Innovative solution addresses document management needs for HME suppliers to transform their workplace and solves the Same & Similar dilemma.

McKINNEY, TX (August 23, 2010) – MedAct Software, the premier provider of billing and inventory management solutions to HME/DMEPOS businesses, has added the MedAct Document Manager to their suite of solutions. This is an innovative solution designed to streamline the unique document management requirements of HME suppliers in patient intake that includes physician and insurance documentation. MedAct Document Manager replaces the MedAct Document Imaging Module as it is enhanced to scan, file and save documents to more easily blend into the HME environment. This allows HME suppliers to focus on patient needs while ensuring more efficient file sharing, retrieval and filing during all aspects of managing documents.

In the new MedAct v5.2 release available August 23rd, 2010, the MedAct Document Manager transforms the way HME manages patient intake. Gathering the multitude of required documents from physicians, insurance payers and patients alike is easier with bar-coded documents scanned into MedAct and associated to a specified file. What makes MedAct Document Manager different is that new patient information is processed more quickly and makes document retrieval that much faster for follow up or audits. All documents can easily be accessed, updated, retrieved, and stored safely to make room for more valuable sales space instead of filing cabinets.

In addition to making HME suppliers closer to the elusive paperless office, the MedAct v5.2 release will now make available Claim Status Inquiry access for Same and Similar verification through VisionShare. “We at MedAct recognized that HME suppliers were bound to the IVR to identify if they were going to get paid for a Medicare supplied item. Now MedAct helps eliminate the IVR for one-click access to CSI to check for same or similar status. This area of the HME workflow has been underserved in the past,” said Gregg Timmons, President and CEO of MedAct Software, “and we wanted to create a solution that answered the challenges raised by HME suppliers.”

Terry Henderson, owner of DME Services of Texas stated, “This capability to access CSI for claim status for all my clients has saved my staff 10 hours per week. They can view Medicare eligibility, claim payment, and claim history instantly which results in more productivity with the combination of MedAct and VisionShare.”

The MedAct v5.2 release will target HME suppliers who need to implement a document management strategy in a cost effective manner and for billing professionals to increase their productivity for claims processing. Timmons adds, “Billing professionals and patient intake coordinators will no longer have to waste time with file retrieval, search for lost or misplaced documents or risk not getting paid with any same and similar verification. MedAct v5.2 with CSI access is a turnkey HME business solution.”
