So let's chat for a moment. Ok, 5010 First... Yes, it is a bit annoying and not as fun as everyone hoped it would be, but it

Sometimes the best presents are the ones we allow ourselves. Christmas time is special.  No matter what your religious affiliations (or not) are, no matter how much you love or hate shopping or snow, Christmas time is the best time of the year.  It’s a shame that it has become so commercialized, politicized, and contentious in word and symbol that it has become nearly ostracized.  For such a

Ok, technically CMS just issued a teaser of their final Medicare payments rule which is due to finalized and out November 28, 2011.  But when you really look at it and think about it, it really is a threat of you vs. the federal government.  At the beginning of this month CMS (Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services) released a final rule stating that unless Congress does something by January 1,

Ok, you are probably going to have raised an eyebrow by now.  Good.  You doctors are trained to help people and save lives and we all know this, but what about the rest of your office staff?  Patients don’t come to your office because they feel good.  Heck, if they’re as bad as me, they won’t show up until they are dying or practically dead.  That being the case, are your staff trained as first

If you haven’t already registered and if you are not meaningfully using your EHR 2011 is no longer an option for you.  You needed to report for 90 days this year and you would have to have registered and been using by the beginning of October to qualify for the 2011 payouts.

Per an article by Sheri Porter on the AAFP website, Medicare is making a change to the RAC programs that might help out family physicians and their offices, beginning January 3, 2012.

I’m sure you know how hard it is to find a good practice management (PM) system (when I say “good”, I mean gets you paid” AND makes your office life easier, not harder).  But now your life has just gotten complicated again.  Now you are being told that you need to have and use an EHR in your office.  Ok, even if you don’t give a hoot about participating in meaningful use.  The fact still remains

It shouldn’t be like pulling teeth to do a backup.  Nobody wants to get their teeth pulled out, it hurts!  So why is making a daily backup like pulling teeth in most offices?  As kids my mom tried to help us remember to do daily things like brushing and flossing by having us mark a calendar with cute stickers we could earn when we had done it.  We could have stickers for every day, MTWTFSS.  It

EHR’s can be a lifesaver as new convert St. John's Regional Medical Center in Joplin, Mo found out last month when it became part of Joplin’s tornado disaster.  According to an iHealthBeat article, the hospital had just converted to EHR 3 weeks prior to the tornado that wiped out and spread its paper records as far away as 75 miles.

How serious is the government about you instituting high tech solutions (read this as EHR) into your office?  Well let’s just say that this first phase of Obamacare is heading straight for you and your office like a runaway train with a nuke on its heels. If the billions of dollars they have spent and are planning to spend through the ARRA stimulus package aren’t enough.  Then you may want to

Remember the other day when I said that the projected pay cut for today would be 23% if nothing was done to extend your Medicare payment benefits? Well, I forgot about the additional 2% lollypop they threw in on the last pass. The actual pay cut would have been 25%! It's a good thing then that Congress acted quickly upon returning to session Monday (Nov 29th). So, here's the breakdown:

At Genius Solutions we understand that the end of the year can be a very stressful time for your office.  In hopes of streamlining your process we have come up with these recommends to close out last year properly.  We do not recommend posting any of next year’s charges until these steps have been completed.  During this process everyone should be out of THOMAS, and this checklist should be

As most of you are well aware, it took about six months to get a longer than 1 month extension to stave off the Medicare pay cuts earlier this year. Well, that extension is about to expire next Tuesday, November 30th, 2010, at the end of the day. So, what can you expect? Well, I would expect things to go about the same as earlier this year. Considering that this is a holiday weekend and the

Normally your equipment will plug into the battery backup and then the battery backup will plug into the wall. Most of the time you can get battery backups that will also feature

You can tell by looking at your 835 if a claim was sent on paper, because there will be NO account
