With the Intuit Health Patient Portal, the nation's leader in patient-to-provider communication solutions, patients can pre-register, request appointments, refill prescriptions, understand and pay bills, etc.

American Medical Software (AMS) has selected Intuit Inc's Intuit Health to provide its physician practices with a patient portal solution. Through this agreement, millions of patients of AMS clients will now be able to easily communicate with their provider and complete key tasks online.

With the Intuit Health Patient Portal, the nation's leader in patient-to-provider communication solutions, patients can pre-register, request appointments, refill prescriptions, understand and pay bills, complete medical forms, receive lab results and clinical summaries, conduct virtual office visits, and exchange messages for related care and administrative issues using a secure, online solution, anytime from anywhere. Improving patient communications, providing better accessibility, and offering tools to increase data accuracy will give staff more time to care for patients at the time of their visit.

"We're committed to providing products and service with excellence, so we chose a like-minded company that offers impressive patient portal technology with the broadest base of coverage," said W. David Scott, president of AMS. "Together with Intuit Health, we can offer our physician practices a great value in EMR and patient portal technology -- a necessary combination for Meaningful Use ."

Americans increasingly want online assistance for their health care needs. A 2010 Intuit Health survey showed that 72 percent of adults would use an online tool that would help them pay their medical bills , communicate with their doctor more easily, make appointments and get lab results. Eighty-four percent said they would complete their medical forms online before their doctor's appointment if they had that option.

"We are pleased to be able to work with a leader in the medical software industry that can offer this solution to a large segment of small group practices to help them increase patient satisfaction, improve efficiencies and lower their costs," said Steve Malik, president and general manager of Intuit Health. "Thousands of small group practices will now be able to enhance their physician-patient relationships by giving their patients the ability to communicate with their doctor easily, anytime, day or night."
