The $10,000 Your EMR Won’t Let You Collect

You can add $10,000 to your bank account, right now. But a design flaw in your EMR does not communicate that this money should be collected.

As you know, during Q1 large deductible balances are transferred to patients. You have accumulated roughly $10,000 of patient deductible balances in your billing system.

How it Should Work:

With Systems 4PT, when a patient checks in for treatment, your Front Desk Staff see the deductible balance due:

Here’s The Problem,

Coinsurance and deductibles owed by the patient do not appear on the front desk schedule because billing is in a separate database . Front desk staff see this amount due:

You’ve Just Identified the Problem

There is $119.16

But Your Front Desk Staff See $0.00 Due

30-Second Process to Determine if Your EMR Shows Deductible Due:

This time of year, every Medicare patient (who does not have a secondary), and most patients with commercial insurance, owe a deductible balance.

Looking at today’s schedule, ask your Front Desk Staff,
- “Nancy at 10:00, how much deductible does she owe? Not copay, show me deductible.”
- “William at 1:00, he’s a Medicare patient. How much deductible does he owe?”

If your Staff can’t show you how much Deductible is due, you have the $10,000 problem.

Important Perspective:

This Isn’t a “Bad News Realization”

This is Fantastic: There’s a $10,000 Bonus Waiting for You!

(and more comes due every month)
