Question to Michele, how do you manage multiple PM systems? I don't believe all providers are using the same one. Will the biller have to become a multiple PM user, navigating between the different software? how about training and support?
Am I being non compliant by using Excel? If so, from what I've read it seems cloud based would not be cost-effective for a small operation like mine. Maybe Lytec as Michele suggests?
Using Excel on the cloud would not be HIPAA compliant at all, I suppose if you wanted to take the extra steps to encrypt but store only locally you could do that. I wouldn't utilize Excel as a PM solution at all as it would be extremely inefficient for a billing company aside from not being compliant if the sheets contain any PHI.
The only other practitioners that I have spoken to use Practice Mate on Office Ally or just enter CMS-1500 claims on O.A. through the Service Center option.
