Many people are aware that there are two main ways to do Medicaid activity tracking - manual activity reporting and automated activity reporting. However at the same time there is no clear understanding of the benefits of automatic activity tracking. In this article, we will be talking about the main differences between the automated and manual Medicaid managed care focusing on the advantages of automated activity reporting.
As long as speed of report delivery is concerned, the manual service will take from several hours to many days before a Medicaid consulting company will take a look at the reports, though when it comes to the automatic activity tracking, the reports will be received instantly after the doctors submit them.
Security is very important here and in the traditional way, there is just no security with the paper documents and this means that anyone in the medical facility will have access to the papers and this means that gaining unauthorized access to patients' data will be a breeze, which is not good. The automatic service is hosted on an SSL secured website and each doctor account is be protected by a password.
Taking advantage of a Medicaid consulting company means that, in the traditional way, one of the employees of the company will visit each school district separately and have the reports collected. In the automatic method, the reports will be received immediately by the company. Then, the minutes that each staff member has worked will be calculated in an automatic fashion. In the manual mode on the other hand, you will need to have everything calculated by the corresponding healthcare professional or nurse, which means that they will be spending their precious time filling in paperwork instead of helping students or patients.
Changes to activity reports that have already been submitted: With manual activity tracking a report that has been submitted will be modifiable only by the healthcare professional, even in cases when the report has not not been locked yet. For a report that has not been submitted yet, it is possible for a doctor or nurse to change it before submitting it. However in all cases finding and changing the paper records requires manual work. On the other hand, when it comes to the automatic method, any Medicaid report that by the end of the month wasn't locked, will be modifiable both by the Medicaid consulting company and also by the medical practitioner or nurse who has submitted it.
A good Medicaid activity reporting will be able to help schools and companies that deal with special needs children. It will streamline the Medicaid billing process thus allowing the medical personnel to focus on their students.
