HIPAA Readiness.

As of the Effective Date, all internal programming necessary to achieve ClarEdi's level 6 certification status has in fact been completed. However, as of the Effective Date, the Company does not have any client submitting HIPAA-compliant 837 transactions nor do any of our existing payer connections accept a HIPAA-compliant 837 transaction; therefore, the Sellers are not able at this time to warrant that no additional programming to the processing system will be required in order for such processing system to process HIPAA-compliant claims once the Company's clients are ready to be or are in full production with the ANSI 837 HIPAA-compliant transactions.
