Meaningful Use. Beyond U.S. Government incentive requirements, our EMR provides ongoing value in helping meet your clinical and professional goals. This key functionality includes: 

• Best practices EMR standards incorporated directly into clinical documentation templates
• Clinical decision support EMR tools designed to develop clinical measures as well as new ways for improving chronic and preventative care
• Automated E&M coding support, including links to billing
• Scheduled and on-demand reporting tools for tracking practice patterns, identifying at-risk patient populations and supporting disease management
• Clinical summaries for patients and referring and consulting providers for continuity of care delivery

ePrescribing. Our integrated system includes EMR workflow optimizers like patient demographics populated from the PM system and meds updated in the patient record.

Remote access. Our SaaS web-based platform provides access to patient clinical and demographic information from any Internet-connected computer.

Interoperable EMR. Tight integration with the Patient Portal, Practice Management and revenue cycle systems means charge and demographic data flow freely when and where it is needed. Eliminate paper with our system that easily communicates and exchange information between your office and other systems such as labs, imaging centers, pharmacies, immunization registries, public health departments, and Health Information Exchanges (HIEs). Faxes, couriers and duplicate data entry from one system to another are replaced with seamless electronic communication in our EMR.

Health Maintenance. This automated EMR function ensures that continuity-of-care protocols are followed. Our HealthWatcher™ system supports established care plans and protocols as well as customization on a variety of variables, such as by diagnosis or payer. Scheduling follow-ups, screenings, procedures, and creating orders in our EMR is simple.

Patient Portal. Establish patient records electronically in our EMR quickly and securely. Our secure online tools improve patient relations and save staff time by giving patients the ability to self-serve for many items. Activities include completing pre-exam questionnaires and histories, viewing test results, and sending and receiving message with medical personnel. Information from these activities flows directly into the patient record of the EMR prior to the medical visit.

Advanced Scheduling. Includes advanced functionality not found on many of today’s online systems. Advanced features include expandable column-based multiple provider/resource scheduling and color-coded appointments; simple-to-use wait listing and overbooking; and multiple office/mobile provider scheduling from one screen.

Online Insurance Eligibility Verification. Makes verification a quick (e.g. less than one minute), seamless part of the check-in process. Automated pre-verification based on future schedule is standard.

Co-payment/Patient Portion. Our system seamlessly pulls and presents this information to the staff from the revenue cycle system, significantly improving revenue capture.

Anytime/Anywhere Access. Our SaaS web-based platform gives providers and staff the ability to get to the schedule anytime from anywhere.

Advanced Reporting. Our system includes a broad range of standard reports, as well as a robust custom report building capability (e.g. through ODBC programming). Reports cover all crucial areas of your practice, from financial to staff productivity, claims and payer experience, diagnosis and procedure codes, and inventory.

Simple to Learn & Train. Our system is simple to use, intuitive and includes abundant online help and training resources, dramatically reducing retraining costs due to staff turnover, and costs from inexperienced user errors.

Comprehensive Workflow. The Medical Group Management Association’s (MGMA) best-selling book, The Physician Billing Process: 12 Potholes to Avoid in the Road to Getting Paid, 2nd Edition outlines the industry-standard best practices for medical billing. These twelve functions are supported in our billing system workflow.

“Organic” Claim Scrubbing. On average, 30% of first-time submittals are rejected by payers, largely for inaccuracies in how the claim was completed. Our system will reduce that to less than 5%. Our state-of-the-art claim scrubbing software is able to pick up errors prior to submission and suggest fixes so claims go in “clean.” This is facilitated through our web-based SaaS delivery model that quickly shares payer rule changes or processing improvements to every user on the system. This “organic” improvement model delivers the collective best practices discoveries instantly on an ongoing basis, ensuring that medical practices of any size keep pace with changing requirements of even the largest payers.

Centralized Claims Submittal. Your monthly subscription includes clearinghouse services fully integrated with the claims management system. While many practices utilize a clearinghouse for claims submittal, many find this avenue too expensive for Medicare, Medicaid and other specialized payers, and split these claims out of the main workflow. Because of large volumes and favorable contract terms, submittals can be handled profitably regardless of payer.

Secure Patient Communications Portal. HIPAA secure communication channel between the practice and its patients for such activities as: appointment requests, patient visit summaries and bill pay. Via the portal, patients access their clinical summary of care, lab results and pertinent health educational information.

Optimized Billing Services. AdvancedMD partners with a growing number of billing services providing optimized results on the AdvancedMD platform.
