Scheduling and Registration

Make scheduling easy for patients and staff

Appointment scheduling and registration are crucial steps in your revenue cycle. Your practice management system should fully integrate registration and scheduling so you can automate eligibility verification, customize functionality, optimize utilization of appointment times, and offer patient self-scheduling.

Automate eligibility verification

A remote transaction server (RTS) connects with payer systems via online access and allows you to validate patient benefits eligibility, determine coverage, and estimate patient responsibility. With NextGen Enterprise PM, RTS eligibility verification can be fully automated and scheduled at your convenience.

Advantages of NextGen Healthcare solutions

Insurance eligibility verification

A significant portion of denied claims are due to noncovered services or coverage limitations. Verifying coverage before providing services is vital for preventing denied claims.

Knowledge of payers

When the patient registers and identifies their insurance provider, pinpoint the exact plan. Be proactive—let patients know up front which services are not covered.

Integrated practice management

Your practice management system should support efficient registration and appointment scheduling. NextGen Enterprise PM streamlines your workflow with cutting-edge functionality for registration and scheduling.

Self-scheduling

Save office staff time by offering self-scheduling as a part of your patient portal. Scheduling information should connect directly to your practice management system.

Automated appointment reminders

Your EHR and appointment-scheduling technology integrates with automated outreach tools. Schedule appointment reminders using text alerts, emails, or voice messages based on patient preference.

The advanced notification of appointments, the filling out patient pre registrations, and knowing that their patient information and their health questionnaires are going to integrate directly into NextGen [Enterprise] EHR is very, very powerful and saves time.
