Chhoda Said EMRs Simplify the Reimbursement and Collection Process
Denville, NJ (PRWEB) October 07, 2013 -- “Today’s integrated EMRs include comprehensive tools for coding, billing and collecting reimbursements,” said Chhoda. “EMRs allow practitioners to provide an enhanced level of care for patients, while simplifying the collection process for clinicians.”
Chhoda noted that practice owners should be aware that web-based systems are compatible with an extensive number of tablets, and the vendor is responsible for maintaining security safeguards and HIPAA compliance. On-site servers require the purchase of expensive hardware and the onus is on the practice owner for security and compliance.
Portability is a key ingredient in today’s mobile world and a tablet-implemented EMR simplifies billing, coding and treatment from multiple locations. Therapists can extend a variety of services into new venues for additional revenues. Senior facilities and in-home services are increasing in popularity and therapists can take advantage of those roving options.
With an increasing emphasis on healthy lifestyles and addressing stress, a portable EMR provides the means to expand services into spas and corporate wellness programs. Billing and coding with an EMR can be accomplished with the touch of a button. Therapists can bill individually or send reimbursement requests as a batch to save time.
EMRs have built-in capabilities that can flag reimbursement requests with the potential to generate denials or contestations. Chhoda said an integrated EMR can virtually eliminate the number of rejected or questioned billing requests.
He added that collecting insurance co-pays and debts from self-pay patients is a time consuming process, but a physical therapy EMR provides clients with the ability to make convenient one-time and recurring payments from credit, debit or bank accounts. It’s a quick, simple and secure means of collecting revenues online.
Chhoda has extensive experience with EMRs and his new information provides therapists with sound methods of utilizing the systems to simplify the healthcare reimbursement process from insurers and self-pay patients. EMRs offer clients convenience. They save time, money and effort on the part of clinicians, allowing them to work smart, not hard.
