| Billing |
|
Amelior ED™ supports the billing process for your emergency department by streamlining and organizing the documentation and coding of your emergency patient medical records.
|
| Automated Coding |
|
Amelior ED™ integrates professional and facility codes into the patient chart as your clinicians chart. These include ICD-9 and CPT-4 codes. PCTS maintains a coding database that stays abreast of coding changes. Moreover, documentation is organized to support the maximum eligible billing for each encounter and automatic prompts will appear to alert physicians of documentation opportunities prior to closing the chart. Together, these tools provide a new level of coding support to ensure optimum billing.

| Facility Charge Capture |
|
Supplies are automatically summarized for procedures ensuring that there are no more missed supply counts for a procedure. For example, when a Foley catheter, or other nurse procedure, is documented in the Amelior ED® patient care system, a record of supplies used is automatically entered by the system which can often be overlooked in manual documentation. For example, when multiple IV sticks occur, each stick is counted in the supply summary.

| Medical Record Documentation |
|
The billing process is further supported by the clarity and organization of the documentation. If there is a need to access the record or include a portion of the record with the billing records, a complete patient record is always available.
|
| Reimbursement |
|
To be truly effective, a billing process must be successful at collecting eligible billings in a timely manner. With Amelior ED™, the documentation quality improvements and automated coding streamlines the process for submitting bills to third party payors and provides the thoroughness of documentation to support billing claims.
|
| Audit Support |
|
Preparation for a billing audit is simplified through the ability to access and organize medical records quickly for any time interval. The data can be segmented at different levels of granularity depending upon the type of information that is being sought. Ie. medical records by patient name, clinician, date range, diagnosis type and more.
