Yakima Valley Radiology selects EBC pm/billing software to improve billing

By Chelsey Ledue

Yakima Valley Radiology in Washington has licensed Zotec Partners' Electronic Billing Center (EBC) practice management/billing software suite in order to streamline its billing process, enhance workflow management, eliminate unnecessary labor, track productivity and receive payments from patients in a timely manner.

"The business logic in the product really speaks to efficiency and understanding of the radiology billing process," said Michelle Juette, Yakima's billing manager. "Zotec Partners' ability to interface with A-Life, as well as handling all of the different file structures from our various locations, gives us a very productive solution, and the decision support data mining tool is simply wonderful."

The nine-radiologist practice, based in Yakima, Wash., provides professional radiology reading services at Memorial Valley Imaging, Yakima Valley Memorial Hospital, Yakima Regional Medical and Cardiac Center, Toppenish Community Hospital and Kittitas Valley Community Hospital. The practice also provides professional services and over-reads to other facilities in the area.

"We're very pleased that Yakima Valley Radiology selected our technology to help manage their accounts receivable," said T. Scott Law, president and CEO of Zotec Partners. "The group will benefit greatly from the use of the Electronic Billing Center, which is designed to automate the radiology revenue cycle management process."

Zotec Partners serves the hospital-based specialty market, offering a suite of medical billing and practice management tools designed to make operations more efficient and productive in medical offices. Company officials say the Electronic Billing Center practice management/billing software suite is in use in 45 states and more than 5,500 physician offices in the United States.
