Just as you are a specialist in your field, MedData is specialized in Emergency Departments. We have highly trained staff and innovative technology that allows you and your partner’s the ability to focus on patient care while we focus on being the best at coding, billing and data management.

As a part of Practice Management MedData offers you:

Documentation Feedback

With tighter industry regulations on coding and billing procedures, accurate documentation is crucial for the continued success of an emergency medicine practice. MedData provides guidance to physicians to help them understand how payers view their medical records for payment and to ensure their medical records reflect appropriate documentation for the services they provide, while meeting all compliance regulations. This includes review of medical records and preparing of reports to the physician and/or their group regarding trends in documentation deficiency, such as undocumented length of lacerations, review of systems or other aspects of medical decision making.

This results in:

• Consistently accurate coding.
• Submission of "clean" claims, vastly reducing processing time and cost to payers and helping clients perform efficiently.
• Third party payers' payments processed in accordance with all contractual agreements.
• Stronger information-gathering abilities for the drafting of data reports that support physicians' efforts to improve the quality      and cost-effectiveness of care.
• Ensures that physicians are not underpaid for the work that they provide.
• Consistency in documentation among physicians reduces complaints from repeat patients.

Consulting on Managed Care and Other Contract Issues

Managed care need not be viewed as a liability looming on the horizon. MedData considers managed care a potential benefit to those with access to data necessary for negotiating favorable contracts. Since 1985, we've taken an active role in assisting clients to better understand the terms and expectations of managed care contracts.

We help clients select the managed care organizations that will most benefit their business. Our comprehensive consulting
process includes:

• Reviewing contracts carefully, making sure they are specific to the needs and idiosyncrasies of emergency medicine
• Providing the data necessary for understanding reimbursement per visit and how that compares to what the client is                 currently receiving
• Closely monitoring allowables to ensure compliance with the contract
• Monitoring denials, ensuring payers are not wrongfully denying claims for emergency department visits
• Researching the expected benefits, then pushing payers to comply with both their contracts and state laws (they often               comply with neither)
