Medical Quality And Your Bottom Line

"I recovered my investment in Praxis immediately. I have saved the money from the salaries and benefits of four employees. I see 30% more patients in the same amount of time than I was previously seeing. So far I have saved 500% in the first year alone as my office is so much more efficient than it was previously. My accounts receivable at 90+ days is less than 15%. It is simply incredible! We are aggressive at working insurance denials. The insurance companies will try to deny everything, and we appeal every denial. With Praxis, the chart as I wrote it in my own words is readily available for notes and review for these appeals. I can only think of 5 or so claims that we have not won our appeal on this year and most of them are surgical claims that the insurance is denying. I think this product is exceptional. I have used the very expensive mainstream EMR systems and they do not compare. It is priced so that even the solo practitioner can afford the product. Praxis means better care for the patients, in a cost-and time-efficient manner; it means better medicine for everyone, patient and doctor alike. I spend less time reviewing notes and dictations and can get home to my family more quickly."

Heidi Heras, M.D., PC, Otolaryngology, UT

"I chose to use an EMR for the same reason most doctors choose to use an EMR. I was looking for a way to improve patient care, do billing faster, cut costs, and find a way through all that annoying paperwork. Praxis paid for itself in less than a year, and has now paid for itself over and over again! It makes my patient visits faster and helps reduce my liability."

Dr. Robert Comeau, M.D., OB/GYN, Las Vegas, Nevada

"Praxis pays for itself by not making you spend your day searching for charts, taping silly pieces of paper into charts, and charting Rx's. This is an enormous cost saver and a major stress reducer for the staff."

Stephen Markus, MD, Family Practice, Bellevue, WA

"Praxis has much greater utility and flexibility than a template-driven program. In addition, Praxis has another very valuable feature that you may not have considered: that is, enhanced legal protection for the busy practitioner."

Curtis E. Harris, MS, MD, JD, Practicing Endocrinologist, Professor of Medical Law at University of Oklahoma, Oklahoma City, OK

"As a physician using an EMR, not only is Praxis the best electronic medical record out there, but also the best supported. The efficiency and effect on my bottom line is darn impressive. I have even come up with some tricks for doing an intake prior to the visit which allows me to very quickly perform a new patient visit, and in less than an hour they are through the process and exclaiming how exciting it is to see a doctor who can sit and listen and not have to rush them through. I don't think I have to comment on the financial side of doing two level 4's on new patients in an hour and then at the end of the day being done; no end of the day dictation catch-up or review because its done while I am in the room."

Daniel Griffin, M.D., Internal Medicine, Fort Collins, CO

"Praxis has been a very helpful program for my practice. It is very easy to utilize, making my work very simple. The program is a revolutionary way to help me learn new concepts while working. This is the best investment I have made to help my practice."

Anselmo H. Humaran, M.D., Miami, FL

"I now enter about 75-80% of my notes using Praxis, and I do it between patients. My quarterly costs for transcription were $2400. With Praxis, I see this cost going down to $500-$800."

Lorne Bigley, M.D., Family Practice, Lacey, WA

"No question that my reimbursements have increased as I now properly code for visits instead of routinely undercoding. I can easily do this because of the automatic documentation from Praxis that requires no extra time or effort from me. Using Praxis is not only more cost-effective for me, but also easy to use."

David H. Friedman, M.D., Dermatology, Dermasurgery, Mohs Surgery, Northridge Dermatology Associates

"My back office nurse is especially a fan of Praxis because she used to dedicate 1/5 of her work week to filing alone, and now that the time is freed up, she is able to attend to more pressing matters. Due to Praxis' agent notes, communication is much more fluid and efficient between the staff of my practice. It has taken me less than a year to recover my investment. I have saved $800 per month in transcription fees. In addition, I have saved a good sum due to less needed storage space as I no longer rely heavily on paper. I also consider it a huge investment that my staff makes much better use of their time. Due to Praxis, my expenses have ultimately decreased by 15%."

Ivan Martinez, M.D., Endocrinology, MD

"Praxis support has been absolutely outstanding. I call with a question, and the appropriate expert from Praxis calls me that day. My questions are answered, and if necessary, they dial into my system to fix whatever the problem is themselves. Why can't every computer company have support like this? It will take time for you to learn any system. I believe that your time will be much better spent learning this one. Better patient care. Less stress. More money through greater efficiency. Thanks, Praxis. This will do fine!"

Robert Schubert, M.D., Family Practice, Elizabethton, Tennessee

"I no longer am here until 10 or 11 at night trying to get all the paper work done for the OR the next day. Praxis is straightforward to learn and easy to navigate. It is more cost effective than anything else. Yet most importantly, it is free of any coercion or pressure from big businesses and insurance companies to do things a certain way. As the near future comes to pass, this may be a bigger factor in our practices than any of us could imagine."

Ray Compton, M.D., General, Vascular, and Bariatric Surgery, Paris, TN

"Before using Praxis, I spent $1000 a month on dictation. I now spend zero, and not only save on filing costs (because my practice is going paperless), but also save an incredible amount of space by removing the charts from my office."

Vitaly Fishbein, M.D., Gastroenterology, MD

"It took me less than one month in 1998 to fully recover my investment in Praxis. My revenue has increased by 15%. Additionally, Praxis tech support is rapidly ready to handle any challenges I may have with the interlocution of different hardware or software items, which only cuts down on my servicing costs even further."
