Medical practice management softwareIs PDS Cortex easy to use?

Designed from a user perspective, PDS Cortex™ is built upon the workflow of actual practices. Intuitive, flexible, visual and easy to use, PDS Cortex ensures maximized patient flow and information for your medical office.

 

What is my investment?

PDS Cortex is not the least expensive medical practice management software … nor is it the most. PDS Cortex and Practice Partner pricing is based upon the needs of your office. A PDS Cortex representative will be happy to sit down and discuss the needs of your office so that investment dollars are maximized. Practice Partner* is an electronic medical records (EMR) program.

 

How often is the software updated?

PDS Cortex software is enhanced at least once a year, or more, depending upon regulatory changes handed down by governmental agencies. Many PDS Cortex software enhancements are built upon suggestions by our customer base so that the software’s functionality is always from a customer’s perspective.

 

Do I have to pay for updates?

No! Ongoing updates are issued at absolutely no cost to our customers. Updates can be downloaded by you and installed quickly and easily.

 

Are PDS Cortex and Practice Partner fully integrated?

Yes! PDS Cortex and Practice Partner, our electronic medical records program, are fully integrated. Enter any information only once and it will be reflected in both programs. Information flows freely from one to the other, significantly reducing time spent on data entry.

 

I am very comfortable with the way I have things organized. Will I have to change my workflow to accommodate your new system?

No! We’ve designed PDS Cortex to adapt to the way your medical practice flows.

 

Our practice has multiple doctors and locations, and I need to be able to see their production and charges separately. Can your system do that?

Absolutely! All reports generated by PDS Cortex can be ordered by doctor, location or both. You can easily identify charges, payments and adjustments by provider. Reports can also be generated on productivity by provider, location, or by each provider at each location.

 

Can I keep track of my past due accounts easily?

Our powerful Automated Collections module is designed to streamline in-house collection processes and enhance cash flow. You can track overdue accounts, payments and payment arrangements, then let PDS Cortex automatically generate the appropriate letter for each overdue account. Many PDS Cortex customers are meeting or exceeding MGMA collection standards!

 

Does your system accommodate electronic remits?

Our Electronic Remittance Distribution module gives you greater control and flexibility in managing the electronic posting of insurance payments. Tasks that once consumed several hours can be completed with just a few keystrokes. And, data can be organized into the formats that work best for you. Your office not only will save time and money, but you’ll also see a reduction in errors. For example, if your practice mix is 60 percent from payors that offer electronic remittance distribution, then 60 percent of your payment posting would be done electronically.

 

Can I see a doctor's entire week of appointments on one screen?

Yes! Or you can see appointments by patient, date, location, provider and resource.

 

Can I change the appointment templates easily if I have to?

The appointment templates can be modified to a format that works best for your office. The flexibility of the PDS Cortex appointment system allows each physician to structure their schedule in the manner that best fits the way they choose to practice medicine. In fact, the entire PDS Cortex system can be designed to fit the way your medical office does business.

 

We are a rural health facility. Can you handle our type of office?

Yes! PDS Cortex has a series of reports specific to Rural Health, including a cost report.

Rural Health charges are automatically separated from non-Rural Health charges at the time of charge entry, and are transmitted electronically to the proper entity in the correct format. PDS Cortex supports UB-92 billing for Rural Health and other ambulatory procedures.

 

Do I have to go through your clearinghouse?

We work with independent clearinghouses that offer differing pricing policies and procedures. Our clients select the one that best suits their needs.

 

How long do I have to wait to get support?

Our experienced staff responds quickly to your phone calls via our state-of-the-art digital phone system ... because we know you need answers NOW! Our exclusive online support program is yet another way to communicate with our staff. You can submit questions and requests to our support staff online, then track the status of your inquiries 24 hours a day.

 

I have used the same computer system for years. I'm familiar with it, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to learn a new system.

PDS Cortex is designed to be flexible and intuitive. As PDS Cortex is designed from a user perspective, the learning curve for your staff and new personnel tends to be shortened. This saves your practice time and money. It’s easy to learn, and we’ll be with you every step of the way: from the initial planning meeting that will allow us to customize the system to your way of doing things ... to the classroom training to acquaint you with the new capabilities you will enjoy ... to the personal attention you’ll receive the day you go live. We will be right there with you ... to help you ease into your new system.

 

Will the ICD9s already be in my system, or do I have to enter them all?

The current ICD9s are part of our system. You don’t have to enter a single code!

 

Will the ICD9s be updated every year, or do I have to do it manually?

We send you regular electronic updates of the ICD9 codes. Just install, and within seconds your ICD9s are completely up to date.

 

Can I get ICD9s and CPTs from my EMR into my billing system without having to enter them?

Absolutely! Both systems are fully integrated and information flows freely from one to the other, significantly reducing time spent on data entry.

 

Who takes care of the hardware?

Your local vendor can help you with any hardware needs you may have. Should your vendor need information pertaining to PDS Cortex, we offer complete technical requirements and instructions. PDS has a full staff of technical engineers standing by to assist your vendors with any questions they may have.
