Lisle, IL (August 25, 2011) — Sequest, a leading business solutions and software provider for the health and human services industry, announced that Sequest’s TIER® Solution is compatible with the State of New York’s clinic regulations for Ambulatory Patient Groups(APG). The Office of Mental Health and Office of Alcohol and Substance Abuse have developed APG’s for Medicaid reimbursement to gain a more seamless billing process in New York State. The Sequest Enterprise-wide application TIER® has gone live in NY with this new functionality that adheres to required APG functionality with Part 599 of Title 14 NYCRR. 

“Sequest is a pleasure to work with-their staff are reliable and ALWAYS go above and beyond. Our Project Manager knew the pressure we were under and that if he did not get the APG billing implemented, the financial stability of the Recovery Net agencies would be in jeopardy. Over the past month he has continued to support us as we encounter billing issues. He is accessible and responds quickly to our needs (even when out of the office). We are so grateful that he was part of this implementation.”  - Mary Elizabeth Laduca, Huther-Doyle.
