Fairly versatile, some good reports,merge for billing, appointment and follow-up letters,plain paper and red HCFA forms, and good interface for electronic billing to clearing house. Once you've purchased the software (fairly economical, I think around $800 for multi-user version), you need a clearing house contract.We used NDC who bought out Lytec (and who inserted their connection into the program, although their service is not obligatory) and has since been bought out by another clearing house.Clearing house costs us $90/month for 2 Docs and unlimited electronic claims-small charge for anything they have to print. Initial install comes with all current ICD-9 and CPT, but you have to update them manually each year for your specialty. It has some glitches (like requiring frequent "rebuild" of data to keep database accurate), but nothing's perfect. Back up of data is easily done on a zip disk (we do it daily) with MS Backup. I've also heard of Medisoft, and some others, but Lytec's been OK so far. Good luck. Has anyone had experience with paperless office? What do you do with the hand-helds that is superior to written records? >Back to this subject! > >It looks loke the Athena and NueMD are systems that are not in house >(exactly) they are on servers elsewhere and you use it "on line" > >I have been doing billing etc all in house with MediSense.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
