Scheduler

MedStar’s Scheduler has a customizable scheduling feature supporting weekly and daily templates, categories, events, resources and transportation. MedStar has developed an installation wizard that simplifies the set-up of schedule templates by prompting the user with booking parameters to define the practice schedule by resource. Furthermore, the Scheduler has its own customizable reporting capabilities, which allows the user to create reports related to the appointment process.

Contracts

MedStar’s Contract module allows the user to enter rules for each contract and insurance carrier tied to that contract. This module applies the rules to the end user and ties in important information like authorization requirements directly to MedStar’s Scheduler. In addition, it allows the user to implement billing restrictions like provider credentialing restrictions, procedure/diagnosis relationship rules, and different mailing addresses for claims processing.

Custom Claim Configurations

MedsStar’s Custom Claim Configuration tool enables the user to point and click on a box of the CMS 1500 form, and change the default value to a different data element to comply with an insurance carriers claim processing requirements. Changes can be made to a combination of Primary and Secondary insurance claims, as well as, paper and electronic claims. This tool gives the user the ability to comply with the ever-changing format requests of insurance carriers.

Superbill Form Wizard

MedStar’s Superbill Form Wizard allows the user to create multiple-types of superbills specific to their practice. The practice preprinted superbill prints header or footer information from the patient demographics and leaves the rest of the form blank so it can be printed on whatever forms the practice utilizes. The custom formatted superbill allows the user to map where fields print on the form. This superbill also prints with a standard header and three columns for selecting CPT and DX Codes to print. In addition, the practice can create multiple superbills linked to particular resources that will integrate with the Scheduler for reason specific visits.

Patient Folder

MedStar’s Patient folder puts all information related to a patient in one place. It allows the user easy access to a patient’s demographics, insurance, financial, transcription, authorizations, statement history, and office notes.

Encounter Details

MedStar’s Encounter Details screen contains the complete listing of transactions posted to a claim including a full audit trail of who entered the encounter and on what date, when it was submitted, if it was paid or denied, and the balance. This comprehensive view of the claim provides invaluable information and accountability in an easy to read format.

Reimbursement Manager

MedStar’s Reimbursement Manager is a proprietary tool that allows a practice to provide superior accounts receivable management. The system sorts claims denied or not responded to, on a screen by payor, doctor, hospital, office, date of service, date of submission, and several other critical references. By doing this you do not have to rely on voluminous accounts receivable reports or your collections personnel to tell you WHERE THE MONEY IS!

Report Star (Custom Report Writer)

MedStar’s ReportStar is a dynamic, easy to use reporting tool. It allows the user to create a catalog of custom reports to answer today’s complex questions in a medical practice. Each report can be configured to sort or group information, sum financial fields, or calculate fields. The user can output the report to the screen for viewing, print it to paper, export it as an ASCII file, or export it to Microsoft Excel.
