A new charge capture product, Superbill, integrates with an enhanced version of ePad(TM), ePhysician’s ePrescribing application, and A to Z Drug Facts with Facts and Comparisons(R) for objective drug reference. Together, this new offering provides physicians with a comprehensive suite of wireless products, enabling more informed prescribing decisions, improved practice efficiency and enhanced patient care.

Wireless technology’s impact in the medical industry encompasses much more than just sending electronic prescriptions, and our suite of clinical handheld services answers the industry’s call for more efficient, integrated solutions, said Dr Stuart Weisman, CEO and founder of ePhysician. Physicians now have at their fingertips the knowledge and capability to successfully address the primary concerns of patient care and practice profitability, while also supporting privacy and security requirements that greatly affect the healthcare industry. The greatest benefit, however, is the potential to save lives while reducing costs.

The suite’s new charge capture application, Superbill, allows physicians to enter billing codes for diagnoses, office visits, procedures, and supplies directly into a handheld device during or after each patient visit, improving billing accuracy and dramatically reducing the time and resources spent on claims submittal and lost charges. Information entered on a handheld device can be exported to a physician billing service, practice management software, or the encounter data can be used to create a patient bill for each visit. During patient visits or away from the clinic, physicians can use ePad to write and send prescriptions in seconds via the Internet to a patient’s choice of pharmacy. Now fully integrated, ePhysician’s products enable physicians to view reliable drug information while prescribing and also capture patient charges using one hand-held device.

The seamless integration of ePhysician products is a natural solution that virtually eliminates the risk of errors and improves the overall quality of my practice, said Dr Kenneth Griffith, of Houston in a press release.

ePhysician’s user friendly system and quality technical support saves time for everyone involved for me, my staff, my patients and the pharmacists. It’s an obvious and long-awaited advancement on many fronts.
