It’s really good to have you here this afternoon. It’s Jason Barnes and joining me, as always, is my illustrious co-host to these webinars, Jessica Pancoast, the head of the training and help desk teams here at Vericle. We’re really excited to have everyone and this has been a hot topic. And so we are excited to talk about ICD-10 one more time. And so this will be a recap of a lot of the other webinars that you’ve seen including some of the system updates and what we’ve learned so far. It will not include all of the content because we won’t be doing things like macros today. We are just gonna include the actual system functionality for finding codes, choosing your ICD-10 codes based on your ICD-10s, how to search ICD-10 codes when you’re not cross walking over from an ICD-9 code and making sure that you know how to save those codes, save the searches and group them however you’d like to. So we’ve had some updates there and we’re really excited to share those today. Not only that, if you have not yet actually created those hierarchies in your system, we’re gonna show you how you can go about doing that with a test patient, and to kick it all off we’re actually gonna show you how to find your most popularly used or frequently used ICD-9 codes so you know which ones need to be mapped over. Jess, anything to add? Jessica: No, I think that covers everything that we need to go over. Jason: That’s what we’re planning on doing today. So, thank you for joining us and we’re just gonna dive right into it. Today everyone watching should be familiar with the screen that’s up. This is a fake patient where we are looking at the travel card. You can see there’s x-rays, there’s no ICD-10 or ICD-9 information, and we’re gonna go over that functionality. But before we get into that we actually want everyone to take a break and think about this process as a whole. In order to figure out which codes you’re gonna need to select so that you’re ready to more readily choose your ICD-10 codes, I wanna to take you into another system. This is actually a real practice in our system that we’re showing you right now. All the names have been changed so that we’re not using anybody’s real practice information, but this is the last year worth of billing information by diagnosis code. Our recommendation is that you run a billing status report to find out which ICD-9 codes you most frequently use because what we found is, although there are a number, 10,977 visits with 11,150 code selections used, there were only 40 total diagnosis codes used last year by this practice. And if you look at them by percentage, a vast majority of those visits were covered by 10 codes, 8 codes. So what we want you to do is know how to find out what those codes are for your office. To do that, you head to reports, go down to Billing Analytics, choose your billing stats report that’s how we got here. In the bottom of this report, I recommend going back one year, but six months should be adequate, you change the date range and most importantly you have to choose Diagnosis 1. Now, this might not exist in your drop-down or pop-up, in this case of selections. If it does not that is not a problem, you go back to reports…back to Billing Analytics and then choose your billing stats configuration report. This billing stats config right here will allow you to actually choose Diagnosis 1, make a name for it, save that name and then you’ll have to go back refresh your billing status report and that way you’ll be able to access that new code that you’ve just created for your billing status report. In this case, let’s make a note that 739.1 is the most commonly used code by this particular office. A high-volume office who sent out over 2345 claims in the last year with this diagnosis code on. Jessica, do you have anything else on the billing stats. Jessica: No, that explains all. The only thing I can think of is you wanna make sure that Insurance Only and Pip Only is unchecked down the bottom. Jason: Unchecked, great clarification, thanks. Okay, so getting back to it we want you to be able to create a hierarchy, create favorite codes that will allow you not have to search each time you have a new patient or an existing patient that walks through your door to know what your 739.1 equivalent or equivalents will be in ICD-10. So we’re actually gonna walk you through that process, but the first thing we need to let you know about the three areas where ICD-10 codes are going to be relevant to you. The first you’re gonna see is the ICD-10 traffic light which I am highlighting right now with my mouse. We’re not gonna click on that just yet but most things in our systems that have a color associated with it are drillable or clickable, you can click on those things. The second are the two lines right here where you used to see just your ICD-9 codes, but now you’ll see both ICD-9s and ICD-10s. And then, in two other places, you’re gonna get the same exact interface, both the Diagnoses tab as well as your EMR Assessment tab. And everyone
A New Webinar Teaches How to Use Checklists to Accelerate Chiropractic Office Growth
Checklist Technology Is Now Available in Genesis Chiropractic Software CLEARWATER, FLORIDA (PRWEB) JULY 17, 2015 As long as practice owners don’t realize they have a problem, they don’t feel the need to solve it. This new webinar educates providers about how can they measure and rate the efficacy of their process or staff and how can they use checklist technology to establish repeatable, scalable, and effective processes. Learn about it here. To run a successful practice, complex processes need to be repeated for each patient treatment and billing lifecycles. – Jason Barnes, COO According to Jason Barnes, COO for Genesis Chiropractic Software, running a practice is not just about treating patients. “To run a successful practice, complex processes need to be repeated for each patient treatment and billing lifecycles,” says Barnes. “For every process in the office that requires a repeat group of tasks to be completed, e.g., patient intake, open a task checklist that assigns the work to the appropriate personnel with the correct tasks, priorities, and ability to measure completion. These checklists are created one time and can be opened multiple ways.” About Genesis Chiropractic Software and Billing Precision, LLC: Genesis Chiropractic Software by Billing Precision was designed by chiropractic business owners with both patient experience and practice profitability in mind. Genesis chiropractic software provides a complete chiropractic practice management system that supports every role in a busy chiropractic practice, from the owner and practitioners to the front desk and back office.

