Blizzard

Friday, January 8, 2010 by Mike Beer
The blizzard that was predicted for Indianapolis this week was little more than a minor annoyance.  It wasn't like last year, when they closed schools based on the predictions and then got no snow at all.  There was some snow but for the most part it merely slowed down the roads a little and the kids got out of school an hour early.  Hopefully it will warm up so it's bearable to go outside and play in the snow.


As far as warming up goes, Bradford-Scott Data Corporation's medical billing system sales are heating up.  We already have five customers on our conversion board with more on the way.  Four customers have been using our medical office billing software for years and are upgrading to Intergy by Sage.  Two of them are going to implement electronic health records using our CCHIT certified EHR software Intergy EHR by Sage v5.5.

If you're ready for a change to your current physician medical billing system or are ready to enter the world of EMR systems, reply to this blog or contact medical sales at 317-713-2065.  Make 2010 the year your office changes for the better.

Cheers,
Mike



Freezing

Monday, January 4, 2010 by Mike Beer
Today I watched two examples of freezing weather.  After the Colts played in -1 windchill and on a snow-covered field in Buffalo, I took my kids to the skate park.  They stayed out in the cold for over an hour, I don't know how they did it.

So if that's what's cold, here's what's hot:  Sales of Intergy by Sage and Intergy EHR by Sage.  In December we added several new clients and upgraded some long-time customers.  One longtime client has used our medical claims software for years but has decided to upgrade to the full suite of Intergy products.

Another customer is a physician medical billing service.  With the enterprise medical software version of Intergy by Sage, this practice will be able to better manage their clients and provide them with a better solution for billing, tracking, and follow up.

Intergy by Sage and Intergy EHR by Sage are selling like hotcakes.  It's time for you to get your name on the list.  Give Bradford-Scott Data Corporation a call at 317-713-2065 or fill out the form beside this blog.

EMR

Tuesday, December 22, 2009 by Mike Beer
EMR (Electronic Medical Records) is in the news everywhere.  Many practices have already moved to an electronic medical records system and others are in the process of looking.  Our EMR / EHR solution includes things such as medical charting software, electronic prescriptions, and integration with our medical office billing software, Intergy by Sage.  Intergy EHR can be used for nearly any type of specialty including:

Christmas is coming

Monday, December 21, 2009 by Mike Beer
Christmas week is here.  It's a short week for me thanks to a holiday, a floating holiday, and a vacation day.  We've got family in town and the next few days should be full of food and fun!  We even got a little bit of snow to greet our family from Texas.

But first I have a couple of matters to attend to.  Today I have a meeting with one of our physician medical billing services.  They've been purchased and forced to go onto a different medical claims software.  However, they have been a long-time customer on our medical charting software and they want to continue using that.  So we'll simply interface their new medical billing system with our electronic medical records software.


Bradford-Scott Data Corporation is experienced with interfacing between our medical office billing software and EMR systems.  Our Intergy by Sage and Intergy EHR by Sage can be connected with other medical insurance billing software and/or other electronic health records systems.  Your best bet is to combine both products to have the most integrated solution along with the best support in the Midwest.

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and Happy New Year to you and yours!

Cheers,
Mike

What a Thursday night football game!  I wondered if the Colts were going to play with 100% intensity, but boy did they.  Now they'll get a well-deserved ten day break.

Backups

Thursday, December 17, 2009 by Mike Beer
Here at Bradford-Scott Data Corporation we've always instructed our clients to do daily backups.  We also instruct them to take each night's backup tape home in case of an emergency.  The truth of the matter is that some of our physician medical billing customers do their backups faithfully, while others are a little more lax.  This week we had an example of a client who was saved by their backup.

Monday morning we received a call that a physician office that uses our medical office billing software had a fire over the weekend.  The office and their medical billing system were both destroyed.  When we asked if they had a backup, the answer was a resounding yes!  This customer had taken the most recent backup tape home over the weekend.  We were able to read the backup and recover all of their data.

Bradford-Scott now offers a new remote backup solution to even more fully protect your office against disaster.  Your system can be backed up each night and your data is stored on our secure servers so you can instantly have a safe copy of your data stored off site.  If you would like more information on our new remote backup solution, call us at 317-713-2065.

Physician Medical Billing

Thursday, December 10, 2009 by Mike Beer
Great news!  One of Bradford-Scott's largest physician medical billing services has decided to upgrade to our Intergy by Sage medical billing system.  This customer has been with us as long as I have, and they've been highly successful in meeting the needs of several physicians in Indiana. 

After reaching expert status with their current medical claims software, this company decided they could better serve their customers by upgrading.  Intergy's Enterprise medical software will allow them to more quickly and efficiently bill, apply payments, search and administer the system.

