Oncologists Convert To MicroMD® PM For Revenues, Productivity And Reporting

As both a high-volume and high-value practice—charges for single-day treatments can range as high as $30,000—Blood and Cancer Center (BCC) needed to increase staff productivity and improve its accounts receivable management.

On behalf of Drs. Chahine, Garg and Krishnan, Lopez began evaluating practice management systems in 2003. After reviewing five leading systems, the BCC team selected MicroMD PM from Henry Schein Medical Systems.

When implementing MicroMD PM, Lopez chose to convert all 15 years of BCC patient information. While this took some time, it was especially helpful for a hematology and oncology practice. "We were absolutely glad we did the full conversion," says Lopez. "We may not see some of our patients, with blood disorders for example, for several years. When they come back, it's really nice to have their information ready."