ICD-10 for Chiropractic Practices is now upon you
A valid ICD-10 code will be required on all claims starting on October 1, 2015. ICD-10: Is your practice ready for this challenge? View this webinar to see how easy your transition to the new coding system will be using Genesis chiropractic billing software. Genesis displays the old ICD-9 codes that you know and shows you the corresponding new ICD-10 codes as well. See what Genesis has built for you to get paid in full and on-time! Read the transcript: Jason: All right, I think we are ready to get started, Jess. Thanks for joining me today. Jess: No problem. Jason: All right. My name is Jason Barnes. I’m the Chief Operating Officer here, and with me, I’ve got Jessica Pancoast, and she heads up our help desk and training team. So she is one of the best resources that we have for the system as well as one of our project managers whenever it comes to huge transitions. She’s one of our go-to resources that make sure that we’ve got our ducks in a row to help our clients make good choices and be informed while we’re making huge transitions. And ICD-10 is probably one of the biggest ones. You know, the people listening to this webinar just might not remember a 50101, but they most likely remember meaningful use, right? And I know you’ve spoken to a bunch of our providers, maybe not you personally all of them, but I know your team, quite a few of them. So today, we’re going to help our providers learn a little bit more about what they need to do to understand how we’re preparing for ICD-10, how they can prepare for ICD-10. So that’s what we’re going to tackle today, and we’ve got an agenda of the things that we’re gonna go over. And I’d like to review that now with you to make sure that you know exactly what you’re gonna get out of this next time that we’re spending together. So the major bullet points, the review of the new Vericle interface. I wanna show you, top to bottom, what you’re gonna do with your existing patients, new patients coming on board, how you’re going to manage those and making sure that you can see a clear path about how you can reduce the amount of time, energy, and effort that is going to go into selecting the same codes that you actually do over and over again. And that goes into the second bullet point. Jess will definitely take over at this point in the webinar, how to start practicing, where we’re gonna show you how you can set up a test patient, including a test ICD-10 payer so that not only can you figure out how to choose these and, for lack of a better term, play around with them, Jess, that’s how you say it, but actually create the favorites that will be there on October 1 so that you’re familiar with it when your new patient comes through the door and you wanna choose that code that you’re used to choosing all the time, or if it’s some more obscure code, how you can go about finding that and making it a part of that patient record. And then the third item is we wanna go over the backend processes, the ones that perhaps you’re not gonna see, but I need you to know that they’re there and what we’re doing to prepare for the complexities that ICD-10 offers our providers and how your technology company that you’ve teamed up with to tackle this is helping you on the back end and the workflow that goes along with it when it will pop up and become part of your life. And then what to expect moving forward is the last thing. There are some really good things here because…there’s gonna be rejections. There’s going to be changes. And so I want you to know how we plan on tackling those together, and we’ll come back to this agenda as we complete each item. And at this point, Jess, anything else you wanna add to the agenda review? Jess: No, I think that’s gonna cover everything. Jason: Perfect. So we’re gonna start by actually showing you the interface. Here is just a Vericle home screen view. This is what you see when you log in. Most of the doctors on the call are gonna go over to your roster. This is where you’re logged in. Maybe you’ve had your team huddle already, you’ve met with your staff, and it’s time to start treating patients. So we’re gonna click on our pre-prepared patient which is ready to go. This interface should look familiar. If there’s somebody viewing this webinar who’s not a client of ours, we’re not gonna do a complete overview of this interface. Right now, we just wanna make sure that those people who are looking at this who are our clients know what we’re doing, but if you’re not a client, I think it’s still really useful to see exactly how we’re gonna help map from ICD-9s to ICD-10s. So this first thing that I’ll go over is this top portion here where…you can see where I’m highlighting. Before, we used to have one simple line, ICD-9, and not too terribly complex, we’ve added a second. But for this particular patient, you can see that it’s not their first visit. They already have ICD-9 codes chosen. I can mouse over them and see their favorites. They’ve got four different codes, you know, chosen. I can mouse over them and see what they are. But at this point, I wanna know, hey, do I need an ICD-10 code? We’ll tackle that in just one second. Let’s assume I know I need an ICD-10 code, and I’m gonna start treating this patient and I need to know before I bill it out, before I actually finish it, that I need to include ICD-10

