Friendly Reminder - Live Webinar Today - “Finally, A Rule We Can All Make Meaningful Sense Of”

nicoleherman_cmd — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 14:27:15 +0000

On July 16, 2010, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) announced a final rule to implement provisions of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009 that provide incentive payments for the meaningful use of EHR technology. This program will provide these payments to eligible professionals, hospitals, and other organizations that utilize certified EHR systems. EHR technology that has been qualified for meaningful use is one aspect of the health information technology infrastructure needed to assist in healthcare reform and to improve the overall quality of healthcare.

Today, Monday, August 23, CollaborateMD is hosting a LIVE educational webinar to breakdown the true meaning of the final rule on meaningful use. Rosemarie Nelson is back to not only examine the objectives and measures, but also to help you use your system to collect valuable information. Attend this complimentary webinar to determine your action plan for achieving meaningful use of your EHR.

During this webinar, Rosemarie will show you how to:

Understand eligibility criteria.
Develop your action plan to qualify for up to $44,000 under the Medicare program and up to $63,750 under Medicaid.
Help you to determine the necessary steps to achieve meaningful use of your EHR.

Testimonial- “I owe a great part of my success to CollaborateMD”.

admin — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 19:11:01 +0000

“My experience with Collaborate MD has been wonderful! Being a healthcare provider myself in the past, I knew firsthand what I needed and what I was looking for in starting up my own medical billing service. I owe a great part of my success to Collaborate MD. They are so dependable, supportive, and they have the most user-friendly medical billing software I have ever used. The remote capabilities allowed my clients easy-to-use access as well, and this alone allowed my business to thrive and grow throughout the US. I had no boundaries!

The support you will find with this company is awesome. The response time is very reasonable and they do not nickel and dime you for every issue you experience. The statements are extremely professional and easy to understand. The software itself is easy to use and is very helpful in keeping you on track with denied claims. Without this great software, I would not be where I am today with my billing service! I want to thank all of the staff at Collaborate MD for being there for me. You’ve made my dreams come true!”
