What is Veradigm Practice Management?

Veradigm Practice Management (formerly Allscripts Practice Management) is a comprehensive revenue cycle management solution for physician practices and large hospital organizations. The vendor’s value proposition is that it boosts operational efficiency and productivity by helping users manage scheduling, collections, claims, and denials.

The vendor says their solution addresses the following challenges:

  • Shifting from fee-for-service to value-based care—You must accommodate evolving models of reimbursement, such as Meaningful Use, Accountable Care Organizations, and most recently, MACRA Quality Payment Program delivery system reform.

  • Meeting complex regulations and maximizing reimbursement— Clean claims and automated self-pay collections are tools within Practice Management to streamline and manage A/R (accounts receivable).

  • Consolidation—Practice Management’s open architecture allows for sharing of patient information across multiple platforms meeting the needs of many complex environments.

Usability

Ok for now

Pros

  • Easy to combine data and reports.
  • Submit claims for reimbursement.
  • Edit and review patient data in patient accounts.

Cons

  • Some of the "canned" reports are wrong. We have reported issues to Allscripts multiple times and they never were interested in fixing the problem.
  • The work and total RVU values that are assigned to each CPT code don't have a reference for the year so we have to keep changing them every year and overwrite the old ones.
  • There is no option to load facility and non-facility values for total RVUs.

Return on Investment

  • We've had an overall positive impact in reporting in data collection.

Alternatives Considered

Applied Epic, Lytec, McKesson Practice Plus and athenaCollector
