With color-coded screens, instant alert messages, practice-defined rules and helpful wizards, all of your employees-including temporary help-will complete everyday tasks quickly and accurately.

Installation is easy, Cerner takes care of training and computer support, walking your staff members through the solution set until they are comfortable.

And Cerner can host the data for you, so backups, upgrades and updates are automatic, keeping maintenance to a minimum. The system is reliable. We guarantee it will be up to 99 percent of the time during regular business hours.

Keeping you organized
You can use the solution to organize your daily tasks so that you can focus on what's important. You’ll know at a glance when new insurance reports arrive, the status of your claim batches and which follow-up calls or patient commitments are scheduled for the day. Features like our innovative Patient Monitor-a visual practice dashboard- will help you quickly organize your entire office.

Improving cash flow
Industry studies show it costs approximately $15 to get a clean claim paid. Costs rise significantly each time you have to fix or resubmit a claim.

Specialty PM eliminates the common mistakes that prevent or delay insurance reimbursement, saving you time and money. It starts with registration and scheduling. Our solution helps you gather patient, responsible party and insurance policy information.

The solution alerts you during scheduling and check-in if a patient's insurance company requires authorization and prompts front-desk personnel to collect patient co-pays or outstanding balances at the time of service.

Integrated solutions
Integrating the solution with PowerWorks EMR automates coding, speeds claim filing and keeps you from having to manage encounter forums or manually enter charges.

PowerWorks' HIPAA-compliant transaction services allow your practice to send an unlimited number of claims and receive insurance explanation of benefits electronically.

With an Internet connection, you can use the solution to get real-time updates on claim status. With most payers, you can have your claims adjudicated, paid and posted weeks sooner than a paper-based system.
