Never has been a better time to buy consumer electronics online than now. There is more selection than ever, and merchants are coming up with such sweet deals it is almost impossible to ignore them. The cyber competition is fierce, and the only way retailers can compete, and really grab the attention of consumers is by slashing prices and delivering quality service.

Imagine, there will be no need to put on your sun block, rubber boots, or snowsuit, as your local weather conditions will not bother you. You just sit back with a cup of coffee or a pint of beer and shop to your heart’s content.

Taking advantage of online shopping is not only convenient and fun; as a smart consumer you will also save lots of money. All that is required of you is to start a search by typing in the item, the model number, and brand you are interested. In seconds, a list of retailers offering this product will show up. Your job will then be to check them all out, compare the offers and decide which shop is offering the best deal. Can it be any simpler?  Read more...

Is the Insurance Industry Ready for Alternative Practice Electronic Billings?

Posted on 13th September 2010 in Office Electronic

Many insurance carriers have seen the writing on the wall related to complementary and alternative medicine, and have answered the demands of their beneficiaries — of which approximately 40% are seeking such therapies.  That means that several insurers are now paying for acupuncture, chiropractic services, biofeedback, and naturopathy.

Consider also that the Health Information Technology and Clinical Health Act (HITECH), which was signed into law on February 17, 2009 by President Obama, requires that Medicare and Medicaid providers adopt “health information technology” by the year 2019, and offers grants and other financial incentives for doing so.  Where the federal government goes, the private insurers are usually either way ahead of the game, or at least not too far behind.  That means that those insurance companies that are not already accepting and encouraging electronic claims submissions will be soon, and since many alternative and complementary therapies are already covered, these will be part and parcel of this trend toward electronic billing.

This is a good thing, really, as the use of electronic medical billing programs have several advantages for the single or group practitioner, not the least of which are the severely reduced claims processing times, with one provider reporting that payment of paper claims that had previously taken between fifty and sixty days is now taking only five to ten days with electronic claims submission.  When combined with an electronic medical record, medical billing software can also greatly reduce the number of medical errors that are now being reported, which is a definite cost-saver for healthcare benefits carriers.  Read more...

Do You Think Your Staff Is Ready For Electronic Medical Records?

Posted on 29th May 2010 in Office Electronic

One thing often forgotten in major projects such as an EMR implementation within a medical practice: the impact the change has on the staff. Do you think they’re prepared for the significant change of moving from paper record-keeping to electronic? How much training will it take to get your employees using the system proficiently, and who needs to know what? The staff’s perceptions and use of the system are key in the measure of overall effectiveness and success. It’s important to put people first.

Most medical practices, and ophthalmologists in particular, have a majority of staff involved in data input using basic writing and typing skills. When converting your EPM to NextGen from Medical Manager, we went from a DOS keyboard-stroke data entry system to a mouse-driven, Windows-based menu. This may at first seem a minor difference, but it proved a somewhat stressful change for office staff who had enjoyed comfort with doing things in a specific way. After transitioning over to the new system files started disappearing mysteriously, and printouts were popping up at remote offices miles and miles away. It certainly took a bit of time to hone in on the system and how to use it properly.  Read more...
