SchedulingManage your practice’s schedule easily with the Lytec multi-view calendar featuring familiar functionality that minimizes clicks. Using the Lytec appointment scheduler, quickly find the best appointment to meet both the patient’s and the practice’s needs. Lytec 2014 simplifies patient scheduling, optimizes physician time and helps you allocate resources based on actual daily patient volumes.

BillingClaims are generated using customizable rules-based grids that allow your practice to easily address different carrier filing requirements. The flexibility of the grid system enables you to enter limitless claim submission scenarios, and it allows your practice to make changes to address future payer changes and government mandates. Lytec 2014 allows you to specify whether the carrier is using ICD-9 or ICD-10, and it provides warning if you enter the wrong code. These capabilities help to both save time and reduce coding errors. It’s also easy to set the new code when you add new carriers.

Revenue ManagementEasily track, measure and collect payment for the services you provide in less time than you thought possible. The revenue management feature in Lytec 2014 enables you to check for errors with pre-claim editing before you submit your claims for payment. The revenue management feature also checks for insurance eligibility before a service is performed. With Lytec, the electronic remittance advice (ERA) is translated and displayed in an intuitive window that allows the biller to review the payment information, make changes if necessary, and post each individual payment and adjustment.

Lytec MobileUsing the combined offering of Lytec 2014 and Lytec Mobile, a no-fee application for the iPad® and iPhone®, Lytec can help your practice run smarter, optimize reimbursement and help improve productivity. Lytec Mobile provides you anytime and anywhere access to vital information so you can track your practice’s performance efficiently and easily. This ICD-10 ready app allows you to use your phone or tablet to view your schedule, transmit charges and capture diagnosis entries from anywhere. Using the combined offerings, Lytec 2014 and Lytec Mobile solutions support simplified patient accounting and can help you track and submit claims to your biller – all at the tap of a button.
