Derek Armstrong, CEO Midwest Orthopaedic Center

The Challenge: Midwest Orthopaedic Center (MOC), Peoria, IL, sought to increase transparency and accountability in its revenue cycle processes by implementing a new practice management solution and outsourced billing service. The practice pursued these changes in tandem with an extensive search for an integrated electronic health record (EHR) solution that would enable it to meet the government’s mandate for adoption of EHRs while improving patient safety and quality of care.

The Solutions: After evaluating the quality, features and fit of solutions from many vendors, MOC turned to Pulse Systems for a suite of integrated solutions, including Pulse Revenue Cycle Management Services, PulsePro Practice Management, and Pulse Complete EHR. MOC was impressed with Pulse’s customization and individual attention, where they were treated like a partner, and not a number.

The Results: MOC improved its upfront co-pay collection rates, decreased denials and average accounts receivable (AR) days outstanding, and experienced overall revenue increases due to enhanced billing and collection processes. With the integrated Pulse Complete EHR solution, MOC has successfully earned government incentives and avoided governmental penalties assessed to eligible providers that do not adopt electronic medical records by 2015.

“Pulse is always there to support us in our efforts.”

Best Practices:

Midwest Orthopaedic Center“Besides improving co-pay collection, we see higher collection rates overall because our coding is accurate and Pulse manages our billing and reimbursement.”
