In the articles below we lay out our multi-decade history; the evolution of our take on the nature of the physician’s current business environment; the progress of our efforts through our long association with our clients to meaningfully address these problems; up to and including a description of Encoda’s unique, patent-pending processes that have recently been enabled by HIPAA’s adoption of X12 billing standards—processes have already yielded dramatic financial gains for its early adopters. This paper is neither politic, short nor simple but neither are the persistent problems that have bedeviled doctors and evaded solution for these same number of decades.

You are told that in order to seek redress with a payer you have to appeal a claim. Wrong. As a matter of fact it is impossible to obtain redress one claim at a time.

That is the soul purpose of the Pea… read more…

The healthcare industry is a multi trillion dollar industry. Not surprisingly most medical care is provided by doctors. Yet, shockingly, of the 700,000 or so doctors in the United States there are fewer than 1,500 practices that have more than 25 providers.  Cher has more outfits than that. Doctors are forced to be players in card game the only rule of which is that they lose… read more…

You cannot solve a problem until you identify what the problem really is. There is nothing more seductive than attempting to solve a problem you do not have. If problems marched obediently to their solutions they would not be problems… read more…
