Anesthesia Business Consultants

Anesthesia Business Consultants, LLC (ABC) is the largest billing and practice management company dedicated to the complex and intricate specialty of anesthesia and pain management. It is both an American Society of Anesthesiologists Practice Management Supporter and an Anesthesia Quality Institute Preferred Vendor. Tony Mira, the company’s founder, president and CEO, has maintained a concentration on providing services exclusively to anesthesia and pain management professionals since ABC’s inception more than 30 years ago.

ABC distinguishes itself by providing optimal business tools to strengthen business processes and enhance cash flow—all while keeping pace with constant changes in the health care environment. ABC prides itself on the longevity of its client relationships and its ability to customize its services to the unique requirements of each practice. ABC offers its clients innovative billing and reimbursement services, as well as valuable practice management tools and solutions that allow them to realize their own particular strategic visions and business plans.

The ABC Management Advantage

ABC distinguishes itself through its focus, operational approach and management structure:

• Unlike many competitors who continually redefine their market focus, ABC has remained true to its core market of anesthesiologists, CRNAs and pain management specialists, enhancing the credibility of its insight and advice.
• ABC believes its relationship with its clients is a true partnership, not just a client/vendor relationship. A partnership in which ABC not only helps improve the billing process, but also helps the group operate more efficiently in the OR, and more proactively in its relationship with the hospital.
• ABC’s centralized approach allows effective management and oversight, ensuring consistent results.
• Managing a business based on the input and expectations of shareholders does not always result in the most appropriate business decision making. Since ABC is privately held, it has a much greater flexibility in setting its agenda, managing the business and being responsive to its clients’ needs.

The ABC Service Advantage

ABC offers a full cadre of services, designed to assist your needs, ranging from a specific area of service to an all-encompassing solution partner.

Billing and Reimbursement Services

Because all processing is performed in a central location, ABC maintains a high standard for quality control and efficiency, resulting in faster claims resolution and higher levels of reimbursement. Extensive management reporting options allow both management and client to monitor subtle changes in payer mix and reimbursement patterns. Services include:

• Patient Charge Collection
• Charge Coding, Entry and Claims Scrubbing
• Payment Processing
• Collection Services
• Reporting
• Compliance Services

Management Support Services

No one company is more qualified to furnish critical management information and proactively advise practice decision makers. Although many management companies have isolated areas of strength and specific competence, ABC stands alone in its ability to provide a full range of management support services.

• Strategic Management
• Practice Management
• Practice Consulting
• Financial Services
• Quality Management (PQRS)
• Human Resources Consulting
• Contracting Services
• Compliance & HIPAA
• Education & Training

The ABC Technology Advantage

In order to ensure flexibility with our clients and their varying level of needs, ABC has carefully crafted a portfolio of products to meet our clients’ needs during the entire perioperative process.

Leading-Edge Technologies

ABC has created and maintains the most advanced, secure and reliable software designed especially for anesthesia billing and practice management, F1RSTAnesthesia™. This powerful tool converts clinical information into claims for reimbursement. It supports electronic claims editing to ensure consistently high billing acceptance rates, and minimizes manual intervention in payment posting through direct remittance processing. Providers also are able to receive real-time or historical information through F1RSTAnesthesia’s Web-based technology or advanced data warehousing/data-mining technology.

ABC is committed to constantly updating the F1RSTAnesthesia™ software to adapt to meet the changing needs of its clients. Its accomplished in-house technology staff continually works to improve this powerful software. Updates to this family of products include:

F1RSTAnesthesia Record (FAR), an electronic pen that allows the electronic capture of medical records without any change in the workflow.

F1RSTAccess, a mobile Web application that allows clients to view the reports on their Apple iPhone 3G/4G or iPad device.

F1RSTTouch tracks and reports charge information and provides customers with the ability to quickly collect and report clinical workflow or metric information.

Strategic Partnerships

ABC is pleased to offer strategic alliances which complement our in-house products and technology, and together provide a full arsenal of products designed to encompass the entire perioperative process.

ePREOP

ePREOP™ is an easy-to-use Web-based preoperative and postoperative evaluation tool. It collects and transfers patient data, creates an easy-to-read patient health history, and then uses that information to generate clinical guidelines for the Patient History portion of a preoperative evaluation. It is also capable of providing a method of collecting patients’ surgical and medical histories, along with patients’ credit card information, streamlining any complications on future co-payments. ePREOP also collects and automatically uploads Quality Data requested by AQI and outlined by the WHO survey. ePREOP works with providers to improve outcomes and save health care dollars.

iMDsoft

iMDsoft^® is a leading Anesthesia Information Management System (AIMS) provider for the perioperative space. iMDsoft’s powerful MetaVision^® collects all clinical, operational and physiological data from a patient during a procedure with a combination of automatic operations and touchscreen technology.

This family of products creates a fully-integrated end-to-end solution for the perioperative environment, streamlining workflow and improving outcomes.
