Billingparadise introduces Patient Portal Services with its EMR

Billingparadise, a California based provider of HIPAA compliant healthcare practice solutions, has launched Practice Portal services for providers. The service will benefit physician and patient alike, by offering a two-way secure communication to enhance delivery of care.


According to a recent Harris Interactive/Wall Street Journal survey, 74% percent of respondents said they would like the ability to communicate with their physician via e-mail, but only 4% of respondents currently use the technology. 62% of respondents stated that the ability to communicate via e-mail with their physician would impact their physician choice "to some extent" or "a great deal."

The portal allows patients to request for appointments, update or modify their records, obtain personalized medical information and view prescriptions. Portals are also being used refill and lab-tests requests; in addition to automated health alerts and patient-education through email.

By delivering information and services to patients across the continuum of care, a fully functional Patient Portal not only helps maintain a seamless communication flow with his doctor but also improves overall care team efficiency.

Practice portal can be integrated with the Billingparadise Electronic Medical Record (EMR) Software to provide a set of pre-defined functionalities for registered patients. These functions not only empower the patient with information available anytime of the day, but also reduce workload on the practice / hospital staff. Many experts believe that Practice Portals or Patient Portals will soon be an integral communication channel between patient and provider. In addition to enhancing online community presence, many clinics having portals have reported savings in man-hours and administrative costs over a period of time.

With the introduction of fully functional Practice Portal services, Billingparadise is one of the very few EMR vendors offering such a wide range of healthcare IT solutions and services – Integrated EMR and Practice Management Software, Patient Insurance Eligibility Check, Automated Patient Reminder, Medical Transcription services, Medical Billing System and Scanning and Indexing services.

With the increase in EMR adoption, patient portals will be the next step ahead towards increased revenues, enhanced care and improvement in patient-provider relationship.

Thanks for your valuable information.I would like to say the main reason for claim denials and delays is the improper insurance coverage information gathered from patients. An efficient process of insurance eligibility verification must be taken place to overcome claim issues.Click on this link to know more about importance of patients eligibility information.
