T-System, perhaps best known for its emergency department (ED) documentation solutions, is the first ED vendor to tie clinical expertise to revenue cycle management. Patient documentation is tightly linked to a hospital's and physician's financial performance because quality information captured during the care process is critical to ensure accurate coding and, ultimately, optimal reimbursement. T-System will provide guidance and feedback to hospitals and physician groups to optimize their financial performance and regulatory compliance through every stage of the revenue cycle -- beginning with patient registration and ending with payment collection for services rendered.
T-System RevCycle+ includes:
Sophisticated web-based software uses proven algorithms and more than 3.5 million coding rules to ensure accuracy and compliance. In addition to providing accurate E&M and procedure codes, the system produces flexible diagnosis and observation coding to ensure hospitals and physicians can appropriately bill for the care provided.
With ambiguous coding rules for facilities and constantly changing regulations, many organizations struggle with finding qualified ED coders and keeping them adequately trained. RevCycle+ relieves this burden, which will become exacerbated when the new ICD-10 codes are mandated.
Numerous companies provide professional coding and billing services, but many lack the sophistication to ensure adequate reimbursement. T-System's combination of consulting and clinical expertise bolsters the quality of this service.
T-System clinical and coding professionals provide strategic guidance customized to an organization's needs.
