You chose allergy and immunology because treatment improves patient quality of life dramatically. Your EHR should support that mission. Instead it creates obstacles.
Immunotherapy build up schedules require manual tracking outside the system. Venom shot protocols get documented in free text notes instead of structured data. Biologic infusion documentation takes twenty clicks. Prior authorization for Xolair or Dupixent requires printing forms and faxing because the EHR cannot handle specialty medication workflows.
Patient shows for scheduled injection. Staff cannot quickly verify which antigen, what dose, or when last administered. Critical safety information lives in multiple screens requiring navigation and memory. Risk increases because technology fails basic allergist needs.
Insurance verification misses coverage gaps for expensive biologics. Claims deny because generic coding templates lack allergy specific documentation supporting medical necessity. Revenue leaks because your EHR treats immunotherapy like standard office visits.
Harris CareTracker ends this. Our cloud based medical billing software includes specialty templates, immunotherapy tracking, biologic medication workflows, and allergy specific documentation supporting accurate coding and reimbursement.
Allergy and immunology practices need more than basic EHR and practice management capabilities. Immunotherapy protocols require structured tracking. Biologic medications demand prior authorization workflows. Testing documentation needs device integration. Harris CareTracker delivers specialty specific tools within unified platform.
Scheduling allergy shots differs from booking consultations. Insurance verification for biologics requires different checks than standard office visits. Billing immunotherapy involves complex coding most practice management systems handle poorly. Harris CareTracker practice management software adapts to allergy specialty requirements.
Schedule build up shots, maintenance injections, and observation periods with automated reminders and safety interval enforcement. Staff sees upcoming appointments with dose information, antigen details, and protocol status without searching multiple screens.
Verify coverage for biologics during scheduling. Flag prior authorization requirements. Identify patient responsibility for high cost medications before administration. Prevent surprise billing issues and revenue delays.
Manage injection patients separately from consultation appointments. Track observation periods. Alert staff when safe discharge time arrives. Optimize clinic flow handling both scheduled appointments and walk in allergy shots.
Automated reminders for upcoming maintenance injections, biologic infusion appointments, and follow up visits. Reduce no shows and gaps in treatment adherence through systematic patient communication.
Allergists need clinical documentation capturing symptom severity, trigger identification, treatment response, and medication safety. Generic EHR templates force allergy information into primary care structures. Harris CareTracker provides specialty specific documentation supporting clinical excellence and billing compliance.
Document allergic rhinitis severity using validated scoring. Capture asthma control assessment with standardized tools. Record food allergy history with reaction details and trigger foods. Templates structure information supporting diagnosis, treatment decisions, and coding accuracy.
Build up schedules, dose escalation, maintenance protocols, and adverse reaction documentation integrated within patient records. Protocol compliance tracking. Safety monitoring. Lot number recording. Everything required for safe immunotherapy administration.
Document Xolair, Dupixent, Nucala, Fasenra, and other biologic administrations with templates capturing dosage, route, site, vital signs, observation period, and adverse events. Generate encounter notes supporting appropriate billing codes automatically.
Skin prick testing, intradermal testing, patch testing, and spirometry results document using structured formats. Patient questionnaires for quality of life, symptom control, and treatment satisfaction integrate with clinical notes. Data supports treatment decisions and outcomes measurement.
Import spirometry data from pulmonary function equipment. Pull specific IgE results from reference labs. Integrate allergy testing devices when available. Reduce manual data entry while improving documentation accuracy.
Medication allergy alerts specific to allergy practice medications. Drug interaction checking for immunosuppressants and biologics. Vaccination status tracking. Asthma action plan generation. Evidence based guidelines integrated into workflows.
Allergy and immunology billing involves unique CPT codes, complex immunotherapy billing rules, and high cost biologic administration requiring detailed documentation. Generic medical billing software misses revenue because templates lack allergy specificity. Harris CareTracker revenue cycle management software handles allergy coding correctly.
Current codes for skin testing, venom immunotherapy, allergen immunotherapy, biologic administration, pulmonary function testing, and allergy procedures. Automatic updates when codes change. No manual tracking required.
Correctly code antigen preparation, initial dosing, maintenance injections, and venom immunotherapy following complex Medicare and commercial payer rules. Templates capture required elements supporting medical necessity and appropriate reimbursement.
High-cost specialty medications require J codes, drug waste documentation, and detailed administration notes. Templates ensure complete documentation supporting clean claims for expensive treatments. Reduce denials from incomplete documentation.
Verify coverage for biologics before administration. Identify prior authorization requirements. Calculate patient responsibility for high cost medications. Prevent billing surprises and collection problems.
Automated scrubbing catches missing modifiers, incomplete documentation, and coding errors before claim submission. Allergy specific validation rules check for common denial triggers. Submit clean claims accelerating reimbursement.
Track denials by payer, service type, and denial reason. Identify patterns in biologic medication denials. Appeal systematically with documentation supporting medical necessity. Recover revenue from initially denied claims.
Allergy treatment success depends on patient adherence. Missing immunotherapy appointments delays build up. Stopping biologics prematurely allows symptom return. Environmental control recommendations get forgotten without reinforcement. Harris CareTracker patient engagement tools support compliance through systematic communication.
Immunotherapy requires precise tracking from vial mixing through years of maintenance injections. Dose escalation follows protocols. Safety intervals prevent reactions. Lot numbers trace antigens. Manual tracking creates risk. Harris CareTracker immunotherapy management systematizes safety and documentation.
Build up schedules generate automatically based on selected protocol. Maintenance dosing tracks with automated scheduling. Venom immunotherapy follows specialty specific escalation. System enforces protocols reducing manual calculation and dosing errors.
Record antigen lot numbers, mixing dates, and expiration dates. Alert when vials approach expiration. Track which patients received specific lots if recall occurs. Maintain complete traceability for patient safety and regulatory compliance.
System warns when injection scheduled too soon after previous dose. Flags patients with history of systemic reactions. Prompts provider review before administering when safety concerns exist. Technology supports clinical judgment with systematic safety checks.
Structured templates document local reactions, systemic reactions, and anaphylaxis using standardized severity grading. Reaction history visible during subsequent visits. Documentation supports protocol adjustments and medical decision making.
Monitor symptom improvement through treatment course. Track medication usage changes. Document quality of life improvements. Demonstrate treatment efficacy supporting patient retention and referral generation.
Skin testing, specific IgE panels, component testing, and food challenges generate data requiring documentation supporting diagnosis and treatment planning. Manual result entry wastes time and introduces errors. Harris CareTracker integrates testing with clinical documentation.
