AssistMed's Duet data capture technology integrated with HealthPac's HPlus Pro patient accounting system

AssistMed, Inc. and HealthPac Computer Systems, Inc. today announced the integration of AssistMed's Duet™ data capture technology with HealthPac's HPlus Pro™ patient accounting and control system to enhance professional healthcare services.

The integration supports the use of a digital pen and custom forms service offered by AssistMed with automated delivery of all necessary data for charge capture and billing.

"By combing these two technologies, we are able to offer documentation immediately to the physician's office and billing service," said Raul Kivatinetz, president  and chief operating officer of AssistMed, Inc. "This enhances a physician's revenue cycle, supported by better coding and improved billing procedures.  In addition, Duet eases and accelerates the adoption of electronic health records, without affecting physician productivity."

The integration eliminates the need for faxing, scanning or re-keying of data from encounter forms into the HealthPac HPlus Pro system by delivering relevant charge data directly to the system for posting. The elimination of manual processes for both the medical practice and the billing service provider reduces costs, while enhancing efficiency in the billing process.

"We are always seeking ways to provide our clients with a greater return on their HealthPac investment," said B.D. "Buddy" Claborn Jr, chief executive officer of HealthPac Computer Systems. "This integration with AssistMed further simplifies the charge capture process for the physician, the medical staff and the posting process for the billing personnel. It is a win-win on both sides of the transaction."
