Clinicians are hearing a lot about being more efficient in their practice and it’s essential for professionals practicing in the Obamacare era.

Reimbursements are being reduced by Medicare and insurance companies, and clinicians must evolve in the way they operate their practice if they are to maintain a viable business.

One of the ways clinicians can accomplish that is through the use of EMR and billing software that works together.

In Touch EMR™ and In Touch Biller PRO interact seamlessly to accomplish the three key areas to improve workflow – patient intake, documentation and billing.

Patient Intake

During the intake process, In Touch EMR™ allows the front desk to verify and obtain patient information directly from the payer, create a patient file and schedule an appointment.

The information automatically goes into the EMR system where it can be retrieved by the clinician when the client arrives for their appointment.

Automatic Documentation

The one-click documentation available with the In Touch EMR™ saves an enormous amount of time. With one click, the clinician can create a document for that patient to record everything from an evaluation to treatment notes.

One of the unique features of In Touch EMR™ is that clinicians can make progress notes and they all appear automatically anytime the patient record is opened providing them with an at-a-glance overview.

Practitioners can make changes to their notes to reflect changes within the patient and their progress.

The EMR system also alerts clinicians to G codes and other pertinent data.

One Touch Billing

In Touch EMR™ works hand-in-hand with In Touch Biller PRO to make the billing process as easy as possible.

At the conclusion of the patient’s visit, clinicians simply hit one button – finalize claim.

Patient data and documentation is automatically sent to In Touch Biller PRO where it’s ready for submission. 

The claim appears within the billing software and clinicians can designate if claims are sent individually or as batch files.

Increasing the overall efficiency of the practice workflow allows for greater accuracy, less wasted time and increased revenues.

The keys are patient intake, documentation and billing.

When those three aspects work together, it provides a better patient experience and increased revenues for the practice.

In Touch EMR™ and In Touch Biller PRO work together seamlessly to automate a variety of tasks to lessen the workload of everyone within the practice.

The current healthcare climate demands that practices become more efficient at every task. Efficiency begins at the front desk by gathering all the needed patient information and verification before scheduling the client’s appointment.

The entire process can be accomplished with the In Touch EMR™ for savings in time and reduced denials.

Online Verification

In Touch EMR™ works with thousands of payers across the nation, making benefit verification a matter of a few moments.

When the payer doesn’t have the ability to verify online or they don’t offer it for certain physician types, such as physical therapists, it’s still possible to verify the old-fashioned way with a phone call.

Online verification is critical for practices to avoid health insurance fraud and theft.

Even though more people have insurance coverage through the Affordable Health Care Act, health insurance theft is a serious problem that robs practices across the U.S. of millions of dollars annually.

In Touch EMR™ has the time saving tools to quickly verify every aspect of the patient’s data.

One Click Charting

Streamlining front desk processing takes a major leap with one-click patient charting built into the In Touch EMR™.

With just one click of a button, the front desk can capture all the needed patient information (with the patient’s permission), create a chart, and schedule the client’s appointment.

There’s no need to spent time manually entering demographic information by hand.

In Touch EMR™ captures the information from the insurance company at the time of online verification.

Online verification and one-click charting work together to minimize denials.

Patient enrollment and benefit information comes directly from the insurance company, eliminating spelling mistakes and incorrect contact information.

The integrated In Touch EMR™ works hand-in-hand with verification and charting, and documentation can be further streamlined with an iPad.

Manually checking patient information, creating charts and verifying eligibility is a thing of the past with the In Touch EMR™.

The integrated software system saves time, reduces denials and automatically creates patient files with the click of a button. Designed specifically for physical therapists, it allows practices to schedule more efficiently and get paid without worrying about reimbursement denials.
