No Code, No Charge Left Behind: White Plume Technologies' Solutions
Birmingham, AL (March 15, 2011) – The age old problem of expensive, time-consuming and error prone manual charge entry and coding has been solved for physician practices. Today, nearly ten years after being developed by White Plume Technologies, a suite of simple yet powerful software solutions are being used by physicians over 1 million times every week to electronically deliver correctly coded charges to their billing systems.
These solutions serve as a productive, easy-to-use enhancement to existing EMR systems or as an important and easy first step toward EMR implementation. Among White Plume’s ePASS suite offerings are AccelaPASS, AccelaSCAN, AccelaCAPURE, and AccelaSMART.
Regardless of physician preferences, White Plume has a solution that can be uniquely designed to meet physician and practice needs. AccelaPASS is designed for practices that already have an EMR installed and enables automatic routing for EMR-based charge data information to our sophisticated coding resolution engine—AccelaSMART. AccelaSCAN utilizes paper superbills to scan the charge data into an electronic format. AccelaCAPTURE introduces an electronic superbill where the physician can point and click to select corresponding procedure (CPT) and diagnosis (ICD-9) codes.
New to White Plume’s offerings is AccelaMOBILE. This cloud-based application allows physicians to use any mobile device (e.g., iPhone, Android, iPad, tablet, laptop) for any type of remote charge capture: inpatient, surgery center, nursing home, assisted living, or home visits.
Over 7,000 health care providers have subscribed to White Plume solutions in order to decrease insurance denials, increase revenue, reduce AR, and save staff and physician time.
Market data suggests that an estimated 70-75 percent of providers continue to use traditional paper superbills to manually capture charge data. Such practices have higher denied claims, lost revenue, overtime hours, disgruntled patients, and higher accounts receivable in comparison to practices utilizing the technological solutions.
“Much of the software that is being sold to physicians today requires them to make substantial and non-productive changes to their workflow, decreases their productivity, and asks them to bear all of the economic risk” says Don Menendez, CEO of White Plume Technologies. “The real beauty of our solution is that physician practices, regardless of size or specialty, are able to realize tangible, hard dollar benefits the very first month that they use our software without making significant changes to what they already do well.”
