NotesScanner™

If you’re submitting hundreds or thousands of claims a month, you need creative solutions for identifying data that would be questioned during an audit, or for finding user errors that would result in claims adjustments/reversals/voids, and for identifying potential revenue left on the table. Scrubbing a percentage of data before billing or conducting look back audits is not enough.

With NoteScanner™ hundreds of thousands of data elements are scrubbed instantly and automatically based on customizable criteria you set.

  • Duration - to help identify errors in service duration where you will claim for too much or too little.
  • Words/phrases - to help identify words or phrases indicative of errors in billing, compliance, or for sentiment analysis.
  • Chart/note length - to ensure agency or regulatory compliance and identify errors.
  • Times - quickly identify unusual times that a service(s) was provided.
  • Utilization - identify clients with partial attendance to help drive business and clinical decision making.
  • Duplicates - Identify documentation with matching dates and times, preventing submission of fraudulent claims.
  • Duplicated content - find copy/paste behavior of staff trying to take shortcuts.
  • Overlapping Services - Easily identify multiple services provided to a client on the same day that have overlapping times, or the same service documented multiple times on the same day.
  • Non-contiguous notes (gaps) - For multiple services provided throughout any given day, find instances of non-contiguous notes, or gaps in documentation.

How it works

NotesScanner takes advantage of your EHR's data export feature. All that is required is an Excel file structured in a way that will work with NotesScanner. NotesScanner reads the Excel file row by row, examining it for the matching criteria you entered on the main menu of the interface. The results are then condensed and written to a seperate Excel file. The criteria is saved after every execution, so you only have to change the settings one time. The modules can be run all together, one at a time, or any combination.
