On Line Office - CIMS Virtual Office
The CIMS Group offers a type of outsourcing of all your office functions like no other!

Risk Manager
For each patient in your practice, our Risk Manager can identify the policies you need to be aware of and the practices and procedures you need to follow in order to satisfy your obligation to remain in compliance with Federal, National, Regional, State and Local rules and regulations.
[ Back to Top ]Practice Manager
For each patient in your practice, our Practice Manager will identify all the information in the patient care cycle that is required in order to assure a high percentage of authorizations and payment.
After you have registered your patient, completing all the information required, we will verify your patient's benefits and preauthorization requirements.
We will then print out on your printer your “Day Sheet” of all the patients you will see that day.
In addition to the patient's name, this will have the CPT Code, the ICD-9-CM Diagnosis Code. There will be a section for the patient's payment and their check number.
[ Back to Top ]Claims Manager
For each patient in your practice, our Claims Manager will prepare your claims for submission and processing.
There will be no need to send or fax us anything! If you have done your part (i.e., enter all the registration information required), at the end of the day we will gather all the encounters ready for claims processing. We will prepare your CMS 1500 forms and your ANSI 837P electronic files.
Whether you submit paper claims or electronic claims, we will assure that each claim is clean before it is submitted. We will assure that our Clearinghouse will process your claim and submit your payment
The Insurance company will mail an Explanations of Benefits (EOBs) and checks, PAYABLE TO YOU, to our secure, locked post office box. We will scan them into our document imaging system, and post them to the patients’ accounts.
Once a week, we will deposit your checks into your bank account and return the original Explanations of Benefits to you along with a list of the deposited checks. We will use the internal ChartEvolve email system to let you know the amount of the deposit so you can record it in your checkbook right away.
All reporting showing all active clients with authorization numbers, number of visits authorized and number of visits left, birth dates and policy numbers, the name of the managed care company, their telephone and fax numbers is available to you in the ChartEvolve Reporting System.
We will follow up on any claims that appear to have been paid incorrectly. We will also mail statements to your patients on a monthly basis.
[ Back to Top ]Utilization Manager
For each patient in your practice for which there is a denial of payment, our Utilization Manager will begin the Appeals Process. We will submit the documentation necessary to argue your case, including progress notes and additional treatment planning that may be required.
[ Back to Top ]Outcomes Manager
For all the standard metrics reported in ChartEvolve, our Outcomes Manager will provide you with reports based on your needs. We will help to identify the content and periodicity of your reporting needs. We will then print out the reports you wish to review on the regularity that is meaningful to you.
