PASO - Watching For A Move Out Of Its Current Trading Range


Patient Access Solutions, Inc.

PASO is trading right at its all-time lows and closed Friday at $.0005 a share. The company has put out some news recently, one of which was the securing of $5 million in financing. Considering the company has, per OtcMarkets, a market cap of under $800k this financing shows that the company could be considered undervalued.

PASO's business description on OTC Markets is as follows:

We are a Healthcare Solutions company with its sights set on shaking up the healthcare information technology industry. The "business of medicine" has overwhelmed the "practice of medicine". Paying little respect to tradition in a business rooted in tradition, PASHealth has created a formidable array of technology, resources and allies to enable it to become an agent of radical change in what has traditionally been a slowly evolving healthcare environment

At the start of the year PASO traded as high as $.024 and has fallen steadily since then to a recent low of $.0004, without much of a rally in between. As a stock falls in price the likelihood of a bounce increases, the further the fall the more likely a bounce. After a long decline in price a stock is apt to react sharply in the other direction. I think that is what will happen to PASO in the short term.

For one the stock has been chopping around the last few sessions and holding up well at the support near its lows of $.0005. The stock is contained by the $.0009 resistance on the chart. These two numbers, in my view, are key if PASO is to rally, or continue falling. A sustained break below $.0005 would spell trouble for a short term bounce and could mean the stock is heading to $.0002/$.0003. However a break of resistance at $.0009 could send the bulls charging with at least the $.0013 50DMA in their sights. Either way the next week or two for PASO should be telling.

The 200DMA is at $.0051 showing just how far PASO has fallen. The latest share structure on OTC Markets is as follows and I have highlighted the market cap:

Market Value1 $779,594 a/o Sep 16, 2011
Shares Outstanding 1,559,188,926 a/o Jul 31, 2011
Float 696,388,601 a/o Jul 31, 2011
Authorized Shares 2,250,000,000 a/o Jul 31, 2011

I think this stock is one to watch going forward. With the stock holding up well near its all-time lows their is a good risk/reward opportunity. It's pretty simple...would you rather be looking into PASO at $.024 or near its all-time lows? While a rebound is never 100% certain, I think PASO has a very good chance in the near term.

Patient Access Solutions Inc. EMR Strategy Extends to Southern Florida Hospital Based Physicians

Implementation Will Generate $3 Million in Revenue

HAUPPAUGE, N.Y., Sep 08, 2011 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Patient Access Solutions, Inc. (Pink Sheets: PASO), a leading provider of information technology solutions for the healthcare industry is pleased to announce its EMR management & support solution has been engaged and is being deployed with a Florida based hospital group.

The client is the largest faith based, non profit health care organization in Florida to participate in the EHR (Electronic Health Record) program and has a long standing pedigree as a national leader in the adoption of healthcare IT across its network of 6 hospitals comprising of more than 1,500 beds. This engagement serves as part of its continuing commitment to enable excellent quality care and services, will assist its more than 2,000 physicians in the adoption of Electronic Health Records in their private practices through an EHR Donation Program. The initial implementation expects to generate approximately $3 million in gross revenue over the next year for Patient Access Solutions.

The EHR will be made available to qualified client affiliated physicians in a program that will subsidize the cost of up to 85% of implementing and operating the product. The subsidizing over the next three years will be a substantial investment; however, a fully connected client health system would provide immediate returns with just greater efficiencies in the delivery of care alone. The program may also help client affiliated physicians satisfy the government's requirements for achieving 'meaningful use' by implementing EHR's in their practices, which may enable those physicians to qualify for additional incentive dollars over the next 5 years based on their collection and reporting of quality data, and ultimately improving the quality of care and improved patient outcomes

Bruce Weitzberg, President of Patient Access Solutions stated, "The partnership will deliver affordable health information technology solutions to participants while providing financial benefits to support the adoption of Electronic Health Records. Additionally, the added value proposition offered by the combined services will lower administrative costs, expedite reimbursement, and increase cash flow for healthcare provider office. The agreement is a significant milestone for Patient Access Solutions; client affiliated healthcare practices are expected to generate revenue of approxiamtely $3 million over the next year with additional annual recurring revenues expected."
