Gateway EDI and American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons

Don't Let Rejected Claims Cut Your Practice to the Bone.

When asked, physicians and practice executives cite financial performance as one of the top three concerns for their medical group. The ability to cover practice expenses is strained by pressures on reimbursement and ever-expanding costs of resources to collect the practice’s revenues. To help AAOS members control costs, submit clean claims faster and get paid faster, the American Association of Orthopaedic Surgeons contracted with Gateway EDI to provide clearinghouse services to AAOS members at discounted rates. With Gateway EDI, AAOS members will enjoy a low monthly flat fee, guaranteed reduced rejection rate, unlimited customer service by a dedicated AAOS member support representative and faster payments.

Dr. Blaine Farless - Cleburne Orthopedics and Sports Medicine in Cleburne, Texas

“Gateway EDI’s online revenue management tools help the business side of our office run smoothly. The day after claims are submitted, we receive notification of any potential errors. We can easily look at the status of our claims and any remittances that have been received. My office staff also can instantly verify patient eligibility online to avoid long calls to insurance companies. As a result, we’ve had less claim rejections and quicker payments. In fact, since switching to their tools, our payment cycle went from an average of 30 to 60 days down to two weeks. Overall, Gateway EDI’s tools give me peace of mind, which enables me to focus on serving my patients.”
