CCH Acquires MEDICARE, MEDICAID Product Line From BNA
(RIVERWOODS, ILL. January, 10, 2002) CCH INCORPORATED (CCH), a leading
provider of business and healthcare law information, services and compliance training said
today that it had acquired the assets of the BNA Medicare/Medicaid Program Library
from the Bureau of National Affairs, Washington, D.C. Terms of the agreement were not
disclosed.
CCH (health.cch.com) is the countrys most trusted commercial source of print and
electronic Medicare, Medicaid and healthcare related legal information for attorneys,
healthcare providers, corporations and government agencies. Its highly regarded flagship
product CCH Medicare and Medicaid Guide has provided timely, in-depth tracking,
reporting, explanation and analysis of Medicare and Medicaid law to professionals since
the inception of the government programs in 1966.
CCH and BNA have implemented a transition program that will aid subscribers of the BNA
Medicare/Medicaid Program Library in moving to the CCH Medicare and Medicaid Guide
on the CCH Internet Research NetWork or on CCH CD-ROM. CCH will begin fulfilling Program
Library updates with the CCH Medicare and Medicaid Guide in February, 2002.
"Were happy to welcome this new group of health and legal professionals to
CCH," said Cathy Wolfe, publisher, CCH Health and Human Resources. "CCH is fully
committed to providing them with the most authoritative entitlement and health law
research and compliance materials available. I think theyll be pleased with the
breadth and depth of coverage CCH Medicare and Medicaid Guide provides and will
find that recent enhancements to the product provide even greater value and ease of
use."
"BNA carefully reviewed its options for the BNA Medicare/Medicaid Program
Library and its subscribers," said Gregory McCaffery, Publisher and
Editor-in-Chief, Bureau of National Affairs. "CCH has a strong reputation for topical
expertise and analysis in healthcare, especially in the complex areas of Medicare and
Medicaid law. We felt our customers would especially appreciate the timely and
comprehensive coverage of the CCH Medicare and Medicaid Guide, combined with
CCHs excellent customer service."
In support of the customers transition to the CCH Guide, CCH will provide
former BNA subscribers with product orientation, productivity tips and other training
services through in-office demonstrations or via telephone. Those seeking customer service
account administration or product support for their subscriptions can contact CCH Customer
