Evolution In The Doctor's Office - As I See It - Part 3 of 3

NOW…STILL without EMR

WHAT’S DIFFERENT?

ELECTRONIC AUTOMATION

The DOCTOR gets up tomorrow and does the same things all over again

Things are evolving...for the Office / Administrative / A/R staff

-HOWEVER-

It STILL looks pretty much the same for the DOC’S

· Electronic scheduling automatically tied to eligibility verification at time of visit

· Electronic claims processing

· Coding Assistance Software

· Electronic denial notification within 24 to 48 hours

· Electronic resubmission of denied claims

· Electronic submission of secondary payer claims/crossover claims

· Electronic receipt and ability to post Electronic Remittances (ERA, ERN)

· EFT (Electronic Funds Transfer) capabilities

· PMS Reporting – More efficient handling of A/R

STILL the same for the DOC’S
