AdvancedMD Review

Paper medical records are associated with high costs, inefficiency, loss of productivity, security and safety issues. Providers are now switching to EHRs. An EHR (Electronic Health Record) is a comprehensive compilation of patients’ medical records and health history, stored electronically and designed to be shared with multiple authorized providers thus allowing for treatment of patients from multiple locations. AdvancedMD is a secure, integrated, cloud based EHR designed to create a patient-centered practice and can support everyone and all functions in a practice.

The front office can be a busy, chaotic and hectic area of the office that may create a bad impression with patients. With AdvancedMd’s patient portal, you can search for patients, view patient appointments, add new patients, and edit patient information. The iPad check in kiosk allows you to scan patient insurance cards and drivers licenses and assign intake and consent forms to patients so they can view, complete and sign ahead of time.

Features

The rooming feature lets you know where patients are located at any time. This ensures greater clinical efficiency and quality of care with security to keep your practice compliant. The patient portal, also allows you to send patient education material and lab results privately to both the patient and other providers.

The online scheduling feature allows you to view your schedule and add patients to the schedule. Patient appointment reminders are sent automatically to minimize no shows and help to keep the schedule full.

The business intelligence feature has reporting and bench marking tools that let you know where you stand financially and how you compare to other physicians, allowing you to make informed decisions.

Financial Processes

Many financial processes such as eligibility verification, claims inspection and collections worklists are automated with the AdvancedMD’s Billing software. This allows you to automate your revenue cycle so you can focus on collecting money and not data entry. The claims center is organized into prioritized work lists, giving you the ability to view claims throughout the entire claims submission process. The claim inspector automatically scans and scrubs each claim and identifies any errors before claim submission, saving you hours of appeals as well as lost reimbursements.

Besides high amounts of uncollected payments, paper billing statements can involve the costly process of printing, addressing, stamping and mailing hundreds of statements. AdvancedMD ePayments is a convenient and integrated way to send statements electronically and help patients make payments faster. It automatically sends patients a text or email statement notification when you do your billing. 

Patients can make payments securely online once they receive their statement. The secure payment portal can be used by patients to securely make payment, receive receipts and manage statements. This saves labor, resources, time and money and gets you paid faster.

Billing

AdvancedMD billing feature gives you the flexibility to outsource or do your own billing. With electronic remittance, EOBs (Explanation of Benefit) are easy to access. They show insurance carrier payments that have been received and the patients that are associated with the payments. This can then be auto-posted directly to a patient’s account with a single click. You can also view the important information on each claim such as date of service remittance details, contracted amount and patient balance.

You can use an iPhone or iPad to access clinical records, schedules, manage messages, create and review charge slips and review or add patients.

The AdvancedMD Telemedicine feature makes patient visits simple and convenient. Telemedicine enables clinicians to evaluate, diagnose and treat patients remotely thus allowing patients to access healthcare faster and increase clinician’s revenue.

With AdvancedMD ePrescribing software, prescribing medications to patients becomes easier and more secure.
