Advanced Software Feature Equips Facilities to Thrive in Face of Medicaid Cuts

Northbrook, IL (PRWEB) May 02, 2012

MedicaidFast, a dynamic software product designed to eliminate system-wide inefficiencies in the Medicaid process, introduced its CEO Dashboard feature on Wednesday at the Life Services Network Annual Meeting and Exhibition in Chicago.

The CEO Dashboard equips executives at Medicaid facilities with an unprecedented caliber of control over their operations, including real-time monitoring of all of a facilitys Medicaid applications. The new dimensions of oversight facilitated by the feature are unavailable in any other software product, providing critical advantages to those looking to stay profitable in todays budget-strained Medicaid climate.

The depth of reporting offered by the CEO Dashboard allows facilities to devise new and aggressive strategies for getting the most out of the Medicaid process, said Larry Magill, founder and CEO of MedicaidFast. With so many facilities hurting due to missed reimbursements and delays in payment, you cant overemphasize the importance of implementing versatile, tech-driven solutions into your day-to-day operations.

MedicaidFast automates many of the outdated, paper-based administrative functions that obstruct the timely submission and approval of Medicaid applications, allowing facilities to accelerate their administrative timelines and minimize lapses in coverage. While the software produces a wealth of analytical data regarding a facilitys Medicaid applications, the CEO Dashboard gives authorized users a superior level of data access that includes aggregated updates on an unlimited number of facilities.

Users can customize the CEO Dashboard to supply in-depth graphs and reports on any criteria of their choosing, including application status, region, facility type, caseworker, and assigned administrator. This empowers users to make confident, informed decisions regarding Medicaid at their facilities, minimizing any number of risks that can prove toxic to a bottom line.
