What EastMD™ Can Do For You

Whether you’re currently using medical management software program or you’re new to practice management systems, EastMD will save you time and money. EastMD’s intuitive interface is broken into easy-to-use modules:

Make, move, cancel, track and reschedule appointments using EastMD’s easy-to-use Appointment Scheduler. Schedule new patient appointments quickly and find the next available appointment with a click of a button.
Find any patient at the touch of a button using advanced search queries in the Patient Module. Keep a complete patient database with demographic and insurance information, including the information that is required on the HCFA 1500 form.
Keep a complete record of the patient’s encounter in Ticketing. All diagnoses, charges, and payments are entered on the ticket. The ticket leaves a permanent record of all of the transactions related to the patient per visit. Print walkout statements for the patient to take home.
Using the Reports Module, you can produce more than 75 standard reports and hundreds of custom reports that help you analyze and run your practice. For example: the Payment Report helps balance all payments; the Log Report shows what information was input by each user; the Patient Ledger Report can be sent to patients for tax purposes; the Collection Report groups past due payments by insurance companies; and the Capitation Report tells you if your practice is making money on your capitation plan.
File insurance claims in Claims Processing. Simply press the “transmit” button to send claims electronically. Batch print and batch submit claims to insurance companies. View claims that were not properly processed and see why. You no longer have to wait to print and mail claims.
The Statement Processing module generates statements for all patients with balances. The statements can include all charges, payments, adjustments, and messages. EastMD also provides aging for accounts. For delinquent accounts, a pre-defined comment can be printed on the statement to notify patients of their account status.
With the Capitation module, you can distribute an insurance company payment to multiple patient tickets and captivated charges in minutes.
The Batch Posting module allows you to disperse an entire insurance company payment to several different patient tickets with just a few clicks. Select the tickets and quickly post the payments and adjustments according to the Explanation of Benefits received with the payment. After posting the payments, the appropriate transaction codes and amounts are automatically added to the tickets.

How EastMD™ works in your office..

Appointment Requested
When a patient calls to make an appointment, select a time on the appointment grid and double-click, or select the “Next Available” option. You can set aside time for specific types of appointments by creating Group Reservations. Blocking a time on a provider’s schedule is also possible, which allows you to note when a provider will be unavailable for appointments at each location. You can make, move, reschedule and track patients in the scheduler.
Patient Information
Get a patient’s demographic, insurance, and claims information, and enter it into the patient information screens. You can update patient information at any time.
Encounter Form Printed
Once you have entered the patient information, you can print the encounter forms for the patients being seen during that or the next day. You can then note all of the services provided on the encounter form. This information is then used to create the patient’s ticket.
Encounter Form Reviewed and Transactions Posted
All diagnoses, charges, payments, and other transactions are entered on the ticket after the encounter form is reviewed. This keeps a complete record of the patient encounter. If the patient owes a co-pay or a specific percentage of procedure, this information is noted in the patient information, displayed on the ticket, and can be collected at the time of the encounter. After the information is entered, a walkout statement can be printed from the Ticket Module for the patient to keep.
Insurance Claims Prepared
Store insurance claims information in Claims Processing. After the ticket has been created, it will appear in Claims Processing with a status of “Posted”. This is where you will file your claims (either electronically or by using paper HCFA forms). Claims Processing allows you to gather all of the claims together in the grid and batch print and batch submit claims. After the claims are transmitted, the claim’s status is changed to “Filed” for quick reference. EastMD also allows you to print the claims grid so you can keep track of the claims that were submitted on a specific day.
Payments Received from Insurance Carrier
When a check from the insurance company comes in, payments can easily be posted to the patient’s tickets. The Ticket Module can be used to post individual payments to individual tickets. Batch Posting allows you to post a lump insurance payment to multiple tickets and to post adjustments simultaneously. Capitation is used to post captivated charges and adjustments. If you need to resubmit the claim, you can change the status to “Posted” and resubmit it with more information or documentation.
Secondary Insurance Claims Filed
After a primary insurance payment is posted, the claim can be filed with the secondary insurance. Select the “secondary” option in claims processing and simply print the secondary claims
Statements Sent to the Patient
Statement Processing is used to send statements to the patient after all insurance claims have been filed. By sending patient statements, you can also make patients aware of their financial responsibility. This allows you to collect payments from patients for procedures that may not have been covered by the insurance company.
Patient Payments Received
When patient payments are received, they can be posted on the ticket as “patient payment”.
Creating Reports
EastMD’s reporting capabilities allow you to keep track of the appointments, transactions and receivables for all of the patients in the system. Reports authorize you to view the status of all of the individual patient encounters and to keep track of the business aspects of your practice. You can create receivables and collections reports to keep track and monitor the status of your practice.

Q: How secure is my data over the Internet?
A. EastMD is not delivered through your browser, but via a direct connection from your workstation to a highly protected environment using the Internet as a conduit. Our technology creates a secure pipeline that transports data past the cluttered, busy World Wide Web, allowing you to avoid contact with viruses, spyware, SPAM, and other unwanted Web browser traffic. Our system operates in the same environment commonly used by the Defense Department and Federal Reserve to handle their information transfers. All data stored in EastMD is encrypted using 128 bit Secure Socket Layer (SSL), the highest form of data encryption available on the Internet today. Algorithms scramble data so that unauthorized users cannot view it, keeping your patient data safe from data pirates or hackers.

Q: How often is my data backed up?
A. As an ASP, HealthOne Medical Centers has multiple servers in multiple structures throughout the country. The security of these structures is never compromised and always strictly controlled. Our servers are configured according to Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) Level 5, which distributes data across several hard drives and provides for its recovery if it is lost. In addition, we continuously perform backups, security and fault tolerance checks. A full backup is conducted in high capacity digital tape at the end of every alternate business day, and a differential backup is performed on the days in between. This not only ensures the safety of your data, but releases you from performing backups yourself.

Q: What is an ASP?
An ASP, or Application Service Provider, is an information technology company that pre-integrates best-of-class packaged applications. The ASP hosts, monitors, and manages these applications to their customers on a subscription basis. ASPs release customers from both capital investment and operating costs associated with owning software or hardware and employing resources to manage the information infrastructure.

EastMD has the following basic hardware and software requirements. EastMD can run in slightly slower systems, but we highly recommend components that meet these requirements:

  • RAM: 256 MB

  • Internet Connection: Dependant on the number of workstations. See the next question for more information.
  • Video Card: An SVGA-compatible video card with 256 colors or more.

  • 4-5 workstations: SDSL/IDSL at 144Kb or higher
