You may have heard that experts recommend moving to
Web-based medical office software for lower cost,
better reliability, and increased profitability.
Web-based medical office software means that
the entire solution is accessed and operated over
the Internet.
The reason experts predict this evolution to
the Internet is because it is a much better value.
An individual user is able to get better
service, a higher quality product at a lower cost
than if the person was to “go it” alone.
The idea of a web-based solution could be compared
to the dish or cable TV industry to put this
technology into perspective.
It would be cost prohibitive for every home
to pay for a satellite in space and all the
necessary equipment.
To watch TV we don’t have to individually pay
for all the production costs of developing a
television program or major broadcast event.
Most of us don’t care about the technology
and what it takes to get the signal into our home.
We just want to be able to sit down and know
that it works.
But in addition to that, someone else takes
care of the details of getting and supporting the
signal into your home.
Because many homes come together to pay for
the service and infrastructure, the cost becomes
reasonable when shared with other subscribers.
The practice management and billing Internet
model is based on this concept.

Medical Scheduling Software Without The
Server
The PracticeForces Scheduler is one of
the best patient scheduling software systems
on the market, and a favorite of our clients
for several reasons. Here's what they love
about it:
Colorful, Intuitive Design
The Scheduler's color-coded layout is
easy to learn and efficient to use on a
daily basis. Search and navigate
effortlessly with the click of a
mouse—finding what you need instantly.
Simple Setup
It's easy to set up multiple physicians,
locations, block times, appointment types
and other preferences to get your
appointment book just the way you like it.
You can even handle scheduling a provider
across multiple locations.
No Need to Jump Screens
The Scheduler offers tight integration
with additional patient details including:
- Alert memos for outstanding balances
- Co-payment amounts & checkout
- Referral information
- Potential duplicate appointment
information
You also get a complete set of recall
tools based on appointment type.
eEligibility: Know The Coverage
Before The Appointment
Personalize your system to automatically check a
patients’ eligibility before the appointment. This
reduces rejected claims, saves staff time, and
improves patient relationships.
Improve Monthly Cash Flow & Reduce Claim
Rejections
- Automated batch checking for upcoming
appointments (0-5 days in advance)
- Monthly verification for Medicaid carriers,
annual for all others
- Lets you check patient eligibility
information on demand
- View eligibility status on the Appointment
Confirmation screen, the Patient Insurance tab,
and the Confirmation Summary report. A patient
memo is also created for each patient when
coverage is invalid.
Increase Efficiency & Accuracy
Customized online charge slips (superbills)
allow providers to utilize a "point-and-click"
screen that has the appearance of the paper charge
slip. Online charge slips can be used on any office
computer, PocketPC or tablet PC to reduce costly
errors and reduces data entry time. There's also a
Quick Charge Entry screen for "heads-down" rapid
charge entry when required.
Visit Tracking
One of PracticeForces's®
most powerful medical billing features is the unique
visit tracking number assigned to each appointment.
This number follows the patient though the entire
transaction. It's included on the insurance claim
form and returned on the EOB, making payment posting
and tracking a breeze—no more hunting for
dates-of-service.
Review Charges for Errors
If desired, PracticeForces's®
charge review function allows newly posted charges
to be queued and reviewed by a medical biller prior
to posting.
Instant Checkout
All charge data entered is
instantly updated to the front desk, so when the
patient checks out, the patient portion is already
calculated and the return visit information is
available. Now that's efficient!
Dramatically reduce claim rejections! With Claim
inspector for handling coding Challenges!
Most claims services perform just
enough entry-level edits to meet the minimum
requirements for passing claims onto
payers—resulting in a high number of denied claims.
That costs you money not only in delayed
reimbursement, but in staff time spent “working”
denied claims.
But, if you error-check your claims prior to
submission with PracticeForces Claim Inspector TM
you can instantly reduce your rejections to under
5%.
Now you can pre-check your claims with
PracticeForces Claim Inspector, one of the most
powerful HIPAA-compliant claims editors on the
market. Many so-called “claim scrubbers” perform
general, national-level edits, including generic CCI
edits and HIPAA validation. That helps, but doesn’t
come close to the complete, payer-specific error
checking you get with PracticeForces.
Most complete error-checking available
PracticeForces’ billing system automatically checks
for initial claim elements and validation. Then
charges can be automatically error-checked through
the Claim Inspector editor, where you’ll see all the
claims with potential rejection errors – and
information that will help you correct them before
they are submitted. Editing features include:
Procedure coding to check for compliance with CCI
policies, gender and age restrictions, and medical
necessity using CPT/ICD9 crosswalk data.
Diagnosis coding using valid primary diagnoses,
proper levels of specificity, and the inclusion and
ordering of any required accompanying diagnoses.
Date validation to ensure dates are consistent and
logical.
HIPAA validation, including HIPAA-specific required
elements and codes, situation fields, and more
Payer-specific rules editing, including LMRPs, for
all government and commercial payers
