NEW! Provider and Practice Dashboards

Sometimes you can take a good thing and make it even better. Our design team has refreshed the Provider and Practice screens and filled them with easy-to-access data to make your life easier.

Dashboard Highlights:

• Quick links to Reporting and New Encounter screens
• Performance graphs
• New and Established Patient trend charts for Providers
• One click to comprehensive NPPES Provider data

And best of all, you now have the ability to set up a Review Plan for Practices and Providers based on the review frequency of your choice.

We’ll show you when your last review was completed, and when you should schedule your next review. You can customize your preferred review frequency (number of days) at any time by going to the Edit screen for the displayed Practice or Provider.

And we know you’ll like the quick view performance graphs to the right of the review panel, giving you billing and coding accuracy at a glance!

We invite you to take a look at and explore our new dashboard screens. Let us know what you think, we look forward to hearing from you!

New CPT Code for COVID-19 Testing

As health professionals and auditors, we’re all very much involved in recording data for the testing and treatment of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). As of this week the AMA has announced the addition of a new CPT code to help record and track patients who are impacted by the virus.

The new Catergory I CPT code and descriptor are:

87635
Infectious agent detection by nucleic acid (DNA or RNA); severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) (Coronavirus disease [COVID-19]), amplified probe technique

This new code is effective immediately for use as the industry standard for the reporting of tests for the novel coronavirus across the nation’s health care system and has been fully integrated into our Swiftaudit software.

Feature Focus: Coding Toolset

Our goal and ongoing commitment is to provide a practical, streamlined set of coding tools that are both easy to access and appropriate for use by anyone in the practice. We’ve listened carefully to feedback and created the following time-saving collection of tools:

Our comprehensive search tool allows you to find CPTs, HCPCS and ICDs using partial codes or keywords. But that’s just the beginning! Once you’ve found what you’re looking for, we’ll also show you a whole set of helpful information including additional codes, excludes, next codes and notes from MedlinePlus, just to name a few.
