Lytec Features

New in Lytec 2010

Market-leading Practice Management Software

The Lytec® practice management (PM) system from McKesson offers the stability that thousands of users trust to run their practices and get their bills paid — only now Lytec is better. With 2010, Lytec debuts all-new technology that makes the application fast and easy-to-use, so office staff can accomplish more in less time. From scheduling to billing to revenue management, Lytec has your practice covered.

New User Interface with Ribbon Technology

Ribbons streamline typical user actions by combining a command bar and a tab bar. The combination of commands and tabs are intuitive and improve
productivity for office staff by making it easer for a user to find what he or she is looking for. In addition, the new user interface will make training new staff on Lytec 2010 much easier than in the past. Beta testers reported that they were able to be productive users of Lytec 2010 in just two to three

days, vs. more than one month with previous versions of Lytec.

Performance Enhancements - Lytec 2010 is Fast!

Improvements to system logic and processes in 52 areas of the application to decrease the time the application takes to complete key tasks. The entire application is up to 40% faster, which enables office staff to complete more tasks faster. Users will experience the faster application when performing tasks such as:
● searching lists
● using the Appointment Scheduler
● generating claims and statements
● launching the application
● logging into a practice
● loading practice data

One side-by-side comparison of the Appointment Scheduler found that if a practice were to schedule 60 appointments per day, the person scheduling the appointments could save 1.5 hours per week. That time could be devoted to other patient care-related and revenue-generating tasks such as appointment reminders or reaching out to patients for health maintenance.

 

Revenue Management: New Electronic Claims, Eligibility Verification and ERA Processing

Claim submission:  Claims are run against a set of pre-claim edits to check medical policies, CCI edits, CPT and Dx codes, and user rules before the claims are submitted to the payor. Warning flags indicate if there are issues with a claim so that the claim can be corrected before submitting for payment. Fixing claims on the front end reduces the time it takes to pay the claim and can help a practice generate additional revenue by eliminating rejected claims that often aren’t researched and resubmitted for payment.
 
Flexible claims processing includes the ability to process professional/1500 claims and institutional/UB claims with intelligent processing for accurate transactions.

Comprehensive claim history including claim edits and any reports posted to the claims is easily available with one-click access.

Eligibility verification:  Integrated eligibility with complete and accurate eligibility reports enables a practice to verify a patient’s eligibility for services.

 New eligibility data entry and processing logic in Lytec 2010 allows practices to define when the system checks for updates to payor IDs.

Electronic remittance advice (ERA) posting: The ERA functionality in Lytec has been significantly upgraded with Revenue Management. Previously Lytec required that an entire 835 remittance file be posted all at once. If there were errors, the biller had to go back into the system, find the errors and fix them one at a time. It was a tedious process. Now with Lytec 2010, remittance details are displayed in an intuitive window that allows the biller to review the payment information before posting, make changes if necessary, and post (or not post) each individual payment and adjustment.

After posting is complete, a report is generated to show exactly what was entered into the system. The new ERA posting process greatly improves the productivity of a practice’s billing staff.
