National Electronic Attachment, Inc. (NEA) announced today that they have signed an Agreement with Life Like, Inc, of Kennesaw, GA. The agreement will allow Life Like Dental Laboratory, Inc. to accept dental attachments for use in their dental lab. The attachments, such as patient photographs and prescriptions, will be transmitted to NEA’s web site from dental providers, using NEA’s FastAttach™ system. FastAttach™ enables healthcare offices to transmit dental attachments (x-rays, intra-oral pictures, narratives, and photos), via the Internet, to NEA’s repository where Life Like is able to view them in support of the orders for crown and bridge, implants, and dentures. For provider offices, FastAttach™ accelerates lab processing and eliminates the need and cost to duplicate and mail x-rays and other necessary attachments.
“We are very excited about offering this new technology to providers, especially to our participating dentists across the country. This is another way Life Like is working to reduce administrative complexity and costs for our clients,” said, Kevin Kuykendall, Marketing Director, Life Like Dental Laboratory, Inc. “This is a “win-win’ enhancement for both Life Like and our providers. We anticipate this arrangement will increase Life Like’s attachment volume and increase communication. The providers benefit through streamlined submission processing using this detailed single source transmission portal. “
“We are very glad that Life Like chose NEA as their vendor for electronic attachments and we look forward to the opportunity to register their providers,” stated Thomas Hughes, CEO of NEA.
Life Like is a full service laboratory and has served dentists throughout the United States for more than forty years.
