Pittsburgh, PA (November 1, 2006) – Acclamation Systems, Inc. (ASI) announced today that Michigan-based Weyco, Inc. has chosen the LuminX claims platform to help it efficiently administer its self-funded medical, dental, vision and disability business.

Meritain Health is one of the country's largest independent providers of services for self-funded health plans, serving over 500 self-funded clients nationally, with nearly 500,000 members in more than 30 major industries.
“Both Weyco and our parent company, Meritain Health, are leaders in health plan management services, particularly in the areas of consumer-driven health and wellness,” said Gary Climes, VP and General Manager of Weyco's Michigan Region. “We believe LuminX's comprehensive functionality will help us grow our business in these new arenas while efficiently managing our traditional claims processing and payment services.”