Genesis Chiropractic Software Releases a New ICD-10 Solution for General Equivalence Mappings
(PRWEB) August 24, 2015 Genesis Chiropractic Software and Billing Network is taking a unique approach to helping their clients make a smooth transition to ICD-10. Their 5-part strategy called Genesis GEMs Plus ensures that doctors make the best ICD-10 code selection. Learn more by watching the ‘What Insurance Companies Don’t Want You to Know About ICD-10’ Video on demand HERE. “Doctors who rely solely on [the bare-bones] GEMs for ICD-10 shortcut provided by CMS are headed for financial disaster,” says Dr. Evan Gwilliam of ChiroCode Institute. “We have used the cloud to analyze over 22,000,000 insurance claims in the past 10 years,” says Dr. Brian Capra, Genesis Chiropractic Software President and Co-Founder, “Without that kind of data it is difficult to see insurance companies trends. The writing is on the wall: the bare-bone GEMs is not enough by itself. The only thing that is certain about ICD-10 is that every insurance company will use it differently and they will change their tactics as time goes on.” The GEMs Plus is available before the transition occurs and it is also adaptable to keep up with insurance companies changing requirements after the transition. Genesis is the only cloud based billing network with the data and the technology to help doctors make a smooth transition from ICD-9 and reduce risk of post payment audits as we move into the pay for performance healthcare model.

MyRxX.com – Save Time, Help Lives
My name is Dr. Scott Levine and, like you, I am a chiropractor. Four years ago, I struggled to get my patients to do their exercises. I would hand a patient an exercise sheet and demonstrate the exercises. Eventually, however, after many follow-ups, I realized that many of my patients were getting poor results because they were not doing the exercises on their own, or not doing them properly. At the time, available exercise videos were limited and of poor quality, so I started to build a software product to help my clients and my profession. The result is MyRxX.com – an exercise video delivery service designed to help chiropractors and their patients. As a chiropractor practicing in a multi-disciplinary clinic, I had the benefit of using the site with my patients daily so I could receive feedback about how to make myRxX better by tweaking. It was then successfully tested in international clinics to ensure that it worked perfectly before we launched it. MyRxX.com is much more than a video-exercise delivery site. It also functions as a marketing, communications and lead generation site. Each exercise is based on functional strengthening. My background has been specializing in muscle testing and Kinesiology. I created a 12 hour CE course in CE4you.com to teach those interested in how to test all the muscles for weakness. Prescribing the appropriate exercise was an easy extension. Imagine ending your next health talk by offering a free video exercise program to help improve the musculoskeletal (MSK) complaints of the participants. I can assure you that the majority will sign up. This software can help you quickly and simply manage these leads by tracking activity and sending messages to the group. Instead of giving my business card to potential patients, I provide them with exercises through the site. As they follow their exercises online, they are also viewing my white-labeled clinic information so they know how to reach me for further chiropractic help. This patient portal becomes an extension to your brand, location and online presence. The patient portal has a separate patient site called VideoExercises.com which allows them to view their program on any mobile device. In a marketing and communications capacity, the site allows you to upload your own clinic videos. Think of the possibilities – videos like “Welcome to the Clinic,” “Why Orthotics,” or introducing yourself to potential clients. Better than YouTube, because of the virtual wall that keeps them focused on only your prescribed health videos. Additionally, the Doctor’s Portal gives quick optics on patient engagement which allows you to monitor your patient’s’ compliance with the recommended exercises or clinic health videos. I have found that my patients are even more motivated to do their exercises now because they know that I am tracking their progress and keeping them accountable. Imagine your patient comes in and tells you their back pain has returned, instead of feeling the sole responsibility to getting them better, you can now check their engagement and address if they have not been keeping up with their core routine. This transfer has changed the responsibility to an equal partnership. Doctor-patient communication has never been easier or more secure with our 2-way messaging system that connects you and your patients. It is much more responsive than email, and the saved communications can become part of the patient files. The biggest benefit of the website is