We have all been in this situation, you walk into the office ( or home office) sit down and realize a large part of your morning is going to be spent scouring through CMS Medicare DDE screens.

So you sit down and prepare to scour through dozens of different screens, each time having to enter in the same type of information, only to have squinted your eyes at each individual claim trying to decipher if this claim is rejected, in paid status, suspended….

On rare occasions, you will look down with bewilderment and see something you need to code that just makes you wonder what the back story of this could be.

Thankfully, Episode Alert has taken the feedback of 100’s providers just like yourself and decided to make your lives easier.

Smart DDE is a new service that will transform the way you start your day. We have developed a process that will pull all your Medicare claims status and organize it into a neat and user-friendly summary report.

We also added a new feature that checks off claims you have already fixed, allowing you to have a clear picture of what work needs to be done.
