Financial terms were not disclosed. Sweetwater, based in Addison, Texas, provides medical credentialing services, software and Internet tools to more than 800 managed care organizations, hospitals and other health care entities.



GeoAccess is a privately held firm based in Overland Park, Kan. Caredate.com filed for protection from creditors under Chapter 7 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in Atlanta on Nov. 15. Under Chapter 7, the court appoints a trustee to operate the company. If the company can not resolve its problems with creditors, the trustee will oversee the liquidation of the company`s assets.



The products and services acquired by GeoAccess include Sweetwater`s PrimeSource and PrimeSourceWeb physician credentialing services, RapidStatus, and appSTAT, which it claimed to be the first Internet solution to simplify the credentialing application process.



Also included are SweetQ and LUCI, software solutions that enable health care organizations and hospitals to automate provider data management functions, and My Physician Selector, an Internet-based consumer reference tool.



Back from the dead



Sandy Shroyer, vice president and general manager of Sweetwater, said the company was founded in 1991 and acquired by CareData.com in 1998. Before CareData.com filed for bankruptcy, the company employed about 50 people. The company shut its doors with the filing, and all employees were terminated.



Shroyer said the acquisition by GeoAccess prompted the company to rehire six of its executives, and the firm intends to hire more.



"We`re actively working on retaining key staff," Shroyer said. "However, we`ve been shut down for two weeks and it`s a lot of work to start up again. We`re like a phoenix raising from the ashes."



Paul Weaver, business developer leader for GeoAccess, said he expects Sweetwater to be "in full operation next week."



New acquisition saddled with debts



In its bankruptcy filing, CareData.com and its nine subsidiaries, including Sweetwater, claimed to have about 4,000 creditors, according to a legal assistant to the trustee in Atlanta. CareData.com`s petition said the company and its subsidiaries had debts of between $10 million and $50 million. Sweetwater was listed as having assets and debts of between $1 and $10 million.



The filing came despite a July 6 announcement that Fusion Capital Fund II LLC, a Chicago-based investment fund, agreed to provide CareData.com with up to $24 million in equity financing.



According to documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Caredata.com`s expenses mounted while revenues shrank. Revenue for the nine-month period ended Sept. 30 was $19.7 million, a decrease of $7.4 million, or 27 percent, over the same period in the prior year.



Firm took stock in lieu of cash



One reason revenue shrank was CareData.com`s acquisitions of other companies, according to a recent SEC filing. In addition, the company began accepting consideration other than cold, hard cash for services rendered.



"From time to time, (CareData.com) agreed to accept equity securities from its customers in lieu of cash as payment for products and services purchased by such customers," the company stated. "These arrangements typically involved high risk, start-up companies whose equity securities have no trading market and, therefore, no liquidity."



On Oct. 31, Nasdaq delisted CareData.com. At the time, it had a stock price of 1 cent, falling from a 52-week high of $13.38.



GeoAccess was founded in 1990 by Stu Bauman and Tom Lauerman in Overland Park. Prior to the acquisition, the company employed 240 people.



Among GeoAccess`s 800 clients are managed care organizations, large employers, hospitals, benefits consulting firms, regulatory agencies, government health care agencies, and e-health companies.



In addition to processing approximately 500 million online requests for physician information per year, GeoAccess says it collects and processes more than 30 million provider records each month, from hundreds of managed care organizations, to support its online provider database.

J.D. Power and Associates Announces: Formation of New Health

Care Division; CareData Brings the Voice of the Customer to the Health Care Industry

Business Editors & Health/Medical Writers

AGOURA HILLS, Calif.--(BW HealthWire)--April 25, 2001--Blending the experience of health care market analysts and research consultants, J.D. Power and Associates today announced the formation of a new health care division.

It will provide the health care industry with relevant and actionable information and services for managed health care plans, pharmaceutical companies, medical providers, hospitals and integrated delivery networks, employers and consumers.

The new division, with offices in White Plains, N.Y. and Scottsdale, Ariz., was formed through the acquisition of CareData Reports, a division of CareData.com Inc. providing syndicated and custom health care-related studies. These studies are based on actual customer experiences with health care products and services.

The division will also provide strategic consultation, training and implementation services by leveraging the experience of existing J.D. Power and Associates resources and through other strategic alliances. The division will conduct business as CareData, the Health Care Division of J.D. Power and Associates.

"We have been carefully working for several years to bring voice-of-the-customer information to decision-makers in the health care industry," said Steve Goodall, president and chief operating officer at J.D. Power and Associates. "With CareData Reports and our extensive experience conducting customer satisfaction research, we are anchoring our position as a well-respected third-party, independent evaluator of health care products and services."

The new CareData division will be led by Steven D. Wood, Ph.D., a researcher and consultant in the health care industry for more than 20 years. Dr. Wood has been recognized for his work in creating customer retention and loyalty strategies for health care organizations. Dr. Wood earned his BS and MA degrees in business from San Diego State University and a Ph.D. in quantitative business analysis from the University of Wisconsin, Madison.

Other executive members of the CareData division team are David Stefan, director of operations and development, and Anthony Morgan, executive director of research. Stefan has worked for more than 15 years with hospitals, managed-care and pharmaceutical organizations in conducting customer research and developing customer satisfaction and retention strategies.

Morgan has more than 30 years of senior-level market research design and management and will continue his role of developing and managing the division`s research products as he did for the former CareData Reports.

CareData`s products include historical and trend information on health care customer satisfaction, pharmacy benefits, disease management and prevention, hospitals and medical group practices, dental and vision care. Issue-specific customer surveys for pharmaceutical companies, medical vendors, health plans, hospitals, physician groups, health-oriented professional associations and employers are also conducted.

CareData studies provide the most comprehensive and insightful information available about health plan performance. With findings on more than 150 issues ranging from plan selection to disease prevention, CareData reports are used by employers, purchasing coalitions, consultants, consumers and healthcare product manufacturers. CareData analyses provide extensive customer information about the service and product aspects of the treatment for more than 20 medical conditions.

The reports also help identify health plan strengths and weaknesses, provide insights as to what attracts members to a plan and improve member satisfaction and retention by understanding what drives consumer perceptions and decisions. Many employers use the CareData surveys to obtain their employees` input in making decisions about health plans and benefits.

With headquarters in Agoura Hills, J.D. Power and Associates is a global marketing information services firm operating in key business sectors including market research, forecasting, consulting, training and customer satisfaction. The firm`s quality and satisfaction measurements are based on actual responses from millions of consumers annually. J.D.
