Nitin Chhoda Releases New Information on the One-Touch Capabilities of EMRs to Increase Clinic Cash Flows
Denville, NJ (PRWEB) October 03, 2013 -- “EMRs can almost completely eliminate errors and mistakes associated with physical therapy coding and billing. Reimbursement claims can be submitted in real time and it can all be accomplished with a simple push of a button. Any time a claim is submitted, there are multiple opportunities for an audit, denial, rejection or request for more information,” said Chhoda.
He added that the first step toward push button claims submission and insurance verification begins with implementation of a web-based, tablet-compatible EMR system. A tablet provides portability, allowing practitioners to prepare records and claims on the go, to be submitted immediately or as a batch at the end of the day.
The management software has the ability to recognize errors and mistakes that can delay payment, result in a rejection, or trigger a potential red flag by payers. EMR functionality enables clinicians to submit claims to private insurance companies, workers’ compensation and military insurers, along with Medicaid and Medicare.
According to Chhoda, reimbursement claims are submitted in real time for faster turnaround times and can be sent from any location equipped with an Internet connection. EMRs can easily handle the upcoming change to ICD-10 coding, along with a compound diagnosis and multiple treatments. All those functions can be accomplished in moments with a tap of a finger.
Chhoda noted that clinicians are seeing an increasing number of patients who have lost their insurance, but still try to obtain treatment with defunct insurance information. With the help of EMRs, clinicians will have the ability to capture insurance data for verification long before a client arrives for their appointment, allowing practitioners to validate coverage, funding caps and treatment limitations with a touch of a button.
The technology available with a physical therapy EMR provides therapists with modern tools to submit reimbursement claims and verify insurance coverage with one-touch functionality. Chhoda’s new information offers clinicians an overview of the benefits and advantages available with the systems to reduce denials and rejections, thereby creating a greater cash flow for clinics of any size.
