New feature: Advanced EHR Day Sheets


iPad EHR Feature


We now have a more advanced day sheet. What is a day sheet? It is a report of procedures, payments and adjustments for insurance and patients. At the end of the day, a doctor and his staff can use this for accounting purposes.

Easily scan to find a procedure and the price with an elegant interface.

You can find them under the billing section, then select day sheets.

HIPAA 4010 to 5010 migration? Is your EHR Ready?

HIPAA 4010 to 5010 migration, is your EHR and practice management software ready?

The 5010 standards replace the existing 4010/4010A1 version of HIPAA transactions, which go back nearly a decade—an eternity in the tech world and address many of the shortcomings in the current version, including the fact that 4010 does not support ICD-10 coding.

Make sure that your EHR and practice management software has made the move to 5010.

As of this month the drchrono platform has been moved over to 5010, so when the medical industry is ready to move from ICD-9 to ICD-10 we are ready.

(The ICD-9 codes have ~16,000 diagnosis codes and ICD-10 has ~64,000 diagnosis codes.)

CMS will be forcing the US healthcare system to fully move over to ICD-10 October 2013.

The switch to ICD-10 and 5010 facilitates more accurate coding, billing, and reimbursement.

New feature: Fee Schedules and Balance Billing Controls


iPad EHR Feature


We now have fee schedules and balance billing controls for our medical billing customers. By balance billing controls we mean automatic posting of contractual obligations to patient balances.

Fee schedules can be accessed at the bottom of the billing center here if you are logged in.

Fee schedules allow different default prices for different payer id’s (determined by the primary insurance company of the patient for the appointment.)

Balance Billing can be adjusted here.

All users are doing balance billing by default right now. However, the most common setting for doctor’s is to NOT do balance billing if they accept insurance.

NOTE:
Balance billing True -> Patient’s are charged for Contractual Obligations
Balance Billing False -> Patient’s are not charged for contractual obligations, they get credits/adjustments when contractual obligations come back in ERA’s, EOB’s.
