Podiatry Software for Physician and Billing
jmgiusti:
Good morning all my experts!
I have a DPM that is taking over the practice of the current podiatrist I bill for. Current podiatrist uses Athena Health. It would be good, except Athena Health charges 4.68% of revenue for use of the Clinical Side!!!! I have never heard of that! Dont most charge a flat fee? They additionally charge short of 2% for Athena collector, which is actually reasonable for what they do.
The new DPM, is a foot and ankle surgical specialist also. She is asking me to research EHRs that would be best for both of us.
1. Clinical side: her quote "I have called several EHR systems and waiting for return calls. I personally like EHRs with templates and not a lot of "clicking" involved. Also, need task messaging, automated phone and e-mail reminders, etc "
2. Billing Side: I of course can work with anything that is web-based
What do the experts here recommend?
Thanks Jessica

We do not do enough with EHR to know of one that I would recommend. Sorry! But she sounds like she really knows what she is looking for and I don't want to recommend anything without knowing if it meets her requests.
As for Athena, I have never heard of an EHR that charged a %. Very strange. And I am not sure with Athena specifically but I do know of other EHR programs that offer the billing portion for a ridiculous % but it's because they have it done overseas. Basically provider puts in claims, they submit to clearinghouse and that's it. Not really a billing service. The provider is really handing the billing themselves.
Good luck!!

Thank you Michele!
You are correct! I think Athena is the only one that charges a percentage of revenue instead of a flat fee. I have seen the contract though and was shocked to find out.
Re: EHR's with billing services: Yes, ridiculously low percentage rates to push a button once with no f/up. I won't deal with anyone that outsources overseas in any way, manner or form! I am good enough at what I do that this is not a threat to me. A physician that makes that choice would pay dearly and surely regret it!
Thank you so much for your input!
Sincerely,
jessica

I wonder how this works in states that prohibit fee splitting arrangements?

My personal opinion is that they aren't concerned. Should be, but aren't.
