Within the past year, I’ve also grown to appreciate Safari. However, Google Chrome has been my browser of choice for several months. In fact, Chrome is now my default browser on all my computers. According to this article, I’m not the only one.

It could just be personal preference or how I use the Internet, but I feel that Chrome gives me the best performance and speed. I like Chrome’s single address/search field, clean button bar, and plenty of real estate for the site I want to view.

Fortunately, I can demonstrate CAU’s Web Edition HME software in any Web browser. They’re all free downloads. As a Web Edition client, you’re not locked in to using IE or any required downloads.

That’s because Web Edition is the only HME software that’s 100% secure Web pages. Check in from any computer or mobile device … from anywhere.

Do you have a default browser preference? Or do you switch browsers to view certain sites?

Looking for ways to save time and cut business expenses? Look no further than Web Edition HME software.

Because Web Edition is native to your Web browser, you can type in a drop-down list, just as you can on any other Web site. You can also use your arrow keys to navigate any Web Edition drop-down list.

For example, when adding an order with a chargeable upgrade ABN, click to the ABN page for that line item. ABN Type defaults to “No ABN is Required.” Simply type “s” on your keyboard for the drop-down list to focus on “Supplied Item is a Chargeable Upgrade.”

Tab to the next field, which will determine the correct G modifier to use. Press your keyboard’s down arrow key if the ABN Waiver has not been signed.

You’re now well on your way to completing your ABN order in record time. And your hands never leave the keyboard when adding this important data.

That’s just one example of Web Edition taking advantage of its native Web environment. (And, it’s the only "Web-based" HME software that’s native to your browser!)

PECOS Database Management: just another Web Edition freebie enhancement that our clients absolutely love! Select an existing physician from the smart lookup or add a new Doctor automatically from the NPPES database.

At the top of the "State & NPI Numbers" page, click the "Lookup from PECOS" button to automatically match the selected doctor’s NPI against the PECOS enrollment database.

If the physician is PECOS enrolled, the physician will display in green on all lookups. Plus, "PECOS Enrolled" will display in green in the Doctor file and in Order Entry when the enrolled physician is selected as the prescribing physician.

No need to download the huge PECOS database PDF and reference each physician manually. We built this handy feature right into Web Edition for you.

And you don’t have to wait for a semi-annual software release to use this time-saving tool. Enjoy it now in Web Edition!

When the time is right for you, let us know that you’re ready to 1) save time and 2) cut business expenses. Upgrade to Web Edition HME software to help you achieve both objectives.

No printing CMNs, no tying up a phone line to fax CMNs, no stuffing envelopes and mailing CMNs, no SASEs. You’ll save on all of those expenses and manual labor with My CAU Fax.

We can connect your Web Edition software to a secure Web fax service. Use My CAU Fax to fax your CMNs to the corresponding physicians with a cover letter for each.

You can even allow the physicians to toll-free fax all completed CMNs back to you. Again, no phone line necessary. They’ll be received securely in your Web Edition Report Center.

You’ve heard the adage about how things usually occur in threes? Well, three HME providers within the past ten days experienced server failures.

CAU’s offices normally work at an uptempo pace, but you should see how we kick into overdrive when an HME provider’s revenue is threatened. (After all, HME providers have enough hurdles to get properly reimbursed!)

This entire process springs into action: coordination, acquiring the latest data, creating a new Web Edition world, migrating the data, creating user accounts, testing data, introducing staff to Web Edition navigation, and usability with our close monitoring. This process goes day and night so that the provider may be productive the following day.

We love these success stories. They exemplify why we’re here.

I plan to interview a few of the owners to share their stories with you. Meanwhile, blue skies!

Right now, Medicare’s ineligible ordering/referring provider edits just alert you to a potential problem. However, on April 5, Medicare will begin rejecting claims if the ordering or referring doctor hasn’t enrolled in PECOS.

So what can you do? If you use CAU’s HME software, the answer is "take a deep breath and relax." We’ve got you covered.

To help you get the reimbursement that’s rightfully yours, we’ve enhanced our HME software to ensure that you receive the correct physician information directly from PECOS.

For example, any physician in the PECOS database displays in green in our Web Edition HME software. No downloading the huge PECOS PDF; no manual searching necessary.

If you wish to reference the PECOS database, we’ve added a smart lookup within Web Edition to make it as easy as possible for you. You never have to leave Web Edition to get the PECOS answers you need.

Over-regulation erects barriers to your success; we knock ‘em down. That’s just the way we prefer to serve our user base.

Please contact me, Brian Williams, to see this complimentary enhancement in action. It’s available to you today.
