MDeverywhere and SpectraSoft Join Forces to Create a Total Solution

HAUPPAUGE, NY and TEMPE, AZ – MDeverywhere has incorporated SpectraSoft’s best-selling AppointmentsPRO series of scheduling systems as the scheduling component of its Total Solution. Total Solution automates virtually the entire patient management process, significantly reducing the time a practice spends on registration, scheduling and billing which has resulted in dramatically increased net collections and decreased operating costs for medical groups of all sizes.

Patient registration and scheduling data are entered via AppointmentsPRO, and these data are automatically integrated into MDeverywhere’s Palm and Web-based EveryCharge™ product, providing a paperless and virtually error-free billing environment. This fully automated process eliminates hours of repetitive work that most practices currently experience. In addition, many time-consuming office tasks are automated, including the complex scheduling of multi-visit, multi-resource appointments and the generation of appointment reminders via phone, email or letter. With Total Solution, virtually every aspect of the practice operation is tracked, from referral marketing to resource management, with virtually unlimited reporting capability.

To use Total Solution, the office staff simply registers and schedules a patient, and the data automatically flows through for coding at which point the practitioner then codes the charges at the point of care, using EveryCharge™, the Palm and Web-based charge-capture tool including a full LMRP rules engine. These coded encounters are then processed by the MDeverywhere billing system, and in turn are submitted electronically to the appropriate payers resulting in a 55% decrease in denials. A dedicated team of MDeverywhere employees manage all billing functions, including denials, claims rework and appeals processes as needed. Any patient related correspondence or inquiries, as well as payment postings, can be viewed via an electronic ledger, and all practice management reports are available via the web to the practice.

“We are very excited about our Spectrasoft partnership,” said David Fetterolf, President and CEO of MDeverywhere. “Their robust and easy to use scheduling product combined with our palm based charge entry, patient ledger and on-line management report features give our practices the web based front end solution they need to effectively manage their practice and drive their collection rate up.”

“We are thrilled to be working with MDeverywhere,” said Steve Petrie, CEO of SpectraSoft. “We designed AppointmentsPRO to act as a ‘digital hub,’ so that a practice can integrate best-of-breed solutions for all of its needs. The advantage a practice enjoys by combining AppointmentsPRO and Total Solution is a perfect example of what we strive to accomplish for all of our customers.”
