To give you a full understanding of what CollaborateMD has to offer, we have outlined our individual product features below. Then, to see first-hand how our on-demand solution can benefit your solo practice, check out the benefits tab. For even more information on our practice management software and all of our other offerings, such as P2P+ – which offers E-prescribing, secure messaging, electronic health records (EHR), and additional revenue for online consultations–click on one of the services listed in the green "Services" box to the right.

CollaborateMD has designed one of the most robust appointment schedulers on the market. Unlike competing scheduler modules, our state-of-the-art model allows for customized schedules per resource, custom colors for appointment status, daily and weekly view options, open slot search ability, block times, wait lists, and much more. By customizing your individual office schedules, you can easily manage appointments, add/edit new or existing patients, and verify patient eligibility. These features greatly enhance your office productivity, efficiency and communication to keep things running smoothly.

Our phone notification system allows your office to notify patients of upcoming appointments to reduce staff phone calls and no-shows. Choose what time of day and how soon prior to the appointment you want the system to place the call. Patients are allowed to verify or cancel the appointment by using the keypad on their phone. All results are automatically uploaded directly into the medical office appointment scheduler for maximum convenience.

Inside CollaborateMD, patient data is organized into tabs on the same screen, so you can quickly add, find, or edit what you need without endlessly searching throughout the system or referencing separate software. Point-and-click navigation moves you easily through the patient's demographic information, insurance, financial history, appointments, uploaded documents, eligibility checks, claim and statement activity, and much more.

Verifications, which can take upwards of 15 minutes via phone inquiry, are now reduced to a simple electronic transmission, delivering instant verification of eligibility, coverage, benefits, and other pertinent patient notes from payers. Benefits include saving hours of time spent on the phones or searching for lost patient eligibility records, and greatly reducing debts due to uncollectible accounts receivable.

With our Claim Validation Engine, you can inspect your claims for errors before having them submitted to the clearinghouse. Our validation engine includes hundreds of thousands of edits for CCI-, HIPAA-, and carrier-specific problems. This is just one more way our practice management system helps speed up payments for electronic claims processing.

Reduce denials from the start with our exclusive ClaimTracking tool. CollaborateMD helps you to easily manage and track the life of your claims while we scrub for errors. First, we will thoroughly scrub your claims before submitting them to the clearinghouse, and then we’ll provide detailed reporting via a customizable interface which quickly guides you through making the necessary revisions to accurately submit your claims for adjudication. This translates into knowing which claims were rejected and why, and having the power to correct and resubmit them in real-time with the click of a button.

Claim Control allows users to easily change the status of multiple groups of claims at once. Once your edits have been made, the Claim Control panel is where you can reflag only those claims that need to be resent to the payer, saving you hours in sending claims one at a time.

CollaborateMD automatically distributes CMS-1500 or UB92/04 claims electronically to the correct payer on a daily basis. The key advantage to this feature is that you will no longer have to create claim batches (which could take hours with a competing software), or wait for confirmation that your electronic claims have been sent (which could take days with a competing software). Additionally, we provide clearinghouse reports which explain which claims have been acknowledged and which have been excluded, enabling you to immediately make corrections and resend your claims.

Real Time Adjudication allows you to instantly submit a claim to the insurance company and receive the expected payment or denial within seconds. No longer will you have to wait days or weeks to find out whether the claim was accepted, rejected, or denied.

With our batch EOB posting, you can enter all of the payments from one check at a time. This feature shows you the check amount with the real-time applied and remaining balances. If you need to stop in the middle of posting a check, CollaborateMD will allow you to finish applying your payments at a later time. Once a batch is posted, make any additional changes, or quickly commit the check with the click of a button.

Whether you want to apply payments to a specific line item of a claim or directly to a patient’s account, you’ll find it easy to post insurance payments, patient co-pays and deductibles, or credits and adjustments. Additionally, you can post payments or credits prior to the charge existing, and transfer the payment to the charge once entered.

Automatic posting improves accuracy, reduces labor costs, and shortens the old-fashioned process down to seconds. ERA with auto-apply allows you to receive your remittance advice (EOB) electronically, so you no longer have to wait for them to arrive in the mail. Once received, you can review EOBs directly in the system, and automatically post payments and adjustments to each, by charge. You can also customize workflows based on the remittance advice codes received in the ERA file, and make necessary changes on the fly, resulting in faster patient statement processing.

We'll send out your customizable patient and final demand notice (FDN) statements to help you minimize staff labor, reduce printing and mailing costs, and expedite payment from your patients. To keep your costs low, there is no additional charge for multi-page statements or USPS FASTforwarding. We’ll even include the return mailing envelope to help you get paid faster.

Our batch printing feature allows you to retrieve a group of CMS-1500 or UB92/04 claims, superbills, patient statements, or FDNs, then review and create your own batch for printing all at one time.

CollaborateMD comes with over 75 standard reports to help you better manage your office and accounts receivable. Specify your selection criteria to return only the statistics you want, then run and view multiple reports at once, or export them for use in Microsoft Excel. With the valuable details our reports bring out, your staff can focus on reducing receivables while you increase cash flow.

Easily manage and organize your files, and quickly attach any pertinent image to a single patient record, a claim, a payment, or an EOB. CollaborateMD lets you view scanned documents and images (such as insurance cards, lab results, reports) directly from the patient record—even if they were scanned at another location—streamlining your office for greater efficiency.

Our internal messaging system allows you to securely communicate with the CollaborateMD support and sales departments—as well as with your entire staff—in a secure, HIPAA-compliant environment. This tool is also great for inter-office communication between your front office, billing department and providers without worry of jeopardizing the privacy and security of a patient’s history or records.

Within our administration section, you can set user permissions, determine log-in hours, and reset passwords to better manage and track your users' activity.
