Podiatry Practice Management & Billing Software automates the administrative & financial processes such as appointments, patient registration and billing process

Podiatry has unique needs for practice management solutions. Podiatry practice management includes everything from keeping your staff motivated to staying on top of practice finances and managing the client relationship. Your success in managing your podiatry practice involves a number of imperatives:

1. Begin with the end in mind
2. Define and implement streamlined processes
3. Automate tasks as far as possible by implementing a good practice management software
4. Schedule regular staff education and training
5. Learn to listen, delegate and communicate clearly
6. Hire a team of support staff who are well-educated, highly trained and all working together towards the success of the practice
7. Aim at improving the complete patient experience from check-in to check-out.

No matter how much healthcare laws have evolved,  our practice management software & services for Podiatry practices will help you manage your day-to-day billing, operational and administrative functions efficiently.

The days of keeping your practice management software  and electronic medical records software separate are over.  It’s time for Podiatry professionals to eliminate the headaches, conflicts, and lost time and revenue resulting from communication errors and system breakdowns between software systems that claim to be working together for you. Integrating your Podiatry EHR with Practice Management software is probably the most low-risk and cost-effective way to make your practice more efficient and more profitable since it enables DPMs and their staff record patient demographics, manage charge capture, perform billing operations, generate reports and schedule appointments thereby dramatically improving clinical workflow efficiency and boosting reimbursements.

PrognoCIS EHR Software is fully integrated with comprehensive practice management software and therefore provides your practice with a seamless integrated solution you need to eliminate lost productivity while increasing revenue and efficiency. It therefore helps you to optimize revenues with accelerated reimbursements, automated coding recommendations, reduced denials, and increased patient flow.

Here’s how full EHR and practice management integration can benefit your Podiatry practice:

• Saving in time by cutting out lot of duplicate effort since your office staff will not have to enter the same data twice into separate programs. Practice Management software and EHR will exchange the required data effortlessly and without any errors. The result is an increase in efficiency allowing you to focus more on the pressing needs of your patients. 
• Improved cashflow by accelerating the claim submission process and reduction in costs by reducing rework involved in dealing with claim rejections and denials as well. Handling denials is very expensive and hurts the bottom-line of the practice.
• Increase in profits by eliminating the separation between the clinical and administrative sides of the practice, which hinders operational processes due to the use of time-wasting procedures.
• Enhanced patient communication, leading to improved continuity of care 
• Automatic creation of real-time claims thereby accelerating your revenue cycle, with charge codes crossing over from the EMR.

Enhance Patient Care & Safety with Certified e-Prescription and Medication Management Options included with Podiatry EHR

With electronic prescribing, or e-Prescribing, providers enter prescription information into a device such as a tablet, laptop, or desktop computer – and securely transmit data to pharmacies using a software program and connectivity to a transmission network. When a pharmacy receives a request, it fills the medication right away.

Key benefits of our e-Prescription solution include:

• Ability to send e-prescriptions immediately from your patient’s chart to their desired pharmacy
• Improved prescription accuracy and reduced medical errors through automatic interaction checks including drug-drug or drug-allergy issues
• Better connectivity with PACs and labs
• Reduced risk of controlled substance abuse, particularly pain management medication
• Lower out-of-pocket cost to patients through access to prescription eCoupon discounts
• Simplify prescription management for both patients and providers.
• Immediately access patient medical records, including information about patient medications, prescription history, and allergies

Medication Management for Adherence

• Medication non-adherence is a national epidemic. Medication non-adherence, sub-optimal prescribing, and improper drug administration cost the U.S over $300 billion annually. More than 20% of an employer’s healthcare cost is caused by non-adherence, with 50% of patients never taking the medication as prescribed.

Medication Management for Adherence from Surescripts is integrated into PrognoCIS EHR. Surescripts analyzes prescription usage data from Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs) and funnels relevant information into PrognoCIS. This information empowers physicians to improve adherence by arming them with timely and targeted information.

Uses of Podiatry Telehealth Health

• Telemedicine visits are useful for simple issues and for providing health education to patients.  They can be used to do patient assessments and evaluations, medication management, treatment planning, post-procedure follow-up.  For example, a patient can send a photo of their bunion to their Podiatrist (asynchronous Podiatry telemedicine service) or go on a video chat with their physician to show an abscess from different angles (synchronous Podiatry telemedicine service).
• These “virtual” or telemedicine Podiatry visits allow the Podiatrists and patients to interact and communicate in many ways, including: discussion of symptoms, observation/assessment of many physical signs, collection of pertinent data, explanation of test results, communication of diagnoses, discussion of treatment options including medication management, and follow-up to certain procedures.
• PrognoCIS EMR enables providers to conduct patient consultations through real-time videoconferencing that’s both secure and HIPAA-compliant. 
• Telepodiatry visits allow more flexibility, save travel time, and decrease the amount of “downtime” that patients spend in waiting rooms.  More importantly, telemedicine visits lets patients get the care they need while lowering their risk of exposure to contagious diseases during times when social distancing is necessary.

Reimbursement and Coding for TelePodiatry – CMS Guidance

• Podiatry Telehealth services can be performed in one of two ways:
• Store and forward (asynchronous): Patient submits an image or pre-recorded video for the physician to review and provide advice, e.g., a patient sends a recorded video of them performing diabetic wound care or a series of photos of their diabetic wound taken over a period of time.
• Live interactive (synchronous): Real-time two-way interaction between the physician and patient e.g., patient initiates a video chat with the physician to discuss the effects of a particular medication or Podiatry procedure.
• CMS is providing various waivers and flexibilities designed to help Podiatrists and other health practitioners deal with the COVID-19 pandemic.  Many of these flexibilities cover provision of care via telemedicine. For example, CMS now also allows Podiatry practitioners to deliver telemedicine services while working from their own home while continuing to bill for these services from their officially enrolled practice location.
• In addition, Podiatry practitioners can provide consultation services to other physicians via telemedicine. These “eConsultations” can be coded with inter-professional consultation codes for reimbursement by CMS.
