Discuss the latest issue of the AAP Coding Newsletter and timely pediatric coding topics.

Find the appointment best fit to your patient's and doctor's needs in Partner's scheduler, sam. Attendees will learn how to effectively search by provider, visit type, and use different time frame search criteria to quickly find the right available appointment slots. We'll demonstrate advanced schedule views (day, detailed, and normal views) and features, such as provider free time which helps users distribute appointments among providers.

Attendees will also learn how to efficiently schedule consecutive sibling visits using the “next relation” function, how to add appointment notes (which can be configured to print on encounter forms to notify providers of important appointment details), and how to force in appointments (if that function is available to the user).

Did you ever wish your superstar billers had more time to work on meaningful tasks like appeals? Partner can help fulfill this wish for more time. New this fall, you can opt to have Partner automatically post insurance payments. You choose which checks to post automatically and, with the push of a button, Partner will post as much as it can
automatically. Then, you'll receive a report of the items you must post manually. Our best test results show that Partner can post over 50% of insurance payments automatically!

Use your staff resources wisely—have your properly trained checkout desk users post charges and collect/apply copays and other time-of-service payments before the patient leaves your office. Pick from the list of checked-in patients (or search for a patient by “magic word” or name) to quickly post diagnoses and procedures, detailed hospital visit information, and payments for today's visit—even print a TOS receipt for your patient. (Partner's “dailycheck” report can be used later to reconcile encounter forms against what was posted in the checkout program.)

This weblab, designed specifically for PCC clients, will walk you through using your Practice Vitals Dashboard, from logging in to interpreting the graphs for a measure of your financial and clinical health. We will also highlight the new A/R Summary and provide an overview of the Advanced Dashboard features which are now available to all PCC clients.

A new Advanced Dashboard feature, the Payor Mix Analysis, will help you find out if you may be eligible for the EHR incentive money provided through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) by allowing you to break down your percentage of Medicaid visits for each provider. We will also discuss other important Advanced Dashboard features including a Provider E&M Coding Analysis, a listing of patients overdue for well visits or flu shots, a Payor Revenue Analysis, and more. Be sure to read our pedsource.com article, Are You Eligible for ARRA funds?, ahead of time to get the basics of ARRA eligibility under your belt before attending.
