Colorado West WomanCare (CWWC) P.C., in Grand Junction found their Unix billing system slow and inefficient. They needed a system that was easy to use, yet comprehensive enough to increase the efficiency of a growing practice.....

West WomanCare needed a Practice Management
System that allowed them to grow and take
advantage of technologies like EMR and Handheld
PDAs.

Previous System:  Medical Manager V9.2

Benefits....

The MicroMD systems overall efficiency has resulted in a 50% reduction in time to post and
process charges and payments. This has saved us one part-time charge entry person, and allowed us to improve our collections by 6%.

Effective, detailed reporting provides immediate access to valuable data. We can now generate concise meaningful reports with drill-down reporting.

The Wait List feature within MicroMD’s appointment Scheduling enables us to quickly fill
cancellations, and see more patients.

MicroMD’s ease of use has reduced the learning curve for users dramatically. Users are up and running in a fraction of the time it took with our old Medical Manager system. If they can use Windows, they can use MicroMD.

Fewer claim rejections and denials means less re-billing. Claims get flagged and corrected prior to submission.

Patient registration information is easy to enter and read, including all the options we need in a
dynamic Ob/Gyn practice. It was obvious that MicroMD had an Ob/Gyn practice in mind when they designed their Patient and Guarantor registration and information access.
