Success Stories :  Ophthalmology

 

Children’s Eye Center (CEC), in Colorado Springs found their Unix-based Medical Manager billing system labor intensive and difficult to use. Training new staff members was time consuming and
expensive....

They didn’t want to spend a lot of money or have difficulty transitioning to a new practice management system. After a thorough selection process, including site visits and customer interviews, the practice selected MicroMD, a Windows-based, true relational database, practice management system whose “user friendly” interface allows them to take full advantage of the system in a short period of time. Navigating through the system with the versatility of the mouse or the speed of the keyboard shortcuts, they quickly streamlined their practice with MicroMD’s very powerful features.

 

Solution....
Because of its ease of use, the staff quickly adopted the new MicroMD system. The ability to have multiple day sheets open means they no longer have to close the day by 5:00pm, which has resulted in substantial savings by eliminating staff overtime. The staff feels that electronic claims couldn’t be easier! In most cases, claims are batch processed and sent all at once. However, claims can be selected and sent individually if needed, and the Summary Report checks for errors before submitting.
