Encoda clients Katrina Mason, Billing and Insurance Manager at Peninsula Dermatology and Skin Cancer Surgery Center, and Ken Kobus, RCM Manager at Everett & Hurite Ophthalmic Associates, will be featured on panel discussion titled “Deploying a Tech-Enabled Revenue Cycle Strategy in Your Medical Practice”, at Nextech’s EDGE user conference.

The session will explore how a customized rules-based engine, accompanied by analytical dashboards and a robust data mart, operate in concert with the Nextech PM systems, resulting in fewer rejections and denials, increased collections, and greater prosperity for medical practices.  It doesn’t matter if your practice performs the billing in house or outsources medical billing to Encoda, these tools can be of great value and benefit your revenue cycle. Encoda’s RCM clients get access to these same tools so they can see how the Encoda billing team, and the practice’s revenue cycle are performing on a daily basis.
