IMS Technologies, Twin Falls, Idaho, is the first orthodontic practice management system to integrate the Zuelke Automated Credit Coach (ZACC) from Acceptx Financial Solutions Inc, Bountiful, Utah, into their system. The ZACC allows IMS users to pull billing party credit grades in seconds.
 
The ZACC was developed under the direction of industry financial expert Paul Zuelke, who has nearly 30 years of experience as a credit consultant to orthodontic practices. ZACC is currently deployed and available for orthodontic and dental practices in the United States.
 
“We’ve been impressed with how quickly IMS has responded to their customer’s need for improved credit information due to today’s uncertain economy,” said Brett Blake, chief executive officer of Acceptx. “The IMS integrated credit grading system allows practice users to pull credit in seconds using all of the data already stored in the IMS data base. I’ve been impressed with how simple IMS has made credit grading for their customers.”

“With ZACC integrated into our orthodontic practice management system, our clients will have the ability to effortlessly and cost effectively benefit from the same credit grading system Mr. Zuelke has used to produce impressively low default rates among his practice clients for almost three decades,” said Ken Fitzgerald, president of IMS Technologies.
 
Pricing for the ZACC is based on the number of monthly credit grades requested, and there are no monthly fees and no monthly minimums.
