Loss of Client due to EMR
Billergirlnyc:
I actually gained a client after he transferred to EMR and was audited by MC for these systems that do automated coding. There will be a need for informed billers and coders, which is why I believe we have to become more focused in our areas of expertise. I've taken classes for chart auditing, will be taking the test to get my CPC license, because I believe you'll need a lot more training and knowledge going forward. A computer is good, but a human eye is better.
Even when I lost a client to EMR, I gave him all the facts, and he hired me to train his new staff. Now, I may not have his regular billing, but every six months he hires me to audit what his staff is doing. It's not an ideal situation, but it's not bad either, because he trusts me and still recommends me to his friends. We lose some. We gain some. But, I believe some things can't be replaced yet with computers. One thing we can't do is wait and see like the publishing and music industry did. We have to find these areas that we're still needed, and trust me we are.

Turn lemons into lemon-aide!
QueenAlicia:
That's actually great advice Dee. This can also be something that some of the billing associations can cover and help billers out. I am trying to read all I can about EMR/EHR.
Billergirlnyc:
Exactly @ Michelle and QueenAlicia. I believe in turning every situation over and over before I count it as a loss.
