sale terminal and you may be able to drop one telephone line. This combination can quickly save you substantial dollars.

CPA members have the added value of accessibility to ITRANS and eQualifID digital certificates for an annual preferred rate of $390.00 + GST.
Non-CPA members are able to access by paying $650.00 + GST yearly.
As an added bonus, we anticipate that your annual savings will more than offset your enrollment fee.

I believe this is a major positive step forward for administration of physiotherapy practice across Canada, and encourage all private practice physiotherapists to implement these important new tools.

Submit your enrolment package request today by downloading the form from www.physiotherapy.ca, to get access to PhysioNet, including ITRANS, and be one of the first Physiotherapists to use this exciting new technology.

Sincerely,

Pamela C. Fralick,
Chief Executive Officer
