Practice Management

Absolute Medical Software Systems offers Practice Management Software (AMS PM) in an ASP model to give you total access to your records whether you are at your office, a hospital, at home or on call.  AMS PM is a fully integrated system that can communicate with any Electronic Medical Record that accepts an HL7 interface.  All you need is a computer with a high speed internet connection to allow groups of physicians to access patient records from multiple offices simultaneously and in real time.

The Power of our ASP model gives you the freedom to work from anywhere anytime.

AMS PM was developed by health care providers with extensive experience in multiple practice management software systems over the past decade.  In the development of this PM system, Absolute streamlined the data entry process to reduce mistakes and improve efficiency of the staff by eliminating redundant processes.  The software is intuitively easy to use in a familiar windows environment.  While the EDI processes are very complex in the collection and transmission of claim data, the user screens are very clean and data entry is efficient using a minimum number of key strokes.  Other software products are so focused on the claim development that they bring that same complication to the user process which causes frustration and inefficient operation.

Complex processes that improve practice management software belong in the back ground, not in the user screens.

AMS PM Calendar facilitates scheduling of appointments and collecting patient information without changing windows and going to other areas of the software to edit or retrieve data.  Using an efficient drag and drop function makes it easy to change appointment times. The calendar even allows entry of CPT codes for procedures as the patient is scheduled.  This can link required paperwork to the procedure for ancillary services that may be available in a provider office so staff is aware of additional required information.

AMS PM stores images of patient insurance cards, driver’s license, and other documents such as referrals, consults or insurance communication. By digitally storing these records in the patient record, they can be accessed by the provider or the billing staff without pulling a paper record even if the practice has not implemented a paper free environment.  This labor savings is significant in a busy office where the billing staff is frequently looking for charts to verify demographic data or referrals that may have been incorrectly data entered. 

The industry experience is that insurance companies deny 30% of all claims submitted for processing.

The most important functions of a practice management system are to maintain a schedule of patients with their demographic data to promote efficiency in patient movement, and to transmit accurate claim data the first time so the provider is paid promptly.  AMS PM has sophisticated EDI technology to facilitate data collection through eligibility verification which is integrated into patient registration.  The eligibility module can also process transactions automatically from the schedule so front desk staff are not wasting time going from various websites to the phone verifying that patient’s have insurance at the time of service. 

Insurance carriers are not in the business of paying claims.

AMS PM has integrated a sophisticated claim editor that identifies integrity errors in claims prior to transmission using the same software utilized by carriers to deny your claims on the back end.  AMS commitment to your revenue cycle brings the best in class tools to your billing staff to facilitate a higher number of claims being paid on the first pass and dramatically reducing denials.  Claims are submitted in the HIPAA compliant 837 format and Response Reports from the carriers are delivered to you on a daily basis.  Payments can be automatically posted using the 835 format and you can access the Claim Status Verification process to track down errant claims.

AMS PM also brings unique debt management tools in our software that facilitate the collection of self pay debt which has become a much larger problem in most health care businesses as insurance deductibles and the uninsured patient loads rises.  Automating the collection of self pay debt can make the difference between success and failure in many healthcare businesses. No other practice management software brings such an integrated process to a healthcare business.
