ACOM Health, the market leader in chiropractic software, announced this week that another chiropractor received the maximum $18,000 EHR incentive payment for 2011.
Chiropractors are eligible to receive EHR incentive payments (up to $44,000) per provider on Medicare Part B claims. And, ACOM Health's RAPID Chiropractic EHR software makes the process painless.
"There is no denying that these payments are real," says Sam Mikhail, vice president of sales for ACOM Health. "Our chiropractors are receiving substantial payment sums and are able to put the money to good use."
For instance, this most recent chiropractor, Dr. David Arnold of Rockingham, NC, plans to reinvest the money in his practice. "Putting the money back into the business is the best investment we can make," Dr. Arnold says.
Dr. Arnold's wife, Katherine, is the office manager and worked closely with ACOM Health to achieve and demonstrate meaningful use needed to collect on these payments. "The training and coaching programs were comprehensive and easy to understand, and the personal support and resources were more than I could have asked for," explains Katherine. "I just cannot say enough good things about ACOM Health – I have to be their number one fan."
And, it's not just about the money. Dr. Arnold and staff report that they have also received positive feedback from personal injury regarding outstanding treatment notes, insurance firms regarding accuracy of claims, and patients regarding the ease of the kiosk. "Overall, RAPID has helped us to improve our professional image. Patients see how easily their records are updated and insurers and personal injury firms are amazed by how complete and detailed the documentation is," says Katherine.
Efficient time management is key to a practice's success. Katherine reports that this new software system saves at least 2.5 hours per patient record when preparing treatment note for attorneys or insurance companies. Dr. Arnold sees the many benefits as well and reveals that this new system provides a much better set of checks and balances between treatment and accurate billing. The transition to ACOM Health was nearly effortless.
"For those chiropractors who have been sitting on the sideline, now is the time to act," urges Mikhail. "If you do not have a certified EHR system up and running in 2012, you will miss out on the Early Adoption bonus which could be as much as $5,000. 2012 is the last year for chiropractors to qualify for the maximum amount. Another reason to act now is some of the end-of-year programs that ACOM Health has in place like its Pain-Free No Credit Check Payment program which makes the system affordable to any practice regardless of its size or credit history."
ACOM Health also recently announced a "limited time" EHR payment program that guarantees incentive payment for 2012 for doctors that purchase the RAPID system between now and the end of the year and complete the ACOM Health training and coaching program. If after completing all the required steps, the doctor does not receive incentive payment for 2012, ACOM will refund 100% of the money invested in the RAPID system. "That is BIG news and we are not aware of any other Chiropractic EHR software that is offering anything close. So with these end-of-year offers, you will get a proven EHR system that is affordable and guaranteed," says Mikhail.
