July 12, 2004 - Ingenious Med, Inc. announces a new strategic alliance
with CodeCorrect, Inc. to offer comprehensive, Web-based healthcare coding
reimbursement intelligence. This partnership will further strengthen Ingenious
Med’s charge capture suite by adding correct coding and compliance editing to
produce cleaner claim submissions.
In a continued effort to improve point-of-care charge capture as well as the
collections process, Ingenious Med’s CEO, Steven Liu, MD says “We were looking
for the other part of the equation. We were already helping users capture
charges effectively, but we wanted to further help them increase collections
and decrease denials. With CodeCorrect, we can now make it effortless to submit
the right charges – and quickly.” Under the terms of the agreement, IMBILLS –
Web Edition users will gain a more detailed resource with the addition of
CodeCorrect’s KnowledgeSourceTM PRO, an online
coding reference database. Additionally, CodeCorrect’s Integrated CodeCheckTM
validation engine provides real-time code review of charges created at the
bedside, eliminating the reworking and review often required by billing
department professionals.
Ingenious Med’s suite of products has been acclaimed for its intuitive
interface and ability to keep pace with busy physicians. Since 2001, physicians
have enjoyed the improved patient care, enhanced productivity and coding
compliance made possible with the use of Ingenious Med’s IMMasterCoder, IMBILLS
- Office, and IMBILLS - Web Edition. CodeCorrect’s validation protocols will
also effectively leverage Ingenious Med’s existing Evaluation & Management
tool, IMMasterCoder. Together, these validation tools will provide proper
integration between level assessment and documentation processes using
real-time coding alerts to further augment users’ return on investment.
“CodeCorrect is excited to be a vital component of Ingenious Med's online
solution for improving charge capture”, states CodeCorrect CEO, Kerry Martin.
With the buffer of grace periods going away, an unprecedented level of pressure
is on physician groups and hospitals to deal effectively with regulatory change
and coding complexity. CodeCorrect and its proven Internet delivery system for
coding and reimbursement intelligence will clearly enable Ingenious Med’s
customers to thrive.
