Worried about decreasing insurance reimbursements?

Using the latest version of either TotalMD or Medisoft Version 15 along with proper training and updated references (such as Encoder Pro which is available with both TotalMD and Medisoft Version 15) are parts of the total solution to the problems of decreasing insurance reimbursements. 

The ROI (Return of Investment) of upgrading, especially with the current Free Training Offers mentioned below, is a much better bet than the current stock market.  On average, a provider loses 14% of their insurance reimbursements to the resubmission of claim rejections.  That amounts to $25 or more for each rejected claim*.  It costs an average of $1,000.00 or more for every 40 claims that get rejected by the insurance carriers; can you afford that during these economic times?  Order your upgrade today and start making more money.

You need to register your NPI (National Provider ID) with Each and Every Insurance Carrier.

If you don’t yet have your NPI, the link to apply is http://nppes.cms.hhs.gov/NPPES/Welcome.do.  An NPI is needed for each practice/group, and facility.  If you are part of a group, then you will also need a group NPI.

There is now a national lookup for NPI numbers!  The link is https://nppes.cms.hhs.gov/NPPES/NPIRegistryHome.do. 

Now you can charge for Medicare NO SHOWS!  As long as you have implemented a policy across the board to cover patients from all insurances, you can now charge a Medicare beneficiary for a missed appointment. This means no discriminating against Medicare patients, you must charge everyone for a no show if you are going to charge Medicare beneficiaries.  Taken from the Medicare Claims Processing Manual, Chapter 1, Section 30.3.13 which went into effect October 1, 2007.

Worried about Data loss or system crash?

Be sure your data is backed up!  ASI has teamed up with a low-cost on-line backup solution!  We can never stress the importance enough of making sure you have a complete backup each day.  You should also have multiple backup systems so in case one fails or doesn’t run, then you have a second backup should something go terribly wrong.  As a reminder, HIPAA regulations require daily backups to multiple backup devices (multiple flash drives or tapes, etc.) with the latest backup being taken off site (out of the office) should something happen at the office.  We have teamed up with SkaDoIt for special low-cost rates for on-line backups that are also HIPAA compliant: http://www.skadoit.com/ASI

Price: $69.95 a year     Description: Includes 25GB of compressed backup space.
