Coventry’s bill review program – CORRECTION

In my post earlier this week that mentioned developments with Coventry’s bill review services, I incorrectly stated:
Reports are that Coventry will ‘own’ the bill review application source code and related assets as of October 1 2009; what they will do then appears to be up in the air.
Well, that’s not exactly incorrect, as Coventry will own the application after that date, but sources indicate they already own it.
The significance of the 10/1/2009 date is that It marks the day that EDS will no longer support the application. EDS has provided IT support for BR 4.0 and the previous iterations of the program for years; as of October 1 they no longer will.
Which leads rather quickly to the next question – who will?
My assumption is Coventry. However, as I’m all too familiar with what happens when you make assumptions, I’ve reached out to Coventry and asked them what their plans are.
I’m not sanguine about the chances of a response.
