Chhoda Recently Explained How EMRs Help Clinicians in Boosting Revenues
Denville, NJ (PRWEB) December 28, 2013 -- “The demand for proper coding and documentation for reimbursements is essential. EMRs enable therapists to submit claims in real time, reduce costs, and they’re environmentally friendly,” said Chhoda. “There are no paper records or need to wait for documentation to traverse the postal system. An EMR offers the most accurate coding available, reducing errors, denials and requests for additional information.”
Chhoda said medical billing errors or mistakes are the major causes of reimbursement rejections and denials, and both can be virtually eliminated with an EMR. They have the ability to handle the upcoming ICD-10 and CPT coding changes with supreme accuracy and efficiency, allowing therapists to provide innovative and complex treatments.
He added that EMRs facilitate and accelerate the reimbursement process. He said that the systems can reduce billing costs by up to 15 percent. Since claims are submitted online in real time with an EMR, payments can be made to clinics in a matter of hours. Medical billing and coding tasks can be accomplished in-house without the need for expensive outside agencies. Extensive and detailed documentation is included to expedite the reimbursement process.
Most of the EMR systems are compatible with an extensive number of insurers, including private insurance companies, Medicaid and Medicare, clearinghouses, and third-party payers, along with Workers’ Compensation and veterans using TRICARE. Funds can be deposited directly into a clinic’s account for a steady and stable cash flow. Practitioners have control when claims are sent and have the option of sending them individually or as a batch.
Chhoda noted that an EMR provides the means for practitioners to boost revenues through real time electronic claims submissions. His new insights provide clinicians with compelling reasons for implementing an EMR. The physical therapy software systems allow therapists to reduce audits, errors and denials that adversely impact a practice’s financial health and growth, while providing the means to deliver better treatments to patients.
