LPC Advantage

Providing services to physician practices is our sole line of business. By time-sharing our information system, our clients have the considerable resources of LPC/MPC and Allscripts at their disposal, without the costly alternative of having to purchase and maintain a computer system. LPC/MPC's network of offices across Louisiana and Mississippi allows our clients to receive the best physician practice management services available with the benefit of responsive, local support.

In addition to delivering on-line access to the Allscripts TIGER™ and EMR™ software, LPC/MPC brings a wide array of value-added services to clients. These services range from expensive additional-cost Allscripts TIGER™ programs and modules which are available to our clients at little or no charge, to customized reports and programs not available at all from Allscripts TIGER™.

Local Setup, Training, Support and Service
  • Hardware installation and local hardware maintenance personnel
  • Assistance with initial database file setup
  • Software installation and upgrades of the basic Allscripts TIGER™ and EMR™ software
  • Personnel training and support
 
LPC/MPC Services and Programs Not Available on Stand-Alone Allscripts Systems
  • Time-share Allscripts TIGER™ on our system instead of purchasing (Shared Service)
  • Time-share Allscripts TIGER™ and outsource business office functions to us (Practice Management Service)
  • Daily data backups with off-site storage provided by LPC/MPC
  • Generation of Individual EOMBs to attach to secondary claims
    Individual patient Explanation of Medicare Benefits are printed when claims secondary to Medicare are printed. This eliminates the need to photocopy and highlight bulk remittances to attach to claims secondary to Medicare. This service is only available through LPC/MPC; the stand-alone +Allscripts PM™ software does not offer any kind or EOMB printouts.
  • Customized Allscripts TIGER™ Reports and Programs:

Short A/R

LPC/MPC's Short A/R report condenses the standard Allscripts TIGER™ Aged A/R Report. Page 1 sorts the patient types in numerical order by patient type, printing one line per patient type; page 2 prints the same data in descending order by total A/R; page 3 prints a bar graph of page 2.
 

Charges by Patient Type (MTD vs. YTD vs. Last Year)

This 3 page report ranks patient type charges in descending order by year-to-date volume and compares each to month-to-month and last-year charge volume for the same patient type. Percentages are given for all, enabling a "snapshot" of patient demographic shifts. Allscripts TIGER™ doesn't offer this report.
 

PC Download

The LPC/MPC program makes it easy to transfer Allscripts TIGER™ reports to a spreadsheet or database program on the user's personal computer.
