X12 Announces Partnership with PilotFish to Benefit X12 EDI Users Across

Healthcare

Hartford, CT, February 24, 2018 --(PR.com)-- X12, the longstanding standards body that develops and
maintains EDI and related standards, announced today that it has entered into a partnership agreement
with Applied PilotFish Healthcare Integration (APHI) to license and redistribute artifacts of the X12
standard as a component of PilotFish's eiConsole for X12 bundle. PilotFish is one of a select group of
partners working alongside X12 under its new licensing program. PilotFish recognizes the critical role
than X12 plays in supporting electronic data exchange (EDI) in healthcare and throughout the economy
and is proud to work alongside the organization to advocate for the ongoing evolution and
implementation of the standards.

X12 is an ANSI-accredited, consensus-based, non-profit organization focusing on the development,

implementation and ongoing use of interoperable electronic data interchange standards. In healthcare and
insurance, X12's standards are not only vitally important to effective communication between trading
partners, but also required per HIPAA regulations that mandate their use for several administrative
business processes such as Health Care Claims and Payments.

Across supply chain, insurance, transportation and finance - X12 standards are ubiquitous. X12 has
formed partnerships with PilotFish and other software and solution providers to ensure that these
mission-critical standards are not only sustainably maintained, but that they also evolve to meet the
ever-changing needs of modern business.

“At X12, we understand that the definition and maintenance of standards is only half the story. Even with
mature and robust standards, X12 relies on an ecosystem of solution providers who facilitate the
successful implementation of X12 transaction exchanges. PilotFish has a long history of promoting the
adoption of standards and facilitating their effective use. This partnership better aligns our organizations
and bolsters our respective abilities to deliver on our already complementary missions,” stated Cathy
Sheppard, X12's Executive Director. “We at X12 are excited about the opportunities this partnership
opens up for both organizations.”

With the announcement of this partnership, PilotFish has also announced the upcoming availability of the
eiConsole for X12 Bundle. This new offering is a marriage of PilotFish's best-of-breed data
transformation and mapping components with X12 standards artifacts, resulting in seamless and efficient
parsing, mapping, validation and/or production of any X12 standards message.

“PilotFish is an expert in healthcare integration, a trusted adviser and innovation leader. This strategic
technology partnership with X12 and our eiConsole for X12 bundle will allow us to deliver a
high-quality, platform-independent and easy-to-use middleware solution that will support X12's untold
number of users and uses,” said Monika Vainius, Executive Vice President, APHI.

The X12 and PilotFish HIT partnership brings immediate benefits to X12 EDI users across healthcare
starting with more efficient processes resulting in lower operational and maintenance costs. PilotFish's
