FLEX EMR - MedPro’s Cutting Edge Electronic Medical Records Solution

Melissa Zachariasz founded MedPro, a billing company that specializes in securing insurance reimbursements for providers of mental health and substance abuse treatments. More than an accounts receivable professional, she serves as a passionate patient advocate who has worked with government officials and care providers to stay abreast of industry trends. Under the leadership of Melissa Zachariasz, MedPro developed a cost-effective and customizable electronic medical records solution that adapts for use by any provider. MedPro FLEX EMR is a completely paperless data entry solution. With Web-based software, no installation or configuration takes place. All a provider needs is a computer and Internet access. After data entry, the system generates billing and receivables data and transmits it directly to MedPro’s system. Once entered, all clinical records are immediately accessible throughout the system. In today’s security-conscious environment, MedPro’s FLEX EMR’s security features exceed HIPPA requirements for client records, and staff training modules incorporated into the software enhance providers’ ability to achieve the compliance standards of the Joint Commission and the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF). One of the many advantages of the MedPro FLEX EMR is its compatibility with existing MedPro software, although it also functions on a stand-alone basis. Providers who currently do not use MedPro’s system can take advantage of FLEX EMR without having to switch their existing records and billing systems.
