FAQs
How is a surgical EHR different from a generic one?
A surgical EHR starts with how surgeons document. That means touch-based charting, visual diagrams for subspecialty workflows, and general surgery ICD-10 codes built in, instead of generic templates your team has to rework. ModMed EMA is designed this way, with AI.
Can I chart on an iPad in clinic?
Yes. With ModMed EMA, you can document findings with touch-based tools on your iPad, and diagrams appear in the patient’s chart.
How does an EHR help with surgical coding?
ModMed EMA suggests using surgery-specific codes and modifiers as you document, while also accounting for clinical workflows, such as in-office procedures, and billing rules, such as NCCI edits, decision for surgery, and global periods. This helps your billing team spend less time re-entering information, and you review every suggestion before it’s finalized.
Can my EHR help me track MIPS?
It can. ModMed EMA includes a built-in scorecard that tracks your quality measures in view throughout the year, instead of leaving the work for year-end.
Does the EHR support my subspecialty?
The ModMed EMA EHR includes surgical workflows for subspecialties such as colorectal, breast, vascular, and foregut and hepatobiliary surgery.
