The complete AMICAS automation suite includes an integrated, yet modular, RIS, PACS, teleradiology, document management, and revenue cycle management platform for radiology groups and practices of all sizes as well as other ambulatory imaging businesses.

At RBMA, AMICAS, Inc. is announcing the general availability of its latest revenue cycle management system release, the industrial strength Vision Series^TM Financials 4.0, a modern, Windows-based solution for automating radiology billing processes. AMICAS, Inc. has already signed contracts with several large radiology practices for this new billing platform. Radiology Limited of Tucson, AZ, Radiology Alliance of Nashville, TN, and Tristán Associates of Harrisburg, PA, are just a few examples of radiology businesses with which AMICAS, Inc. has signed contracts.

Vision Series Financials 4.0, which offers CashFinder technology to automate the identification and management of denials and follow-up workflows, combines a modern, recently revamped architecture with pioneering functionality to streamline the latest techniques for advanced revenue cycle management. This solution is designed to significantly reduce operating costs and increase collections. Several new enhancements have been added to the automation support provided by the system and have streamlined the work required to deploy and support revenue cycle management operations over time.

"We evaluated other revenue cycle management solutions, but AMICAS, Inc. is the only company with both a comprehensive solution and a proven company history in radiology billing," said Vicki McHughes, business manager at Radiology Consultants Inc. of Oklahoma City, OK. "We are confident that Vision Series Financials will improve our operating efficiencies and lower our collection costs."

"We are proud that some of the country's most elite radiology businesses are choosing AMICAS, Inc. as their radiology IT partner," said Paul Merrild, vice president of marketing at AMICAS, Inc. "We believe this is evidence that the market recognizes the benefit of working with a strong, independent and innovative company that is focused on taking radiology automation to new levels of effectiveness and efficiency."

In addition to demonstrating its new Vision Series Financials solution at RBMA, AMICAS, Inc. will highlight its high return on investment image and information management solution suite, including:

- Vision Series RIS, which drives administrative staff productivity and revenue opportunities. This industry leading ambulatory RIS solution offers robust scheduling, charge capture, and workflow capabilities.

This new zero install solution uses common e-mail and secure messaging to deliver images, reports, and information to any e-mail-enabled device via a secure Web-based portal. Vision Reach also provides referring physicians with the ability to request orders for new studies via the new order entry module.

- RadStream^TM, which reduces medical-legal risk by automating and documenting critical results communications. RadStream also automates the prioritization of imaging exams based on a “most likely to interrupt” method, which has been shown to dramatically increase radiologist productivity.

- Insight Dashboards^TM, which is a Web-based business intelligence platform, provides access to customized, near real time, easy-to-read data for key performance metrics and indicators, including both clinical and operational factors. This solution provides leadership with excellent visibility into operations.
