TAP Charge Capture™

Description

Salar’s TAP Charge Capture application completes billing charges at the point-of-care. TAP eliminates traditional, labor-intensive and error-prone billing processes by allowing physicians to complete charge entry online or automating billing from the physician’s documentation. TAP integrates charges with physician practices’ billing systems, increasing efficiency and enhancing revenue. TAP’s comprehensive reporting capabilities gives practice administrators surveillance into revenue and productivity enhancements.

Benefits

Increase Collections

  • Every physician practice using TAP has significantly improved their bottom line, some as much as 24%. TAP ensures that a charge is captured for every patient visit and identifies omissions as they occur.
  • TAP’s PQRS tool enables practices to receive additional CMS reimbursements by automatically identifying eligible patients and appending appropriate PQRS codes to charges.

Improve Cash Flow

  • Charges are captured electronically in real-time and information flows directly to the practice billing system, eliminating the need to manually collect charges, shuffle them to the billing department and enter them by hand.
  • Reduce lag time between the date of service and invoice date
  • Eliminate the need for costly paper encounter forms
  • Streamline charge entry by combining facility and professional billing

Capture Compliant Charges Every Time

  • Customizable edits can be used to ensure every charge is clean and appropriate from the point of service
  • Guarantee every charge is captured for every encounter through reconciliation with scheduling systems to ensure a charge is captured for every encounter
  • Provides visibility into the current status of every charge in the revenue cycle

Integrate Documentation with Billing

  • TAP integrates directly with TeamNotes™ to provide a seamless link between physician documentation and billing. Each time an encounter note is signed, the compliant CPT code and supporting ICD-9 codes are sent to the billing system.
