With superior coordination, technique, and nearly ten years of experience, Apollo works with EM groups and hospitals like yours to help you win this race.

Data mining – using Apollo's flexible reporting capabilities – helps you to better understand the business side of your practice and helps you become a better practitioner!

Coding regulation changes, data capture and analysis, receivables follow-up, and credentials tracking are essential to the success of your group. Apollo codes and bills for the emergency care you and your colleagues provide, but we also manage the tedious processes required for carrier enrollment, communicate with even the most difficult Medicare carriers, and are productive and proactive on your behalf in communicating with patients, providers, and payors. Partnering with Apollo allows you to be ahead of the curve with data capture and performance tracking. More than an emergency physician group billing company, Apollo sets the pace for the future of the specialty with group data capture and analysis expertise. You’ll appreciate the practice management intelligence provided by quarterly, quantitative reports called Vital Signs.

VITAL SIGNS IS DATA YOU CAN USE TO MAKE YOUR BUSINESS BETTER.
Apollo is different from traditional billing companies because it provides its clients with productivity metrics, patient arrival and departure information, as well as clinical quality feedback. In addition to billing and collecting, it is a true information resource for its clients.

The Vital Signs report helps you manage your department more effectively and gives you a terrific new way to gauge your success. Let’s face it: measuring is the new face of medicine. With PQRS and other requirements for reimbursement, tracking your performance has never meant more.

The Vital Signs report is highly acclaimed by administrators and ED team members at all levels. The report is issued quarterly and includes sections for each of the following critical areas:

Patient volume statistics
Is the census rising? Is the payor mix changing? Are there patient flow bottlenecks that result from peak arrival times or use of ancillary departments? Vital Signs helps you visualize this data and develop an appropriate action plan.

Provider productivity
Are the providers in your group seeing an appropriate number of patients per hour? Is the use of mid-level providers increasing? Who are your star performers? This information is provided to the group AND to the individual provider for his/her own reflection.

Quality management
Apollo works to remain “out in front” of the requirements for quality management with its on-going QM audits, tracking of quality indicators and can work with you for custom reports of chart information for your own internal tracking of trends and to provide data for working with the providers in your group.

The Emergency Department is a great place to go in a crisis, but it’s not a good place to have a crisis – at least in terms of its management. That’s why Apollo regularly issues Vital Signs, a quarterly report of statistics and trends such as turnaround times, provider productivity, ancillary service utilization, payor mix, and more to its physician clients.

“The Vital Signs report is the best tool for Emergency Department management.”
