"There are approximately 9,720 podiatrists in the United States serving over 600 million feet. That's one podiatrist for every 32,000 Americans. There's simply no room for inefficiency. We have a proven track record of increasing the bottom line for podiatrists and we plan on helping more of them," reports Jason Frederick, VP of Business Development.

Podiatrists are suffering from the same decreasing reimbursements affecting most physicians along with the most complicated rules for getting paid by insurances.  In addition, podiatrists are expected to adopt electronic medical records by 2015 or face decreases in their Medicare reimbursements. WorkSmart MD reports it has developed a turn-key program to help podiatry practices adopt electronic medical records while bringing more dollars than ever before into the practice.  

"Our model is straight forward and simple. We supply our network of podiatrists with state-of-the-art certified electronic medical records, e-prescribing, all medical billing and clearinghouse services, practice management software and experts to help them maximize its' potential. All for a cost that equates to sales tax.  The net result is 10-15% more cash flow, faster reimbursement, and up to $44,000 in Medicare incentives for the practice," reports David B. VanderVoort, VP Sales & Marketing. "Just through WorkSmart MD's automations in our EMR we expect a six-figure increase in production this year," comments Dr. P. Felton of Maryland.

Jayson Meyer who has been featured on the Oprah Winfrey show, CBS 48 hours, and in the Wall Street Journal.
