Fully integrated with NextGen EMR (single database, single log-in, consolidated reporting and maintenance), NextGen EPM is a Windows-based enterprise practice management system designed to deliver superior return-on-investment by streamlining front and back office administration, improving efficiencies, reducing A/R days, and enhancing the quality of patient care.

With all of the depth and maturity you would expect from a world-class application, NextGen EPM combines an intuitive, easy-to-use interface with true enterprise functionality. Ideal for healthcare networks consisting of multiple practices or specialties as well as growing practices, NextGen EPM features customizable, encounter-driven scheduling and billing processes that enable administrators to proactively manage the business of healthcare. In addition, NextGen EPM includes measures for quality assurance in managing patient financials.

This robust system also offers advanced claims scrubbing and editing features to increase claims accuracy, resulting in fewer denials and costly resubmissions as well as quicker reimbursements. In addition, contract management functions within the EPM help practices negotiate optimal capitation or fee-for-service arrangements with individual payers.

NextGen EPM’s support of HIPAA transaction code sets enables providers to submit electronic claims directly to any payer in the HIPAA-compliant 837 file format. The system can import the standardized 997 acknowledgment and 835 remittance file and can produce an 837 COB claim to be submitted for reimbursement from the secondary payer. The support of these code sets allows providers to achieve the true benefits of HIPAA, including simplified care and reduced costs.
