Zuelke Automated Credit Coach Now Available

Zuelke Automated Credit Coach offers fast and simple method of grading patient credit without negatively impacting credit scores.

Bountiful, UT, February 11, 2008: Utah based Acceptx Financial Solutions, Inc. announced today that the Zuelke Automated Credit Coach (ZACC) developed under the direction of industry financial expert, Paul Zuelke, is currently deployed and available for orthodontic and dental practices in the US.

“We are pleased to announce that the Zuelke Automated Credit Coach (ZACC) has now available for release now that we have successfully completed a trial usage period with several orthodontists,” said Brett Blake, CEO of Acceptx Financial Solutions, Inc. “The credit grades produced by ZACC are excellent and ZACC will allow all practices to benefit from the Zuelke & Associates credit grading system which has produced impressively low default rates among those practices using the system for almost three decades.”

“We have validated this new online service, we know that it is a better predictor of patient repayment than anything else available,” said Paul Zuelke, founder and principal of Zuelke & Associates, Inc.  “The beta customers helped Acceptx refine the user experience, but the core technology that generates patient credit grades has been tested, validated and is ready to be used by any size practice.”

In a private letter to his clients, Zuelke said:

• “My staff and I have analyzed data collected over 20 years from hundreds of practices and have looked carefully at the accuracy of data made available from credit bureaus.  We have rejected the mainstream use of FICO scores, as our statistical analysis has proven that they are not reliable in predicting patient payments.   Instead, ZACC will use our proprietary and proven method of developing credit grades and sophisticated mathematical and statistical analysis of data we will collect from third party sources to create what I am convinced will be the most accurate predictor of patient payments.”

The Zuelke Automated Credit Coach will be available to practicing medical and dental professionals beginning immediately.  ZACC pricing is based on the number of monthly credit grades requested, and there are no monthly fees and no monthly minimums; practices will pay a modest fee for each grade requested.  Each grade will be available immediately and will be offered with financial coaching and suggestions prepared by Zuelke & Associates.
