On-demand printing allow healthcare professionals to automatically download a customized book with only the codes and information they need

SEATTLE, WA -- April 30, 2005 -- Custom Coding Books, a web site offering print and electronic coding books and software, is now available through OneHealthPort, a secure online portal that supports the exchange of business and clinical information within the health care community.

In addition to its comprehensive selection of print coding and compliance books and CDs, Custom Coding Books provides healthcare professionals the unique ability to create their own custom coding books on demand. Using Custom Coding Books' innovative Custom Coder Application, healthcare professionals go online (www.customcodingbooks.com) and walk through a simple online process to choose the codes and coding information they need based on specialty and geographical location; purchase a Custom Coder™ book online; and immediately download a PDF file to print and/or view from any computer and/or PDA. Each book is automatically updated whenever rules and regulation changes affect the information in each book.

As part of the agreement, OneHealthPort subscribers will receive a discount of 12.5% on all of Custom Coding Books' already discounted products.

"Custom Coding Books is a nice addition to OneHealthPort's selection of participating sites," said Rick Rubin, president and chief executive officer of OneHealthPort. "Their customized books are an excellent example of how technology can simplify the lives of healthcare professionals."

Kelly Jorgensen, chief executive officer of Custom Coding Books said,"We are pleased to offer special discounted pricing to OneHealthPort subscribers. Our selection of coding and compliance resources has something to offer every practice—whether it's competitive pricing on well-known coding books and software or on-demand printing of a customized coding book created just for them."

On-line information is one of the cornerstones of the DimensionsTM suite of health care coverage products, which also provide members with greater choice and flexibility, and comprehensive care facilitation and disease management programs.

To protect the privacy of patient data, physicians and providers who access Premera's on-line information at www.premera.com will automatically be routed through OneHealthPort, a secure, password protected Web "portal" that verifies the user's authorization to view patient information.

"OneHealthPort will offer real efficiencies in reducing our transaction costs," said Richard Cooper, chief executive officer of the Everett Clinic – a 200-physician multi-specialty group practice in Snohomish County. "This new on-line resource allows doctors to get answers immediately. As a result, service to patients will improve and care delivery won't be delayed just because of an unanswered coverage question."

OneHealthPort subscribers can receive their discount by accessing Custom Coding Books by going to the OneHealthport site at www.onehealthport.com and clicking on the Custom Coding Books link from the home page. There is no charge to register for or use OneHealthPort's single credential which offers subscribers access to local health plan sites, clinical sites, and administrative and clinical tools.
