Traditionally, PT billing and documentation have been separate processes with their own set of frustrations. The new WebPT integration with Certified Billing Partners (Kareo, BMS) will create a better streamlined workflow between your EMR and billing systems allowing you to run your clinic more efficiently and focus on patient care.
Simplifying clinical and financial processes for PTs has always been our goal at WebPT. Integrated billing is an important piece to that puzzle. The all-in-in one EMR can improve front office staff effiiciency, decrease coding errors, and improve reimbursement. Here are the top five benefits of having an integrated PT EMR and billing system:
1) Front office efficiency
Using a medical billing software or service that is integrated with your EMR means that demographic and billing data will be seamlessly transmitted from your documentation system to your billing company. This eliminates the tedious process of entering patient data into two systems. Once data is entered into WebPT, it transfers directly into the integrated billing system. Even if you are completing your billing in house, there is no need for keying in the charges generated by staff documentation as long as it is entered into WebPT or your EMR. If using an outside billing service, an integrated system eliminates the need to constantly fax every billing sheet saving a significant amount of time, paper and money. Ultimately, this will give therapists the ability to focus on patient care and improve clinic efficiency. -
