How Your EMR is Hurting Your Practice
#1 BILLING INTEGRATION
YOUR EMR
Billing is not integrated. Deductible and coinsurance balances due are not visible during patient check-in, which lowers your revenue by 4%.
S4PT EMR
Billing is integrated with the same database as EMR. Deductible & Coinsurance balances are displayed & collected during patient check-in
#2 PATIENT VISIT COUNT
Your EMR
Because patient visits aren’t counted as “consumed” until the note is signed, more visits can be opened than are authorized.
S4PT EMR
Visits are counted as consumed when the note is opened. The patient visit count is accurate; you don’t treat for free.
#3 EVAL DOCUMENTATION
Your EMR
Patients report pain, aggravating/relieving factors, concerns, medical history, PLOF, and meds on intake. The therapist types all this a second time in the eval.
S4PT EMR
All this patient data is imported into the eval from the Automated Check-In patient portal. Treat More, Type Less
