Still using an EMR that does not have a built-in RCM?

No More Entering the Same RCM Information Over and Over Again

1

With an RCM that is fully-integrated with its EMR, all information collected during patient intake to perform a verification of benefits will carry over to the EMR and RCM.

2

With non-integrated systems, the same information must be manually re-entered into multiple systems. This repetition of data entry is inefficient and can lead to errors.

3

Interfacing disparate systems can be costly and increases the possibility for interface errors as data is transferred from one software system to another.

4

Having a CRM, EMR, and RCM integrated into one database allows single-point data entry. The information seamlessly flows from patient intake to multiple points within the workflow for maximum accuracy, data integrity, and efficiency.

Ability to
Auto-generate
Charges

1

An integrated system auto-generates charges based on each unique patient from data it pulls from the EMR. With a non-integrated system, census information is typically handed over to the billing department and then is manually entered into the RCM.

2

An integrated system prevents billing errors, such as missing billable sessions or days of stay.

3

For outpatient services, charges are auto-generated based on attendance.

Easy-to-perform
Billing Audits

1

An EMR and RCM integrated in one database prevents missed billing opportunities and partially billed authorizations by ensuring that all billable items are accounted for and then actually billed.

2

A fully integrated EMR automatically feeds authorization numbers from Utilization Review to the RCM. System controls ensure that authorizations that do not match admission records are red-flagged when claims are submitted.

Easy-to-implement
Patient Billing

1

When it comes to patient billing, an integrated system reduces the issues that come from disparate software systems. Different systems for patient payments and insurance payments obscure a company’s full financial outlook and are inefficient. A fully-integrated EMR and RCM streamlines these processes and eliminates redundancies.

2

Generating patient account statements is no longer a manual process from disparate systems.
