The Advantages of using eClinicalWorks® Medical Billing

As a health care provider, your primary goal is to take care of your patients’ medical needs. Although you also must have an ace office staff to support your practice by scheduling appointments and attend to ancillary patient needs, billing is one task that is better by a system like eClinicalWorks® medical billing and performed by EMR Billing Solutions.

Outsourcing your billing tasks to EMR Billing Solutions has an entire list of advantages that will streamline your practice and make it run more smoothly. One of the biggest advantages of using our billing service is a higher and faster collection rate. Medical coding and billing is a tough business. With our services, you’ll achieve a higher collection rate than if you attempted to do the job on your own. You’ll also get your money sooner, in only 14 days in many instances.

Let’s face it, medical billing is a headache. ICD-10 has 140,000 different codes. The complexities of medical coding for insurance purposes grow daily. Because medical billing is all we do, we are on top of all of the industry changes. Our staff will monitor changes in healthcare laws and regulations and update our system as needed to provide you with the best possible service.

When your office performs its own medical coding and billing, you need a trainer specialist if you want to do the job properly. Additionally, you would need to invest a good amount of funds in equipment, fixtures and other necessities of an office. When you partner with us, there is no overhead or prohibitive upfront fee. This leaves more money in your pocket and improves your profits. In addition, you’ll also have office staff that is more relaxed and more attuned to the needs of your patients, which is your prime objective in the first place.

eClinicalWorks® Joins the Carequality Network

Recently eClinicalWorks® announced it has joined the Carequality framework. The conversion to Electronic Health Records (EHR) is decreasing costs, increasing efficiency and improving the quality of care. However, greater benefits can be seen by allowing health care systems that use different EHR systems to communicate. Carequality provides the needed framework for that interoperability and eClinicalWorks® is taking steps to ensure it is at the forefront of this collaboration.

A Pilot Program

eClinicalWorks® and Epic, two of the most widely used EHRs in the nation are piloting their connection in Minnesota through Entira Family Clinics, which uses eClinicalWorks®, and HealthEast Hospital, which uses Epic. Through the Carequality framework, data from both systems is accessed in real-time and added to the patient’s record. As a result, medical professionals at both facilities can see the latest activity, resulting in better patient care. “Many of our patients are also seen by doctors at HealthEast Hospital, which could have created challenges due to different systems. Instead, we have a seamless view into our patients’ care, regardless of where it occurred,” explained Dr. David Thorson of Entira Family Clinics. If the pilot is successful, the coordination of these two EHR companies will impact communication across more than 1,000 hospitals and 40,000 clinics. In total, over 70 organizations have joined the Carequality framework.

Dedicated to Enhancing Care

“Patients are seen in multiple settings that employ various systems. Our responsibility as vendors is to make this transition as seamless as possible,” explained Girish Navani, CEO and co-founder of eClinicalWorks®. Health care technology is a competitive environment. However, this collaboration shows the dedication of eClinicalWorks® to enhance patient care and provide doctors and organizations with the best tools possible. In fact, Dr. Thorson of Entira Family Clinics said interoperability was one of the main reasons his organization selected eClinicalWorks®.

Are you concerned about patients that see physicians at facilities that do not use eClinicalWorks®? Talk to the experts at EMR Billing Solutions to see if interoperability is possible. We’re dedicated to ensuring that you get the most out of eClinicalWorks®.

Update of Telemedicine and eClinicalWorks® Medical Billing for CMS

Is your practice considering adding telemedicine to your services? EMR Billing Solutions dedicates themselves to improving your practice’s patient and revenue goals through eClinicalWorks(R) medical billing, and telemedicine might be a viable path for some.

While telemedicine is not a distinct service, according to the Medicaid statute, there are now several more HCPCS codes, CPT codes, and modifiers for you to use. Individual states can choose to allow or disallow telemedicine, and can decide how, where, or with whom it is practiced, so check with your billing specialist for specifics.

According to Medicaid.gov’s Delivery Systems Content for Telemedicine, “For purposes of Medicaid, telemedicine seeks to improve a patient’s health by permitting two-way, real time interactive communication between the patient, and the physician or practitioner at the distant site. This electronic communication means the use of interactive telecommunications equipment that includes, at a minimum, audio and video equipment.” In every telemedical situation, there is an originating site (where the patient is during the consultation), and a distant site (the location of the licensed practitioner – physician, nurse practitioner, physician assistant, nurse midwife, etc.). Linkage of the two sites must occur during the consultation in a manner that allows the patient and the licensed practitioner to see and speak to each other without any delays.

The allowable telehealth codes, found on a Medicare Learning Network Health Fact Sheet for Telehealth Services, cover a fairly broad range of services. According to an American Telemedicine Association (ATA) article, Update on CMS Payment Decisions – Two Steps Forward, One Back, in 2015 the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare (CMS) added to telehealth coverage, beginning to “reimburse, as a telehealth service, seven new covered services for telehealth including annual wellness visits, psychotherapy services, and prolonged services in the office.” These new codes also include two that allow for collection, interpretation, and analysis of data. While the ATA wishes CMS had included more services, it is a step in the right direction, and advocates push for new additions yearly.

