Larsen Billing Service Chooses CollaborateMD to Improve Net Profitability
Medical Billing Software to Streamline Billing Efficiencies for Nearly 300 Providers
SMITHFIELD, UT. & ORLANDO, FL.—July 30, 2009—CollaborateMD, a leading provider of hybrid SaaS practice management and medical billing software for physician offices and third-party billing services, today accepted the appointment of exclusive medical billing software provider for Larsen Billing Service, the largest midwifery billing service in the United States. Once fully implemented, the utilization of CollaborateMD is expected to significantly lower Larsen’s operating costs based on the CollaborateMD suite of solutions replacing the three disjointed, labor intensive billing systems previously used.
“CollaborateMD is by far the most cost-effective solution on the market - for us as a billing service and for our clients,” said Christine Larsen, Larsen Billing Service President. “We believe that this is the single most important business decision we have ever made, and we are confident that because CollaborateMD is a company with great vision, we will never have a need to look elsewhere.”
In order to optimize financial workflow for their customers, Larsen plans to utilize the full CollaborateMD suite of integrated revenue cycle management solutions which includes, but is not limited to electronic claim submissions, real-time eligibility, electronic remittance advice, electronic patient statements, claim review/scrubbing powered by 3M Health Information Systems, and document imaging and storage. These modules will decrease the amount of time Larsen employees spend compiling reports, gathering claim data from payers, and resubmitting rejected claims, resulting in accelerated cash flow and net profit improvement.
“When Larsen approached us with the goal of optimizing their workflow to maintain and grow their business, we knew our solution would be the perfect fit to meet their short- and long-term goals,” commented Eric Rosselot, CollaborateMD vice president of sales. “Helping our customers lower costs is always a key objective, but working with them to improve net profit to be reinvested in continued growth is even more in line with our Company mantra.”

CollaborateMD Launches New Medical Billing Software Release
New Features in 8.3 Beta to Optimize Customers’ Clinical & Financial Workflow
ORLANDO, FL.—July 21, 2009—CollaborateMD, a leading provider of hybrid SaaS practice management and medical billing software for physician offices and third-party billing services, today announced that the official 8.3 beta release is now available to all customers. Until today, only select customers were offered the beta software update. These customers included those who engaged with CollaborateMD via social media channels such as Twitter and Facebook, subscribed to the Company’s blog, or attended the first annual CollaborateMD user conference this past May.
Patrick Mann, vice president of engineering, had this to say about the initial beta customer invitation process: “The phased approach we’ve implemented is essential to the success of this update. This process ensures our development and quality assurance teams have sufficient time for testing and modifications, while affording customer support and sales teams a longer runway with which to provide live training webinars and on-demand support during migration.”
Unlike with traditional Software as a Service (SaaS) models which often centrally control upgrades without regard to customer readiness, CollaborateMD’s hybrid SaaS software allows customers to control version updates in order to maintain operational stability. Upon installing the newest version, which is available at no additional cost, customers can easily migrate their operations from one version to the next with minimal interruption to their daily workflow.
The 8.3 update contains significant upgrades to existing service offerings and will include key features such as review services with high-level claim scrubbing, custom labels and superbills, enhanced scheduler tools, appointment confirmation, and the CollaborateMD User Portal.
The portal serves as an integrated web-based platform comprised of a suite of tools intended to augment the CollaborateMD practice management and medical billing software package. One such tool—enhanced reporting—provides a more flexible and scalable medium for business intelligence and reporting, allowing for users to build, export, and share rich content reports in a wide variety of formats. CollaborateMD forums, another feature set inside the portal, allow users to gather together, share ideas, collaborate on issues, promote product innovation, and increase awareness and understanding of product features. Additional tools, including NPI registry and the 3M code viewer, are useful for improving data integrity, resulting in fewer rejected claims and increased revenue.
“At the core of our Company vision is the promise to help customers optimize clinical and financial workflow for net profit improvement and enhanced patient care,” commented Douglas Kegler, CollaborateMD founder and CEO. “The features in this release will provide the necessary tools our customers need to do exactly that, and serves as further assurance that we won’t stop working until every customer is fully optimized for success.”
