PM BILLING

Was developed for Medi-Comm of Texas as a product update to their existing character based medical billing application. This system is an advanced state-of-art web based billing system.

Web-based medical billing software is smarter, faster, and proven choice of physicians and health centre administrators. EMD Systems Billing applications are developed by industry experts who understand medical billing and the challenges of running a profitable practice in today’s economy. The recent changes in health care reimbursement means your medical practice cannot rely on antiquated billing methods and obsolete technology.

The Medical Group Management Association reported that the rejection rate of billing claims is 30%. Out of that only 50% are resubmitted. That leaves a lot of potential revenue left unclaimed.

The medical billing solutions developed by EMD Systems are designed to help you overcome high billing claim rejections. We focus on developing web-based medical billing software that includes special tools such as Claim Revenue so that you are assured only complete, up-to-date claims are submitted. The claims review process alerts you of potential errors prior to submission, resulting in a higher first-pass acceptance rate.

5010: EMD provides a single integrated healthcare and payments platform, our applications are ready to support the transition from ASC X12 Version 4010 to ASC X12 5010. Our objective is to minimize the impact during this transition period.

CPT Codes: The Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) code set is maintained by the American Medical Association through the CPT Editorial Panel.

The CPT code set describes medical, surgical, and diagnostic services and is designed to communicate uniform information about medical services and procedures among physicians, coders, patients, accreditation organizations, and payers for administrative, financial, and analytical purposes.

New editions are released each October by the AMA. The current version is the CPT 2012. CPT coding is similar to ICD-9 and ICD-10 coding, except that it identifies the ser rendered rather than the diagnosis on the claim.

	EMD supports both Level I and Level II codes
	Through the intelligence of the application, our software has the ability to create pseudo procedure names that can be mapped to a single CPT code or to a grouping of CPT codes. This allows for rapid order entry and helps ensure that secondary codes are not overlooked at order entry.
	The ICD 9/10 codes can be mapped to the CPT and insurance provider to facilitate exam appropriateness
	Electronic Insurance Verification: Electronic Insurance Verification helps to solve the problem of missing or invalid insurance information that can cost a practice time and money. By utilizing state of the art technology the application can automatically retrieve insurance and benefit information in just seconds. This process can also be manually triggered at any time. The results of the inquiry are automatically stored - no typing required. This provides an immediately recognizable productivity booster, EMD makes checking insurance eligibility so fast, there’s no reason not to do it for every patient. This information is posted in the application dashboard for all appropriate staff to see at a glance. This feature can be support via connections to Insurance clearing houses such as Emdeon or Availity. If clearing house is not feasible, connections to individual insurance carriers can be established.

Features Include:


	Accurate determination of patient co-pay and deductible
	Minimizes claim denials, reducing accounts receivable problems, and improving cash flow
	Easy to use, no additional learning curve, improvement in productivity
	Facilitates the patient enrollment process
	Real-time processing with immediate response within the application

The insurance benefits information returned will be stored as part of the patient record and an automatic notice that the eligibility checking has been done will be made on the patient's appointment record. Additionally, a print-out of the benefits information for the patient can be produced.

This feature is an integrated into the EMD products and is also available as an SKD

Fee Schedules: EMD knows that a practice has multiple fee schedules that are used on a daily basis. Our applications are built with this fact in mind. To facilitate that fact we include the following features in our applications:

	The ability to designate the default Technical, Professional, and Global fee for a charge item
	The ability to designate a "Contract" fee schedule based on the ordering physician
	The ability to designate a "Contract" fee based on the ordering physician group
	The ability to designate a "Contract" fee based on the insurance carrier
	Contracts can be copied to new contracts to facilitate the rapid deployment of new contracts
	Contracts can have an expiration date assigned
	Contracts can be flagged as active or inactive

ICD9 and ICD10 Code Support

	EMD products fully supports the use of ICD9 and ICD10 codes
	There are two related classifications of diseases with similar titles, and a third classification on functioning and disability.
	The International Classification of Diseases, Clinical Modification is used to code and classify morbidity data from the inpatient and outpatient records, physician offices, and the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) surveys.
	EMD goes a step further by allowing the ICD codes to be mapped to CPT codes to help ensure that non-appropriate exams are scheduled. This helps to ensure proper patient care and medical reimbursement.

Insurance Authorization

	Processing insurance pre-authorizations can be tricky business without a sophisticated management system. Our applications records all the staff member who obtained the authorization, authorization number, referral number, effective date, expiration date, issue date, and notes. Authorizations are tied directly to the patient and the exam. The authorization status is updated to the application dashboard to inform front desk staff of a patient's authorization status.
	The requirement for pre-authorization can be configured based on the CPT code ordered and the insurance carrier entered for the patient

E/M TOOL

EMD has developed an application that helps providers ensure correct coding of evaluation and management (E/M) services.

Health care players may require reasonable documentation to ensure that their service is consistent with the patient’s insurance coverage and validate it, like

	The location of service
	The medical necessity and appropriateness of the diagnostic and/or therapeutic services provided; and/or
	That services furnished have been accurately reported

There are general principles of medical record documentation that are applicable to all types of medical and surgical services in all settings. While E/M services vary in several ways, such as the nature and amount of physician work required, the following general guide principles for evaluation and management services help ensure that medical record documentation for all E/M services is appropriate.

	The medical record should be complete and legible;
	The documentation of each patient encounter should include:
	Reason for the encounter and relevant history, physical examination findings, and prior diagnostic test results;
	Assessment, clinical impression, or diagnosis;
	Medical plan of care; and date and legible identity of the observer.
	If not documented, the rationale for ordering diagnostic and other ancillary services should be easily inferred;
	Past and present diagnoses should be accessible to the treating and/or consulting physician;
	Appropriate health risk factors should be identified;
	The patient’s progress, response to and changes in treatment, and revision of diagnosis should be documented; and the diagnosis and treatment codes reported on the health insurance claim form or billing statement should be supported by the documentation in the medical record. In order to maintain an accurate medical record, services should be documented during the encounter or as soon as practicable after the encounter.

EMD's software helps make this complicated and sometimes confusing process easy and fast. This ensures that the patient is charged fairly, the provider is compensated fairly, and the liability of Medicare / Medicaid fraud is reduced.
