EHR Software Should Drive Revenue

Now that ICD10 has become the standard for rendering diagnosis codes for the U.S., clinics are now challenged to provide more detailed diagnosis to justify the services billed to 3rd party carriers. The idea of checking off a superbill / charge ticket to communicate with the front office for billing has remained the standard in healthcare for the past 30 years. With the sheer number of ICD10 diagnosis codes now available, healthcare providers must maximize efficiency by adopting EHR technology engineered to drive both the ICD10 and CPT codes directly from the EHR software to the Practice Management software.

Physicians that continue to check-off a superbill / charge ticket have the most exposure when it comes to 3rd party chart audits. Unless the information entered into the EHR is driving the charges directly into the PM software there is ample opportunity for physicians and staff to check-off services on paper forms that were not actually documented in the Electronic Health Record. If the services were not documented in the electronic health record then the services are deemed as “not provided” by the 3rd party carrier. To avoid these costly mistakes physicians must implement EHR technology that enables the user to document care “real time” in the exam room.

As the leading U.S. provider of high performance electronic health records solutions, MD Logic provides practice management software that is engineered to get our customers paid on time. The MD Logic PM software is completely integrated with the MD Logic EHR software. Healthcare providers have the choice of using their current practice management software or upgrading to the MD Logic PM software and achieving the greatest efficiency with our EHR/PM all-in-one software. For customers that decide to keep thier existing PM software, the MD Logic EHR software will electronically generate a charge ticket that includes the patients ICD10 and CPT codes for each visit. As an added bonus, MD Logic includes the previous ICD9 code along with the new ICD10 code on the MD Logic charge ticket.

With the MD Logic PM (Practice Management) software, the ICD10/CPT codes are automatically updated into the practice management software from the MD Logic EHR software for each patient visit. As the provider documents the clinical record (injection given, x-ray taken, brace fitted, lesion removal, endoscopy scope procedure complete, etc.), these CPT codes are automatically updated into the MD Logic PM software and ready for insurance / patient billing. No staff time wasted entering ICD10 and CPT codes from a paper charge ticket / superbill into the MD Logic practice management software. The MD Logic EHR/PM software ensures all services provided in the clinic are identified and billed while eliminating the chance of missed charges.
