Cloud-Based Medical Billing Software Company Kareo Brings Enterprise-Grade Claim Scrubbing Technology to Small Medical Practices

IRVINE, Calif., May 16, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Kareo, Inc., the leading provider of easy and affordable cloud-based practice management and medical billing software for US physicians, announced today the release of advanced claim scrubbing technology designed to streamline the billing process and improve cash flow for physician practices. This new feature will help practices eliminate medical claim errors and expedite payment from insurance companies. The enhancement is immediately available to all Kareo customers at no additional charge.

"Claim scrubbing technology has been around for years, but often seen as a luxury available only to large practices and hospitals," says Dan Rodrigues, the founder and CEO of Kareo. "But small practices face many of the same billing complexities as larger organizations, yet they do not have the time or resources to devote to fixing claim errors.  So we have introduced advanced claim scrubbing technology bundled with every Kareo plan – an incredible value."

Bringing advanced claim scrubbing technology to small practices is just another example of Kareo's commitment to the success of the solo and small physician practices that form the backbone of the American healthcare system.  Kareo customers can use this technology to save time, reduce billing errors, and ultimately, expedite payments from insurance companies.  Kareo offers claim scrubbing technology bundled with plans as low as $69 per month.

With claim scrubbing technology, all claims are checked for errors in real time as billers enter procedures and diagnosis codes. The software delivers error messages and instructions that enable billers to quickly correct errors and submit clean claims the first time, avoiding claim processing delays that would otherwise slow or prevent payment from insurance companies.

The new claim scrubbing feature is the latest release from Kareo, which leverages its cloud-based infrastructure to continuously launch improvements that streamline physician billing and practice management. The company also offers free educational resources that enable small practices to further improve performance at www.kareo.com/resources.
