More than 1 way to skin a cat

3 things to do before spring fever

Uh oh, too late — it’s 60 degrees in the east. There’s still snow in my yard from the blizzards a month ago, but we’re finally free of Old Man Winter’s grip.
A lot of us in cold-weather areas want to run amuck now that spring has touched us. Just play outside like kids on spring [...]

It’s more than sick visits

Well-care programs are increasingly popular for health care providers and are even mandated in some states. You can create a proactive [...]

Don’t be paper thin, go digital

Don’t be paper thin, go digital
All we hear nowadays is electronic health records. EHRs are all the rage as the federal government tries to make everyone go digital by 2011.
But, don’t stop there. Your printer probably has a scanner and it can produce more money than if you created Benjamins straight from the printer.
The demand [...]

85% think EHR will work

The mean-sided part of us says 1 in 6 doesn’t think their electronic health record software will meet the 2011 deadline, according to a federal government-funded report of 1,400 health care providers.

Meanwhile, who knows how many of the positive ones really won’t be working. Quite a few we suspect, meaning the real number is [...]

Support you can depend upon

It happens all the time. An email at 10 p.m. (eastern) says please contact them the next day. They have a problem.
We email right back - “What the problem?” They respond, “What, you’re working?”
Yes, ClaimTek Systems tends to take a 24/7 approach to support services. Now we don’t get many calls after midnight, but isn’t [...]

3 key talking points to new clients

Physicians Practice.com delivers a good argument over whether to outsource billing. It’s a good exercise for talking with health care providers because they have the same questions. Let’s go down them.

It’s a complex business better left to experts. We’re not denying that. Every business has specialized accountants. That’s medical billers [...]

We’re all looking for more ways to make money. The best way is gaining new clients.
Have you thought about dentists?
It’s funny how we often forget about the tooth man. Maybe because he scares us. But, dentists are clearly behind in electronic billing. In fact, my own dentist doesn’t even have a computer. They do everything [...]

Strength in numbers

A small medical billing company owner was moaning over not making as much money as he wanted. He was having trouble expanding so it seemed he was where he was.
What other services are you offering, we asked, besides billing?
Hello, are you there? The line was silent for a moment before the business owner said [...]

Your marketing materials must work

Karen couldn’t understand why letters to doctors requesting a chance to show her medical billing abilities received no response.
We took a look. Uh, they were so poorly written that health care providers, who are college graduates, didn’t take her seriously. Even one misspelled word can turn off someone with a graduate school degree.
So we made [...]

How much is that doggy in the window?

Well, actually, how much to start a business is the real question here.

The EHR difference, and why we have it

The Huffington Post tells a a toe of woe. One worth repeating because it cost a nine-physician Florida practice more than $400,000 to learn it.
Robert Cameron told the website his practice bought an electronic medical records system from Acermed, a California company. The EMR didn’t work well; in fact so badly the company was sued [...]