its ability to provide high-quality, personalized and easily-accessible exercise programs which improve the quality of your patients’ lives by helping them manage and prevent the pain and disability associated with MSK weakness. Ongoing support and feedback, as well as the ability to access the exercises on their own time will empower your patients to stay active between visits and to have a more direct role in their own health. This year we are integrating with your Genesis patient management software. This will allow you to click prescribe exercises right from the patients SOAP notes. A seamless, quick method to further your patient care without slowing you down. For any questions about the MyRxX service, or for further information, please email me personally. I would be happy to connect with you and your team. Feature Benefit Benefit of Benefit 2 Click Prescription Fast Save Time White Labeled Exercises are with your branding Easy to contact, easy to refer Drop down searching No exercise Knowledge necessary Accurate Doctor prescriptions Views See how many times your patient is exercising. Able to motivate and create accountability with your patient. Leads Keeps potential patients separate from patient list. Allows for 1-click prescription to large groups of patients. (ie.

Shifting Your Own Paradigm for Higher Profit, Retention, and Compliance
We’ve talked about how being introduced to Chiropractic shifts your patient’s paradigm. Suddenly, they understand their health from an entirely new perspective. But, what if you shift your own chiropractic practice management paradigm? What can happen when you run your chiropractic practice in a whole new way? Do you believe you could actually achieve 62% higher revenue? Does is seem too good to be true that you could get 26% better patient retention and improve compliance by 32%? It’s incredible but true that just by changing the technology you use in your office to a proactive Chiropractic software, these results aren’t just possible but easily achievable and have been proven. Let’s take a look at an example that everyone knows about but may not have really given that much thought. Ten years ago, if I had told you that you would pay a thousand dollars for a phone, you would have thought that I was crazy. But, Steve Jobs changed all that and it all started with the iPod – not the iPhone. When the iPod was first introduced, we were using a cell phone, a Walkman, a calculator, a camera…everything was separate. Yet, when Steve Jobs introduced the iPod, he said that “what the iPod represents is way more important than what it actually is.” He said, “This is a music playing device. It’s a thousand songs in your pocket. But what it represents is so much more.” Why did he say that? He said that because, on that day when he introduced the little iPod, he already had a prototype for the iPad. He already knew that the iPhone was coming. And, he knew that it was going to revolutionize the way we make phone calls, listen to music, surf the internet, share our lives with our friends, monitor our health and our finances, and so much more. He already knew what it represented, this new technology, and that it was going to give us a whole new world, one we could never have conceived of before. “Using a proactive Chiropractic practice management software in your office rather than an old reactive system creates an entirely new chiropractic practice.” This one, seemingly small change in technology, has completely changed our lives. And, one, seemingly small change in the technology you use in your practice can completely change it as well. Little changes can make huge impacts when they are the right ones. Using a proactive Chiropractic practice management software in your office rather than an old reactive system creates an entirely new chiropractic practice just like Steve Jobs created a new world that started with the introduction of the iPod. With the implementation of this new system, you can go from searching through stacks of reports and still not ever really knowing if tasks are complete until they have slipped through the cracks and you have to manage the fallout to staying ahead of the processes of your business. A proactive chiropractic software system not only finds the tasks required to complete a successful day in your office, it will assign the tasks to the best staff member to complete them, give you an instantaneous snapshot of the status of these tasks, and boil it all down to one number to let you know if you have achieved your goals for the day or if somewhere the ball was dropped. This change, just like the introduction of a new music player, seems so simple but the results are dramatic. Your office running at the optimum levels this proactive system creates really does equate to the 62% higher profits, 26% better patient retention, and the 32% increase in compliance that we talked about. After all, would you go back to using a camera, a calculator, a Walkman, and a separate computer for everything even though the new technology cost more than any one of those devices? If you ask me, I’ll stick with my iPhone and my new Chiropractic software technology. I like this new world.
