Darien, IL - November 25, 2008 - Healthation, a leading healthcare claims and benefits software company, today announced that it has signed a three-year Software as a Service Agreement (SaaS) with MediGold, a Mount Carmel Health Plan Medicare Advantage Product. MediGold will implement AboveHealth®, the industry leading, e-business healthcare portal to deliver interactive, real-time communication and administration capabilities to its Health Plan, Member and Provider communities.
AboveHealth will enable MediGold to create a more positive consumer experience while enhancing their current consumer outreach communication outreach, and enrollment and other administrative capabilities to its stakeholder community.

The member portal securely supports open enrollment activities and other traditional customer facing operations lowering internal call volumes and increasing the overall efficiency of customer service operations.
