We know patient scheduling is central to your
physicians' workflow and productivity. That's

world class technology software
called Kareo. They designed a powerful scheduler
with daily, weekly, and monthly calendar views,
real-time patient eligibility, customized encounter
forms, and advanced scheduling rules. It provides
the ultimate control of your physicians' most
precious resource - their time.

You get daily, weekly, and monthly appointment
calendar views organized by physician, resource,
and service location. You can customize your calendars
by setting up office hours, color-coding
by appointment reason or time blocks, or showing
a legend with more information about your scheduling
rules.
Schedule
Appointments
You can schedule patient and other appointments
directly from any appointment calendar. You can
schedule one-time or recurring appointments using
powerful recurrence rules. You can enter information
about each appointment including the patient,
case, location, physician, start date and time,
end date and time, appointment reasons, and more.
Check
Patient Eligibility
Scheduling patients without verifying insurance
eligibility can be hazardous to your cash flow,
but calling insurance companies
to verify patient eligibility can be a resource
devouring task. That's why we've built electronic
connections to hundreds of major insurance
companies to offer real-time eligibility checks
directly within the scheduling process. With patient
eligibility checks, you can be sure you will get
paid for every appointment you schedule.
Set
up and Print Encounter Forms
You can set up custom encounter forms by selecting
from a library of encounter form designs, selecting
procedure and diagnosis codes, and creating headings
to organize your codes. You can set up different
forms for each physician. You can print encounter
forms for individual appointments or you can print
daily or weekly batches of encounter forms by physician
and/or location. There is a unique ticket # printed
on each encounter form that you can later use during
charge entry to automatically carry over all information
from the corresponding appointment.
Print
Physician Schedules
You can print your physician schedules quickly and
easily from any appointment calendar view. Simply
select a daily, weekly, or monthly calendar view,
select a date range, and filter by physician or
service location, then print your schedule. You
can also export schedules to Microsoft Excel or
Adobe PDF format to save the schedule to file or
email it to your physicians.
Set
up Scheduling Resources
You can set up scheduling resources to define equipment,
facilities, or people, in addition to your physicians,
for which to schedule appointments. You can view
daily, weekly, and monthly calendar views, and schedule
appointments for each scheduling resource.
Set
up Appointment Reasons
You can set up custom appointment reasons to
track the common reasons for a patient visit.
Each appointment reason can have a name, description,
color code, duration, and one or more physicians
or scheduling resources. When scheduling a new
appointment, you can select the appointment reason
as a shortcut for entering the appointment duration,
physician, and/or other scheduling resources.
Configure
Scheduling Rules
You can configure powerful scheduling rules that
govern the types of appointments that can be scheduled
within different time slots and date ranges. You
can define custom time blocks for every physician,
or other scheduling resource. Start by giving each
time block a name, description, and color code.
Then, define powerful rules, including allowing
or denying overbooking (scheduling multiple appointments
at the same time), limiting the number of appointments
within the time block, permitting only certain locations,
permitting only certain appointment reasons, or
explicitly defining a "Do Not Schedule"
time block. Once your rules are defined, Billing
Paradise will prevent users from scheduling appointments
that break the rules, but also allow managers with
the appropriate security level to override the rules.
