Schedule Viewer, LLC Announces Release of Cloud-Based Version of MediRoutes

• 

(PRWEB) June 19, 2012

The MediRoutes application was recently updated, using Microsoft cloud-based software and smartphone technologies to offer optimal scheduling, booking, dispatch and billing services.

In late 2010, the existing MediRoutes application was completely rewritten using the latest Microsoft cloud-based software development technology and the Microsoft Windows 7 smartphone for complete field force automation. Using these state of the art tools resulted in the current version of MediRoutes and offers easy online call taking - trip booking through import of brokerage trips or direct entry of on demand trips. Recurring, also known as Calendar or Subscription trip, reservations are also supported.

The current version of MediRoutes offers optimized scheduling – taking into account the patient requirements (ambulatory, wheel chair or stretcher), the transport vehicle’s capacity, appointment time, drive time and funding source requirements or limitations.

MediRoutes provides real-time dispatching and sends the driver’s manifest to driver’s phones in a HIPPA compliant environment, with a real-time GPS location of each vehicle and driving time and distance to scheduled pickups and drop offs. Real-time updates to the drivers and the dispatchers show where the drivers are at all times, real-time GPS coordinates and time stamps of each pick up and drop off performed with signature capture of the passenger at the time of service.

MediRoutes offers automated billing and reporting, all delivered in a SaaS (Software as a Service) model – web/internet based application– no client/server applications to purchase and maintain.

“The market is full of upsides,” says MediRoutes Managing Partner, Myron Hammes. “With an aging population living within a limited budget, increasing energy costs and growing health concerns, an affordable alternative to getting transportation to see their health care providers or to just go shopping is needed. The number of NEMT providers is increasing daily.”

The MediRoutes application helps NEMT providers provide a quality experience to their clients at an affordable cost to their business. In addition to this, clients have mentioned the following:

1.    Using the MediRoutes application and security overlays assists clients in being HIPPA compliant by taking a paper driven business and converting it to a paperless environment, from point of service all the way through to billing.
2.    Using MediRoutes’ solutions can help prevent potential fraud. Providers can document the date and time of service by time & GPS location of all services at the point of care. And MediRoutes takes that documentation a step further by capturing the patient’s signature electronically right at the time of service. Medicare fraud and abuse is a problem everywhere and MediRoutes offers a solution to providers and payers.
3.    MediRoutes reduced one customer’s AR aging from over 45 days to less than 21 days through creating faster and better documented billing, using the application’s software. Instead of taking 30 days from the time of service using a paper system, clients are able to properly invoice the next day.
4.    Using MediRoutes has helped increased employee morale for both drivers and office workers by providing a more relaxed and in control, less stressful work environment.

About MediRoutes

MediRoutes’ 1st major client was Handi-Car, Inc. in Tucson, Arizona. Handi-Car provides over 1,100 trips a day to clients with various needs. Prior to implementing MediRoutes, Handi-Car was using paper and pencil and a push to talk radio. Each night, special dispatchers would work hours late into the evening trying to figure out the most cost effective routes for their clients the next day. They had to factor in the number of vehicles that would be on the road that day, what time the client’s appointment was, how much drive time they should allow for and any special considerations for the individual clients: was the client wheelchair or stretcher bound, have any specific medical needs, et cetra. Now they are nearly completely paperless and driver’s manifest are sent direct to their phones in real-time and documented with perform time and GPS locations and client signatures. Since automating with MediRoutes, both the drivers and the riders in the vehicles remark about how peaceful their rides are without all of the push to talk radio chatter.
