Relationship built around BancTec's RemitCycle 360(TM) business process outsourcing (BPO) solution for end-to-end claims entry, processing and administration; offering is one of several in BancTec's growing BPO practice

DALLAS, Feb. 25 -- BancTec, a global provider of advanced, high volume document and payment processing solutions, announced that it has signed a five-year agreement with Pinnacle Financial Partners Inc. (NASDAQ:PNFP) through which Pinnacle will market BancTec's RemitCycle 360 solution as an outsourced, revenue cycle management offering to healthcare providers in the southeastern United States. Pinnacle, based in Nashville, provides a full range of banking, investment and insurance products and services for small and mid-size businesses, and in 2007 was the only bank on Fortune magazine's annual list of America's 100 Fastest-Growing Companies.

The RemitCycle 360 solution is designed for financial institutions that offer treasury management services to healthcare providers.

"The RemitCycle 360 solution will be attractive to many of our healthcare clients because of its ability to automate the capture, transmittal and access to claims information, thus reducing claim-to-payment cycle times and administrative costs," said David Sturdivant, Treasury Management Group Manager, Pinnacle Financial Partners. "We look forward to partnering with BancTec as a reseller of the RemitCycle 360 solution and believe that our clients will desire the significant efficiencies and savings it can bring to their practices."

"Pinnacle Financial Partners has a large presence in the southeast and will help to deliver the RemitCycle 360 solution to healthcare providers in the region," said Jeff Brown, vice president of BancTec's Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) practice in the Americas. "Pinnacle has already signed one client under this agreement and we look forward to working with Pinnacle to generate even more."

The RemitCycle 360 solution provides HIPAA-compliant revenue cycle management services by automating and unifying the administrative and financial events between healthcare providers, payers and banks. The comprehensive information exchange platform enables providers to greatly improve claims processing and posting, thus reducing administrative costs, shortening cycle times and increasing claim yields.

As a hosted, outsourced offering, the RemitCycle 360 solution streamlines the posting of payments by taking responsibility for claims entry, payment administration and exception processing. It incorporates BancTec's longtime, proven expertise in automating complex, high-volume and data-intensive business processes.
