Get help with challenges of practice management – and a discount
Why have 14 state medical associations – including the ISMA – formed a relationship with athenahealth, Inc.? Because a year of due diligence and research convinced the ISMA and other medical society leaders that athenahealth's billing and practice management service has unique benefits to help you manage your practice.
athenahealth maintains a database of payer rules, the largest in the country, enabling the vendor to identify claims with incorrect codes, incomplete information and other inaccuracies. The athenaCollectorSM Rules Engine drives down denials for physician practices and increases collections.
Through a November 2007 agreement between the ISMA and athenahealth, physician members may be eligible for a 6 percent discount off the athenaCollectorSM monthly service fee when all physicians in the practice are ISMA members.
athenahealth offers more than technology. As a service provider, athenahealth combines its unique database of payer rules with back-office support from expert billing specialists. You'll also become part of a nationwide network of providers using athenaCollectorSM.
