Home Forums Discussions General Discussion Another Sermo member looking for AC...

I missed this one while touring through Italy and Greece- it's a doc looking to buy "Amazing Charts with Billing".

That's it for AC chart references during the past month. The only 2 other EMRs with a presence are AthenaHealth and e-MDs. Over there they refreshingly tend to be anti-EHR, anti-CCHIT, and anti-eprescribing.

There's still the guy who made a bet with David Winn, MD attacking him at every corner since he claims that he won the $1000 bet that paper charts can be better than going fully electronic. Well, the guy makes $650000.00 a year on paper charts... incredible, huh?

Ya but what's his specialty, where is he located (regional fees vary a whole hell of a lot I'm learning from the IMP folks. Here in CNY we get $87.75 Medicare for a level 4 est. patient office visit, while in I believe it is Salem OR they are getting $140! That is an almost 60% difference if my estimates are not far off. Now imagine some thoratic surgeon and some of those same kind of differences, us east coasters get screwed big time)? But yes that is serious money for sure. Is that net take home or some form of a gross??? Damn Nancy and I would be forever giddy for half of that... And so would most others I'm sure.

He's an FP, sees about 50 patients a day. That totally sideswiped Dr. Winn. He didn't expect going through the tax papers of a guy who spends 10 minutes per patient, day in, day out.

BTW, that may be the medicine of the future in the USA. There is another Sermo thread about how the English GP's run their practices- they are paid to see in volume in one grand old HMO setting, so if some little old lady on your panel comes in for a visit, she is limited to 1-2 problems and any small procedure is sent out (s.a. PAP smears, EKGs, PFT's, etc) since they don't pay for those. They don't even have hospital patients to see. Fascinating depiction on the life of a GP in England-
