What Medical Managers are Saying

Achieving an investment payback in the first year

The Docuscan patient encounter system has helped hundreds of medical organizations achieve significant savings and benefits, including the following reported by customers with an investment payback within the first year of use.

Time Savings

Using the system can result in an 80% time reduction in data entry and correction. The system can process up to 30 patient encounters per minute–nearly 2,000 per hour–freeing up employees for more important activities, such as collections, patient services, and referral management.

Improved Accuracy

Industry studies report an average 1 to 7% error rate in the entry of patient encounters; the Docuscan patient encounter system reduces that rate significantly.

Improved Management and Auditing of Encounters

The Docuscan patient encounter system provides comprehensive encounter tracking, virtually eliminating lost or misplaced charges. Increased cash flow is realized with faster claim submissions and improved revenue-based activities from redirection of employee resources.

Easy Updating and Maintenance of Encounter Forms

The Docuscan patient encounter system's unique, variable encounter form system permits real-time updating and eliminates obsolete forms. Billing or clinical codes may be added or deleted anytime–without outside printer expenses, forms inventory investments, or freight expenses.

We have found Docuscan to be invaluable to our 7-physician pediatric practice. We've had our Docuscan for 5 years and cannot imagine going back to manually entering our charges. We would certainly have to hire additional personnel, and I doubt they could match Docuscan's 100% accuracy of input. Additionally, the flexibility Docuscan allows us in designing, implementing, and changing our encounter forms "on the fly" helps us keep up with changes in CPT and ICD-9 coding for appropriate reimbursement. The Scantron support staff and programmers are very responsive to our needs and suggestions.

"Docuscan has more than paid for itself in less than a year. We estimate that our annual savings have been $80,000 for our 30 physicians working in seven locations. We haven't had to maintain such a high ratio of data entry people to the number of physicians in our practice. Using Docuscan also has reduced the number of front-end rejections we have had from insurance companies."

"Using Docuscan definitely improves accuracy and efficiency. We have less than 1.5 employees doing charge entry for 26 physicians. It would take twice that number of employees or more if we did manual entry."
