From an unassuming home-styled office suite on Leander Road, MediMobile provides mobile charge- and data- capture technology to doctors and care providers in just about every state across the nation.
Were a software company that develops and delivers charge-capture and information-capture software for physicians, MediMobile CEO James Enis said. Its very specialized for mobile doctors, doctors that [visit patients] in the hospital, [conduct] home visits, hospice [visits], stuff like that.
MediMobile has replaced the paper billing method with a digital platform that helps reduce lags in time and cuts loss in the revenue cycle that links insurers and health care providers, Enis said.
If youre a doctor and you were at the hospital and you filled out your paper[work] and grabbed all the paperwork you have to have so you know who to bill and then at some point get that to your billerwho quite frequently is in another stateit takes weeks. [Our method] takes seconds, Enis said, noting that doctors who use MediMobile get paid much more quickly than through the traditional method.
MediMobile offers its suite of tools to its clients for one price, Enis said.
Physicians, despite the folklore, are in trouble. Our goal is to help them. And so one of the ways we do it is we dont nickel-and-dime them. You get everything; use what you want. And its one costbecause theyre trying to run a business, and they need consistent costs, he said.
The company has grown from a small team in 2005 to nearly 50 employees, including a round-the-clock support team, as technology has improved, MediMobiles Chief Operating Officer Paul Valenzuela said.
Ten years ago there wasnt all this cool technology like today. Today everybody has an iPhone, Valenzuela said. So we started on what I could call an archaic platform, which was a smartphone at the time, but we were able to make it work.
Today, the massive popularity and user-friendly ease of modern smartphones has helped MediMobile to build a range of clients from single-physician practices to some of the largest hospital networks in the nation. The software can be custom-tailored to work for any provider regardless of size, Valenzuela said.
Enis said MediMobile has created a unique product for its clients.
We are the only charge-capture company that also provides medical billing services, Enis said. We are excited that weve created a service that really hasnt existed, especially one that helps doctors earn more while giving them more time to focus on patient care.
