ClaimGear, the courseware version of CollaborateMD, is an enhanced version of our Internet-based practice management and medical billing software used by thousands of physicians across the country. Designed specifically for education use, students working in ClaimGear can input patients, procedure and diagnosis codes, and insurance and patient payments. Both CMS-1500 and 1450 claims can be used, and—once entered into the system—are graded for accuracy and completeness.

Geared for practical application, ClaimGear gives students the capability to validate their claims through the Faciledi HIPAA and Payer Validation Engine, which is a product of Ingenix. This allows students to see real-life errors and problems in their claims based on ANSI, payor specific, and Correct Coding Initiative (CCI) edits. A custom-made Web portal allows students to view test results, and gives instructors the necessary tools to manage and maintain their students and classes.

Corinthian Colleges, Inc. is one of the largest post-secondary education companies in North America, operating 94 schools in 24 states in the U.S. and 32 schools in seven provinces in Canada. To further the Company’s mission of preparing students for advancement in their chosen career, CCi partnered with CollaborateMD in 2006 to offer their students medical billing software uniquely designed for educational use. After ClaimGear was installed at various CCi campuses, Corinthian Colleges, Inc. no longer needed to support the software running on their servers, saving the Company significant time and money. CollaborateMD continues to work directly with CCi to provide continued software support and updates throughout the country.

In 2006, McGraw-Hill contracted CollaborateMD to publish and distribute course books—containing either a three- or six-month ClaimGear license—exclusively to Corinthian Colleges, Inc. for their medical billing and coding educational programs. Approximately 5,000 books are sold each year.

Since ClaimGear was designed to prepare students for prosperous careers in the Healthcare IT industry, CCi graduates often find job placement in practices and billing services that could greatly benefit from the ClaimGear real-world equivalent, CollaborateMD. To reward both the students recommending our product and the offices purchasing our software, CollaborateMD has instituted a special CCi graduate incentive program. Once the requirements of the program are met, CollaborateMD will present $200 to referring students and $100 to new customers. For a list of requirements and more details on the CCi graduate incentive program, please contact us today!
