Medical billing technology is always changing, and usually much quicker than one expects. While your current processes may be working for you, there just may be something better available to reduce staff time and increase your revenues. The thing is, technology has made huge strides in the medical billing industry in recent years, offering a number of ways to send and receive data faster, while still protecting sensitive patient information.

So, over the next several posts, we will explore different features technology can offer to increase your efficiency as well as your bottom line. We will consider how your Electronic Medical Record (EMR) can communicate with your Practice Management (billing) software, the key features to look for in your Practice Management software, and how it can communicate with other programs, such as Clearinghouses and statement vendors.

 

This Medical Billing Technology Series will include:

    • Validation vs. Scrubbing
    • Rejection vs. Denial
    • Integrating With an EMR
    • Integrating With a Clearinghouse
    • Basics of ANSI/EDI Reports
    • Patient Collection Policy/Credit Card Processing
    • Using Templates
    • Is Integrated Eligibility Worth It?
    • Statement Options
    • Selecting a Practice Management System (Ease of Use/Access; Training; and Support)

 

Now, not every office will benefit from the same “bells and whistles,” and there are so many options out there. It can be overwhelming.  Chances are though, your office could benefit from considering some updates, and some may not even cost you at all!

EZClaim suggests that you take a fresh look at the workflows and processes that you have in place today, and start thinking about the tasks that are wasting time or that are causing delays in collecting payments (from both patients and insurance). These insights just may help you create a positive change to your workflow and your revenues!
