HospitalConnect^TM 

Re-entering data that already exists in a hospital system is unnecessary. Billing and insurance information residing in a hospital system can be extracted, formatted and loaded directly into a Practice Management System. This is very useful for physicians who see all or part of their patients at a hospital.

HospitalConnect^TM can be modified to function in most medical environments and to import and/or export data in any number of data formats or between any two Practice Management Software (PMS).

The following points highlight the main features of the average implementation of Hospital Connect:

Add new patients
The interface will check to see if patients referenced in the hospital file already exist in the PMS, and if they do not, they will be added. The criteria for determining if a patient exists can be modified, yet is typically an exact match on Last Name, First Name, Date of Birth and Social Security Number. All information pertaining to the patient as transmitted in the hospital file is appended to the PMS.
Information regarding existing patients is not normally updated.

Add new Cases
A new case can be created based on established criteria. Often clients wish to have a new case created if the Referring Provider is different than in an existing case, or if the primary insurance is different.

Add new Guarantors
Similar to Patient records, information regarding new guarantors can be appended to the PMS. Existing Guarantor records are normally not updated.

Add new Insurance Carriers
Insurance carriers referenced in the hospital file not existing in the PMS can be added. Criteria for existing carriers are usually based on an insurance code. Existing carriers are not normally updated.

Add Transactions
All transactions for which a procedure code exists in the PMS are appended into the case created on import, or preexisting case. Any transaction for which no procedure code exists in the PMS is normally not added, but rather logged to a report for review. No verification is made to see if transactions preexist, since there is generally no criteria to use to base exclusions (it is feasible for a patient to have the same procedure performed twice or more on the same day by the same doctor). Therefore, all transactions are appended.

Reports

A series of reports identifying new patients, new insurance companies, new referring providers, unmatched CPTs, rejected transactions, and additional diagnosis codes are available, as well as any number of other custom reports to suit the needs of users.
