MACRA and EHR: Obstacles to providing prompt and better patient care?

Posted on February 9, 2018 by iPatientCare — No Comments ↓

It seems, like ever-changing rules and regulations in the healthcare industry regarding quality-reporting programs like MACRA can be mind-blogging. Also trying to fill information in the EHR can sometimes be stressful if the physician is not completely familiar with the software. Most of the physicians are thinking that value-based reimbursement is a good thing for healthcare since then they are only spending money on the care that provides value. But many physicians disagree and suggest that this value-based reimbursement will not make any difference. Read more ›

Posted on February 2, 2018 by iPatientCare — No Comments ↓

MACRA is the biggest thing that has hit healthcare payment system. The healthcare reimbursements are migrating from volume to value-based, MACRA will most likely serve as the roadmap for other payers. Documenting and reporting every treatment through a certified EHR or other approved method is the only way physicians can get paid for the services. The law directs all the pediatricians to choose one of the two reimbursement paths – advanced alternative payment models (APMs) or the Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS).

Is having a top rated EHR important for a doctor’s office?

Posted on January 19, 2018 by iPatientCare — No Comments ↓

Before EHRs, access to medical charts required labor work. Every time a patient visited the office or hospital, their file was pulled out physically from a storage space, transported, delivered, stamped, and sorted all in one visit. As a result of this back and forth, there was a greater chance of human error and charts would sometimes have missing information or be out of order. It was unusual for five out of 15 charts for a clinic day to be unavailable at any given time, this resulted in a waste of time, space, and frequent defects to care. Paper records are more vulnerable to break in, losing it by the staff member or by a natural disaster such as fire or flood. Read more ›

Maximizing your Revenue while improving Claims Denials Management

Posted on December 29, 2017 by iPatientCare — No Comments ↓

The health care billing offices tend to wait until they receive rejections and denials, before resolving claim issues. This is an insufficient process, as it delays the payment cycle reducing the probability of payment. Managing the healthcare billing system is crucial as the providers should give billing staff access to claims management data and establish claims management policies. There is a need to set up policies and procedures to ensure that the team is carefully checking reimbursement requests before sending it to payors. Some path must be followed to track the claim denial rate and set increasingly challenging goals to improve the performance over time. Read more ›
