Practice Management application Helps Growing Concierge Medicine Segment

The application, DAQoffice, scales back billing so that physicians can bill patients directly than through insurance companies. While the system still allows providers to document diagnosis codes, it won’t automatically generate an insurance claim. Instead users can develop an invoice for the patient. This is a key feature for concierge medical offices or self-pay practices.

Antek HealthWare is taking a step toward niche offerings by releasing a practice management system designed for concierge medical practices.

Concierge medicine, also known as “boutique” or “retainer” medicine, is a unique form of health care in which patients are responsible for all services rendered. Instead of the traditional model of using an insurance provider, patients pay directly to the physician or clinic. In return, patients get premium health care with 24/7 access to doctors, unlimited exams, VIP waiting rooms and more.

With the release of DAQoffice, Antek HealthWare is reaching out to the growing segment of physicians practicing concierge medicine. It’s an alluring option for doctors as they face lower reimbursements from Medicare and private insurers.

DAQoffice is a fully functional practice management solution for any size of concierge practice. The system includes patient registration, appointment scheduling and patient billing applications. It is HIPAA compliant, web-based and integrates with third party EMR/EHR application systems.
