Increase Revenue and Decrease Overhead Our EMR software can increase your revenue by providing your physicians with better coding recommendations. This enables the Doctors to offer new services to their patients.
E/M level coding assistance, as used in our EMR, can be an incredible financial benefit, especially in family practice, pediatric and internal medicine practices. In fact, a recent study by Medical Economics Magazine stated that “a physician not coding to the maximum E/M levels may be losing $40,000 to $50,000 annually”. Using an EMR solution, like FirstEMR®, enables a practice to reduce their physical storage space by drastically reducing the amount of paper used for each patient. This can translate into utilizing new-found office space and making it available for treatment. Eliminating the wasted storage space by eliminating old paper charts makes sense and saves money.
