Go paperless
After just a few years, patient records and insurance
records can take up entire rooms in your building. And how
many times have you been searching for Patient X's chart? A
paperless office takes up only the space of a few computers, and
records are immediately available to all authorized users. |

Decrease transcription errors
In a traditional system, providers document
treatments in a patient's chart by writing the appropriate Current
Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes. CPTs are then transcribed
onto billing forms (such as HCFA1500s or UB 92s) by the
administrative staff. Such transcription can introduce errors
that cause insurance claim rejections, and hold up payment by
months.
In a paperless office, diagnoses and treatments are automatically
and instantly passed to the billing system over a computer network.
This completely eliminates the manual transcription step in the
billing process, eliminating costly errors. |

Shorten billing cycles
There are many delays in a typical billing cycle.
When charts sit in a pile on the transcriptionist's desk, the
billing cycle is delayed. When insurance forms are completed
and awaiting transmission, the billing cycle is delayed. When
the insurance company identifies errors in forms, they add time to
the billing cycle. All these delays can be reduced by a
paperless office system. |

Accelerate cash flow
Fewer errors and shortened billing cycles mean you're
collecting cash from the insurance company sooner. And since a
medical practice is also a business, cash flow is critical.
Paperless office systems can contribute to quicker collections of
your insurance and Medicare payments. |

How we do it
GEEKS INCORPORATED focuses on
highly-functional, low-cost solutions that enable smaller private
practices to afford the move toward a paperless office. |

|
Practice Management System
The practice management
system is the software package that enables an office to automate
business processes. It serves as a patient scheduling system,
an office accounting system, and a billing system. |

|
|
Electronic Medical Record System
An electronic medical
record system is the software package that enables an office to
automate its medical processes. Data for each patient is
stored in a database and is immediately available to all
authorized users. No more searching for that misplaced
chart! |
| | |
|
|
Data Interface System
Once the practice
management system and the electronic medical record system are in
place, the systems need a way to share data. A data interface
system is a piece of software that shares and translates data
between the other systems. |

|
|
HIPAA
The Health Insurance Portability and
Accountability Act (HIPAA) legislation passed in 1996, placing many
requirements on all medical practitioners. We recognize that
these requirements are critical to the proper operation of any practice.
For this reason, any system installed by GEEKS INCORPORATED will support your
office in its quest for HIPAA compliance. |
