[Travis]

Lincoln, NE, September 17, 2008 – MacPractice, Inc., the leading practice management and clinical applications company for Mac and developer of MacPractice MD, MacPractice DDS, MacPractice DC, and MacPractice 20/20 is collaborating with NewCrop™, a leading provider of electronic prescriptions, drug interaction and insurance formulary solutions.

In a release this fall, all MacPractice applications will delivered with an extensive drug list, at no additional cost. In addition, every MacPractice user will be permitted to use the NewCrop Electronic Prescribing system, which is an easy-to-use, web-based software solution that is safe and secure. This system requires no downloading and no new hardware and is also available at no additional cost.

The interface between MacPractice and NewCrop eliminates redundant data entry and retains prescription history in the patient’s clinical record in MacPractice.

Additional content including automated allergy, drug information and review, herbals, managed care formularies, drug interactions, and leaflets for patient education in 18 languages will be offered on a subscription basis. Managed care connectivity, as an option, provides an all-doctor drug history.

In July legislation was passed to increase payments made by Medicare to physicians who ePrescribe in 2009, and decrease payments to those who do not in 2010. The government is in the process of adding more strenuous requirements, and MacPractice is collaborating with NewCrop to satisfy those requirements.

“We are pleased to contribute to the improvement of healthcare in America by supplying doctors with a solution for ePrescribing on a Mac that also improves efficiency and will increase their reimbursement,” stated Mark Hollis, President and co-founder of MacPractice.
