Florida clinic chooses athenahealth practice management, billing service

Suncoast Medical Clinic, a multi-specialty medical group, will be replacing its web-hosted practice management system with athenahealth’s on-demand practice management and billing service, athenaCollector.

Suncoast Medical Clinic employs more than 60 medical providers and has nine locations throughout greater St. Petersburg, Fla.

As part of its athenaCollector service, athenahealth has built a proprietary knowledge-base of payor reimbursement process rules, athenaRules, designed to enforce medical provider office workflow requirements, which is updated continuously by athenahealth staff.

Around the web

A total of 16 cardiology practices from 12 states settled with the DOJ to resolve allegations they overbilled Medicare for imaging agents used to diagnose cardiovascular disease. 

CCTA is being utilized more and more for the diagnosis and management of suspected coronary artery disease. An international group of specialists shared their perspective on this ongoing trend.

The new technology shows early potential to make a significant impact on imaging workflows and patient care.
