Fort Worth Brain and Spine Institute Partners with eMDs Aprima PM Software and Aria RCM Solutions to Help Increase Day-to-Day Efficiency and Revenue

PR Newswire

AUSTIN, Texas, May 19, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, eMDs, a leading provider of innovative electronic health record (EHR), practice management (PM) and revenue cycle management (RCM) solutions for medical practices, announced that Fort Worth Brain and Spine Institute, LLP, the North Texas leader in Neurosurgery has partnered together for a new PM/RCM solution.

Fort Worth Brain and Spine's 12 healthcare providers serve thousands of patients monthly across five clinical locations. To best serve multiple needs, the Institute utilizes eMDs' Aria RCM services to take care of their billing and Account Receivables Management needs, as well as look for ways to improve patient satisfaction scores across the clinics.

The association is unique for many reasons. Fort Worth Brain and Spine chose eMDs because their business relies on specific billable codes and expertise. Former PM solution lacked key knowledge of the neurosurgery subspecialty. Without this, the Institute found managing collections difficult. Through specialty-specific codes built into the Aprima PM solution, working with an experienced coder for surgical procedures, and the hands-on claims process with denials and appeals, eMDs actively works to achieve the clinic's dual goal of improving the patient experience and the revenue cycle across their business.

"I feel like we've found the right fit," said Chinika Polk, CEO of Fort Worth Brain and Spine Institute. "Aprima has everything. Finding well versed neurosurgical coding experts is like finding a unicorn in our world. As an executive, eMDs has the dashboards I want to see when looking at the health of our business; as well as several components I never considered which streamline our billing process. With the neurosurgical-specific codes embedded, eMDs hands-down beat any other service we interviewed. Their service is a game-changer to us. With this partnership, I look forward to seeing an increase in cash flow and gaining the extra support with denials and appeals with the insurance carriers."

"We are naturally very pleased to welcome Fort Worth Brain and Spine Institute to the eMDs growing family and are excited to begin the process of taking them live on our software and partnering in their success going forward. A driving force behind our acquisition of Aprima in 2019 was their ability to support specialties such as neurology," said Derek Pickell, eMDs' CEO. "One of our advantages over other vendors is that we offer the flexibility to customize our robust solution for organizations with complex needs. We continue to focus on building stronger customer partners and keeping them part of the eMDs family for many years to come."