Whether you're a billing service or an individual practice, we'd like you to check out our medical office billing software.  For more information about Intergy by Sage or our electronic medical records software Intergy EHR by Sage, click these links, fill out the form beside this blog, or call us at 317-713-2065.

Big Freeze

Wednesday, December 9, 2009 by Mike Beer
Our lucky run of good weather has come to an end.  After spending three Saturdays in November golfing, today brought snow, ice, and the formidable wintry mix.  But will that plus a 1-degree wind chill keep me from going to the Purdue game tonight?  I don't think so.

Since I've begin working here we've had many of our medical software Indiana clients in Lafayette, IN.  One of the first customer visits I ever made was a customer who purchased our medical claims software long before I began working here 17 years ago.  Later I was able to introduce some of our other support techs to the wonders of Purdue University while in town for an enterprise medical software client.  If I remember right, I helped this customer interface with their hospital information systems and then ate at the Wabash Yacht Club later.

Times have changed a little since then.  Bradford-Scott Data Corporation now has a new suite of products, including Intergy by Sage and Intergy EHR by Sage.  We offer new features such as electronic prescriptions, medical charting software, and electronic medical records software.  Our product line is tops, and I expect nothing less from Purdue's basketball team this year.

Boiler Up!
Cheers,
Mike

Maximizing revenues

Friday, December 4, 2009 by Mike Beer
There are a lot of reasons a practice would purchase medical office billing software.  Patient records can be stored, reports can be run, correspondence letters can be created.  But the main reason to implement a good medical claims software is to maximize billing and collections.  The newest release of Intergy by Sage contains many enhancements that make this medical billing system the most robust and powerful product for your practice.  Here are a few examples:
  • Claim scrubbing
    With industry estimates at 3% to 5% for lost annual practice revenues due to claims denials*, the submission of clean claims has a critical impact on your practice’s bottom line. Sage Intergy V5.5 gives you the ability to “scrub” claims and correct errors before claims are submitted to your clearinghouse.

  • Procedure alerts
    In addition to claim scrubbing, procedure alerts maximize your chances of submitting clean claims the first time around. These user-definable alerts include procedure code-specific warnings at multiple levels (carrier, plan, self-pay, etc.).

  • Rebill Claims Utility
    The Rebill Utility allows you to perform mass rebills of problem claims by payer, batch, provider, and procedures class.

  • Task Management for Charges, Denials and more
    Comprehensive Task Management within Sage Intergy allows you to create Charge Tasks and conduct comprehensive Denial Tracking allowing you flag affected files, and assign Tasks to appropriate staff for follow-up/resolution creating traceable accountability.
To learn more about these and many more billing features, or our award-winning electronic medical records system Intergy EHR by Sage, reply to this blog or give Bradford-Scott Data Corporation a call at 317-713-2065.  Get the most for your money!

Mike

December

Thursday, December 3, 2009 by Mike Beer

I can't believe it's December already.  It was supposed to flurry today but I never saw any snow.  I did start wearing my winter coat this week which I try to never do before the first snowfall.  Only one more month in the year!  But at least the number 2010 sounds a lot cooler than any year we've had for a while.

2010 is your last shot to get an electronic medical records system up and running so you can qualify for the full reimbursement from the government.  It's shaping up to be a busy year for us at Bradford-Scott Data Corporation.  We expect to implement many EMR systems for our existing customers and also for new customers.


If you're not currently a customer of Bradford-Scott, we have the total package for you.  Intergy by Sage is our medical office billing software.  And when you integrate that with Intergy EHR by Sage, you'll have a full-fledged office solution which will provide you with medical claims billing, electronic prescriptions, and a host of other great features.  To learn more, fill out the form on this page or give us a call at 317-713-2065.

Black Friday

Wednesday, November 25, 2009 by Mike Beer
Deals!  I can't pass up a deal.  Especially on electronics that I don't even need.  I've been looking at the Black Friday ads for a month now and I can't wait to get the newspaper tomorrow.  I'll spread them all out on the floor and make a checklist about who opens when and what I want to buy there.  And then I'll go buy new electronic equipment that will make my life better!

If I were a doctor the deal I'd be looking at right now is the incentives provided by the American Recovery & Reinvestment Act for moving to electronic health records.  Here's why:

  • Cutting edge technology?  Check!
  • Electronic prescriptions?  Check!
  • Incentives of up to $44,000 per doctor?  Check!
That's a deal if I've ever heard of one.  The end of the year is typically a busy time for us here at Bradford-Scott Data Corporation as many offices purchase EMR systems or medical claims software.  Now that the deadline for the highest stimulus payments for employing an electronic medical records system is barely a year away, it may be even busier.  For information on how Intergy by Sage and Intergy EHR by Sage can be a deal for you, contact us at 317-713-2065 or fill out the form on this page.  Happy shopping!

Cheers,
Mike
