Web Based Medical Billing

Why web based? Applied properly, the benefits are staggering. Some studies estimate converting to medical billing software can save 75% in total costs. Web based software has even more benefits.

For years, healthcare organizations have been putting up with software that takes forever to install, crashes servers, is a pain to upgrade and requires of expensive hardware. Then there's the challenge of synchronizing data between medical offices, not to mention the day-to-day maintenance and support, without a technician on-site. Those hidden costs add up in a hurry.

Recently, the Web-based software model has become more widely accepted, especially in the medical field. Leaders like Salesforce.com and Oracle have successfully challenged the installed software products and taken the Application Service Provider (ASP) model from the market fringes to the mainstream.

So why are businesses now moving to web based ASP software in droves?

Dramatically reduced install & maintenance costs

For starters, the license price of buying traditional software is just the tip of the iceberg. All the ongoing costs of hardware, IT management, and support add up to far more than the initial cost. That's where web-based software starts to make sense.

A Web based medical billing system like AdvancedMD doesn't require a server in the office. In fact, you don't install anything. You just log in through Internet Explorer and a full-featured application comes up for your use.

That also means you don't have to take care of the software or your data. We back it up continuously 24x7x365 and install updates (often weekly) and major upgrades as we go along. All you have to do is wake up, log in, and you're using the latest version, with the latest features.

Forget about crashes or down time — our system's average uptime over the most recent quarter was 99.98%. That's because we have a superb IT staff and a Tier 1 data center facility with redundant everything.

You get the benefits without having to pay for all the hardware and staff yourself.

Access anytime, anywhere

Another reason people like AdvancedMD is the Web-based model enables easy access to updated information anywhere there's Internet access — home, another office or on the road.

It also means that multiple locations can work on the same real-time data all day, every day. There's never a need to merge, synchronize or duplicate. Reports are always up-to-the-minute, no matter where you are.

You'll save time, connection and data management costs and be more efficient as an organization.

Do you want security? We'll give you security

HIPAA security rules call for stringently protecting data from unauthorized access. One of the biggest risks is physical access within the office.

Outsourcing the data hosting to AdvancedMD means your data resides behind ultra-tight, state of the art security. Your patient data is behind an enterprise-class firewall to prevent unauthorized electronic access as well. Besides all that, when you access the system, data passes back and forth under the highest encryption available in your browser — the same security used by banks for online transactions.

All that means you can rest more easily with your security obligations. AdvancedMD has got it covered for you.

Nothing's worse than a support tech saying, “Well, we can't see what's wrong. Can you send us your data?” With AdvancedMD's Web based medical billing system, our techs can log right in and see exactly what you're seeing. We can even troubleshoot your patient database if required. That means faster problem resolution and less hassle on your side.
