ICS Software's "Sammy Systems" Adds New Medicare Eligibility Feature

Oceanside, NY — In under 6 seconds ICS Software's "Sammy Systems Medical Practice Management" software will automatically check patient's Medicare eligibility, deductible and benefit status, according to ICS Software. The company is one of only a few who have this service; however, they claim to be the only ones that implement in the way that they do. This program is designed to enable doctors to look into the near future for patients who are coming to their offices and catch those patient's who have changed from traditional Medicare to an Medicare HMO, thereby saving the physician hundreds or even thousands of dollars. An additional feature is when a batch of claims is sent out through Sammy, all the claims are checked for verification of insurance, deductible status and benefit status. All of these results are saved individually in each patient's filing cabinet for easy follow-up.

ICS Software ensures that when the patient arrives in the office, there will be no dispute about whether a patient may or may not have paid their deductible. When using Sammy, doctors will be able to collect the deductible at the time of the visit. Even if the patient has paid the deductible the day before or they are not sure, the physican should still collect the deductible. As long as the deductible payment is on the claim form that is going to Medicare (which in Sammy is easy), Medicare will then refund the patient the money. This real-time information allows every physician to bill with confidence the first time, knowing that they have quickly and efficiently received and processed accurate Medicare Eligibility information, according to the supplier.