Billing for telemedicine can complicate the process, as payment might be split between the originating site and the distant site, but help is available with services such as EMR Billing Solutions’ Billing Service PLUS, which handles all patient-related billing inquiries. This leaves you free to focus on your patients.

As we head into a future with more and more consumer technology capable of monitoring health away from a Doctor’s office, it is good to know the insurance field is moving forward, as well.

What is eClinicalWorks®? A Pioneer in Electronic Healthworks

When Erin Griffin of the Fortune magazine did a cover story on eClinicalWorks® in 2014, many wondered, what is eClinicalWorks®?  

eClinicalWorks® is one of the first pioneers in the field of electronic health works. Electronic health care has revolutionized medicine.  It allows providers and patients electronic access to vital medical information. This innovation has improved the speed, quality, safety and cost of patient care. It has made the health system more efficient by allowing for fewer readmissions, decreasing medication errors, improving diagnoses, and decreasing duplicate testing.(http://www.healthit.gov/providers-professionals/)

It has also simplified the billing process for medical providers. Medical offices that operate eClinicalWorks®, can now use one billing system to handle all medical billing needs.  They no longer need to deal with confusing, multiple billing services.  The EMR Billing Solutions  is expert in eClinicalWorks® and services eClinicalWorks® users exclusively.  Specifically, EMR Billing Solutions:

  • handles all patient-related billing inquires.
  • offers an exclusive phone number to our staff for your patients only.
  • practices friendly customer care and follow up calls.
  • is based in the Unites States.
  • and is HIPPA compliant.

eClinicalWorks® is an innovative private company has 4,000 employees, more than 1,000 of which are in customer service.  CEO Girish Navani stated that he wanted customers to drive the growth of the company, “I think it actually builds a much deeper foundation when you don’t rely on a very large sales and marketing team to get your brand out.”

Navani started the business by selling some stock in a company where he had worked previously.  eClinicalWorks® now generates over $320 million in annual revenue, and anticipates a growth of 15-20% in 2015.  Navani said that he would never let the company go public because he didn’t want to see anyone else in control.

Homeland Security Uses eClinicalWorks® to Manage Care Across Its Facilities

eClinicalWorks® has become the proven technology of choice for physician practices across the nation. However, adding the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to its client list is showing just how flexible the cloud-based technology really is. The federal agency is now using eClinicalWorks® (eCW) across its system of 23 Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention facilities to provide integrated medical care.

Providing Full Integration

“eClinicalWorks® has been working with ICE to rapidly deploy this solution with features that are unique to this organization,” said Deanna Gephart, deputy assistant director of operations for ICE Health Services. In addition to electronic patient records, eCW is helping ICE achieve full integration, including laboratory, radiology and pharmacy data. ICE leadership also made their decision based on eCW’s ability to seamlessly integrate with their current systems. eCW will help the 23 detention facilities share information between 1,000 medical professionals.

Unique Needs

A federal detention facility has unique needs compared to that of a doctor’s office. The function of the ICE is to detain illegal aliens that have violated U.S. immigration law. While in custody, they receive medical, dental and mental health evaluations, and are treated accordingly. The collection and maintenance of that data is quite a daunting task. eCW is helping to streamline and improve health care, especially for providers that care for chronic patients within the ICE facilities. Processes such as screening process flows, electronic medication administration, preventive services schedules and infirmary management are unique functions of the ICE that eCW is providing solutions for.

eClinicalWorks® is a proven solution across the medical industry, from small doctor’s offices to large, multi-function government agencies. Regardless of your specialty, practice size or current technologies, EMR Billing Solutions is here to help your office achieve the benefits offered through eCW implementation.

Private Medical Practice and eClinicalWorks® Billing Solutions

Many private medical practices use eClinicalWorks® for Electronic Medical Records (EMR). As an EMR vendor, they provide award-winning products and services. Unfortunately, advances in technology tend to increase the amount of tasks that need to be accomplished in a day. The costs of hiring more staff and purchasing new equipment, to stay current, in the technology-based world we live in, become prohibitive to keeping prices competitive. To keep the average practice running smoothly and expenditures low, most offices will outsource as many services as possible. This tends to lead to a need for eClinicalWorks® billing solutions.

There are a multitude of companies that will maintain your billing services; however, many charge fees that include licensing, hosting, maintenance, and much more. Then, they will charge you extra fees for providing phone service, untangling of backlogged accounts receivable, and control of the flow of faxes through your office. Several of these companies don’t actually have the capacity to offer some of these services to you, regardless of extra fees. As with most technological services available, part of the over all expense is tied to a lengthy contract.

At EMR Billing Solutions, we understand that as a small business your revenue is what keeps everything going. As specialists in eClinicalWorks® medical billing needs, we can solve all of your billing needs, including answering your patient’s billing questions, and clearing all your old accounts receivable, for one low fee and no demanding contract.

With different plans available, EMR Billing Solutions can ensure that your patient’s questions are answered by fully qualified HIPAA certified staff, as well as invoices sent and followed up with on time. Our experts can also organize your faxes so that each is filed and routed to the correct provider for review, immediately reducing clerical hours, and increasing patient care. Your time and resources are precious. Let us help you grow your business with as much care as you provide your patients.
