CMA recently partnered with athenahealth—a leading revenue management company—to help physicians get paid quickly, correctly, and with minimal hassle. CMA and athenahealth are hosting an online seminar for physicians and their office staff May 16, from 12 to 1 p.m.

Participants will learn how athenahealth can help them increase collections and operate more efficiently, allowing them more time and energy to care for their patients. CMA member and athenahealth client Bo Greaves, M.D., will discuss his personal experience with athenahealth.

CMA members receive a 6 percent discount on athenahealth’s unique web-based practice management services, which include automated eligibility verification, coding validation, automated contract compliance monitoring, payor-specific reverse rules engine and insurance collection services.

CMA endorsed athenahealth’s award-winning solution after an extensive review of its software and services, lengthy discussions with California customers, and independent confirmation of the company’s unusually high user satisfaction rate. On average, practices that use Athenahealth’s revenue cycle management service get paid 30 percent faster and see a 5 to 10 percent increase in collections.

athenahealth has even developed a “Prompt Payment Robocop,” to help physicians take full advantage of California’s prompt-payment law. The system monitors every claim, calculates interest when a claim has not been paid on time, and flags the unpaid claim for follow-up.
