(Orlando, FL – Sep. 1, 2005) - XGear Technologies, Inc., a leading provider of Internet-based ASP practice management and medical billing software for the healthcare industry, announced today that it has processed its three millionth transaction. It took the company 3 years to process its millionth transaction in March 2004. Eleven months later the company processed its 2 millionth transaction in February 2005.

XGear is the maker of ClaimGear, one of the healthcare industry's leading medical billing and practice management software programs.

"More and more physicians and billing services are realizing how simple and inexpensive it can be to successfully manage their billing and accounts receivables."

In addition to processing their transactions, ClaimGear clients can also use the program to maintain patient records, manage appointments, manage documents, track payments and accounts receivables, and conduct other functions critical to managing a medical practice or billing service.

Kegler explained that the company's increasing growth is due in part to the enhancements and added features that the company has incorporated.
