CollaborateMD Releases 8.3 Version of Medical Billing Software to All Users

Wednesday, October 21st, 2009

Three-month Beta Period Exceeds User Expectations
ORLANDO, FL. – October 21, 2009 – CollaborateMD, a leading provider of hybrid SaaS practice management and medical billing software for physician offices and third-party billing services, today rolled out the stable release of 8.3, an update that remained in beta for the past three months while users were encouraged to test and report their experiences.

In addition to stringent internal testing by CollaborateMD’s quality assurance department, feedback was collected from customers via the newly launched user portal forums which enables users to gather together, share ideas, collaborate on issues, promote product innovation, and increase awareness and understanding of product features. Responses were carefully monitored by the production and development teams, and necessary changes were quickly made.

“After such a successful beta launch,” commented Patrick Mann, CollaborateMD vice president of engineering, “we have been anticipating a smooth, highly controlled release of 8.3. As our production and support teams oversee this roll-out, our software engineers are already hard at work on future releases.”

As a benefit of CollaborateMD’s hybrid SaaS platform, customers are able to control version updates in order to maintain operational stability. Upon installing the newest version, which is available at no additional cost, users can easily migrate their operations from one version to the next with minimal interruption to their daily workflow.

The 8.3 release contains significant upgrades to existing service offerings and includes 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.
