Coding and billing for anesthesia services is complex, with high dollars at risk – MedAptus Anesthesia module makes it easy to achieve optimal reimbursement
According to a 2006 study in the journal, Anesthesiology, "...the observed reductions in charge lag and days in accounts receivable may be of benefit in calculating the return on investment that is attributable to the adoption of anesthesia information management systems and electronic charge transmission."
Benefits
- Compliance with unique payment rules
- Maximum reimbursement due to charge completeness
- Cost savings from reduced data entry
- Shared patient data across careteam members
The Anesthesia module is a fully integrated component of MedAptus’ Point-of-Care Charge Capture. This tool is a must-have for busy anesthesiology groups that are likely losing revenue due to complex and stringent regulations. Unlike most other specialties, anesthesia billing requires a number of documented elements to receive payment – the usage of our automation mitigates the risk of human error.
Physician-users of the module enjoy immediate access to patient surgical history, in addition to coding functionality that ensures complete and compliant charge capture. As a result, the need to extract billing information from clinically-oriented flow sheets is eliminated and charges can be posted expeditiously.
