updated 02:15 pm EDT, Tue June 21, 2005
MacPractice MD with charts
is a comprehensive, easy to use, affordable, electronic medical records option for MacPractice MD users. MacPractice also reiterated plans to add scheduling, electronic insurance submission, image storage, and integrated word processing by the end of June.
MacPractice Scheduling will interface with iCal, providing doctors the ability to take their schedule of appointments on an iPod, phone, Palm, or PowerBook, or place it on the Internet or .Mac. MacPractice EClaims provides online eligibility verification, claim tracking, electronic referrals, and claims transmission via Internet or modem.
"Now doctors who prefer a Mac environment can have a complete solution from scheduling to charting to billing. And the management features of both SpringCharts EMR and MacPractice MD will greatly improve the productivity of the typical practice, Jack Smyth, President and CEO of Spring Medical, said.
Introductory pricing for MacPractice MD is available until August 31, 2005 starting at $2000 for a single user. Networked versions cost an additional $500 per 5 users. Scheduling and EClaims are available options for $500 each. The company is also offering an additional Independence Day discount of 25% until July 15, 2005. MacPractice software requires MySQL, available from MacPractice for its clients for $250 per office.
"In May of 2004, when we first began creating MacPractice MD, we planned with Spring Medical to integrate with SpringCharts EMR. We thought it was important to be able to offer physicians a complete Mac OS X solution as soon as possible. And now we can this summer," said Mark Hollis, President and Director of Client Relations.
