No one likes getting “ghosted” – abruptly being cut off from contact – and that includes when patients don’t show up for appointments. Unfortunately, patient no-shows are common, especially for outpatient clinics, which have an average no-show rate of 27%.
Ophthalmology CPT codes play an essential role in your practice’s workflow. When your team has a solid grasp of them, processing payments and upholding regulatory standards is easy. When they don’t, your administrative processes slow and errors can happen.
Providing excellent healthcare improves a patient’s health today. Empowering patients to play a more active role in their own health journey while delivering quality care enhances well-being for years to come.
The dermatology market is valued at $8.9 billion. Thanks to insurance covering more procedures than ever before and the rise of teledermatology, skin care is only becoming more accessible. Throw in a greater demand for dermatology as the U.S. population ages, and many practices are poised to increase their revenue and impact.
There’s never been a better time than the present to open a med spa. Valued at 18.1 billion in 2023, the industry is booming and growing quickly. However, opening a med spa isn’t an option for everyone. Med spa laws can be tricky to navigate and vary greatly between states.
Payments in healthcare can be complicated, and often, small practices’ revenue cycle management (RCM) systems hinder instead of help. RCM is the business process healthcare providers use to track payment for their services and revenue generated throughout a patient's entire care experience. If your RCM is slow or inefficient, you’re not alone — and there is a way to fix it.
Ophthalmology | EHR | 24H1 OPH Strategy
When selecting an EHR, ophthalmology practices often hear stories about how the new system will save time and bring in patients. Yet, many practices have invested in the wrong system and never live out these success stories. In fact, one 2021 study found the wrong EHR slows down administrative work for ophthalmology practices more than not having a system at all.
Dermatology EHRs have helped practices care for patients for over three decades. Around the 25th anniversary of the invention of all EHR systems, researchers from Sweden and South Africa analyzed how the implementation of these systems was going worldwide. They found many practices didn’t experience increased efficiency from their EHR. Often, this was due to choosing the wrong one. By researching dermatology EHRs before selecting your next system, your practice can avoid this pitfall.
