Sage touts Intergy RIS

Sage Software touted the expanded functionality of Sage Intergy RIS Version 4—including new referring provider marketing fields, film tracking and automatic charge posting based on appointments—at the 2008 RSNA annual meeting.

The Intergy RIS appointment waitlist feature allows radiology practices to ensure that appointments don’t go empty. The managed care modules help confirm referrals and visit availability. Adding HL7 interfaces allows hospital downloads to enable information transfers without re-entering data.

Intergy RIS offers management tools such as denial task management to help practices maximize the revenue cycle, analyze payor mix and manage referring provider relationships. Intergy RIS is targeted toward the independent imaging centers and multi-specialty clinic market, the company said.
