“Craneware provides outstanding tools. As someone whose job it is to ensure that we are accurate, I think this system is fantastic. Bill Analyzer has really helped us to ensure that we are not letting dollars slip through the cracks. For an industry with razor-sharp margins, every penny counts. The analysis tools in Bill Analyzer are extremely accurate. The system does things that we can’t.” This comment was collected by KLAS from a Director about Craneware’s Bill Analyzer in August 2014*.
“Chargemaster Toolkit is outstanding. Craneware continues to come up with better technology that allows better ease of use and efficiency. Craneware has allowed us a lot of flexibility, and the products work with one another like cogs in a well-oiled machine.” This comment was collected by KLAS from a Director about Craneware’s Chargemaster Toolkit in August 2014*.
“This is a significant accomplishment to be recognized by KLAS nine years in a row and we believe the honor demonstrates our continued investment in product development,” said Keith Neilson, Craneware CEO. “Craneware is committed to providing the highest level of client service and it’s always gratifying to hear the opinions and experiences of healthcare providers who are using our solutions to achieve revenue integrity.”
This recognition by KLAS is the most recent in a long list of accolades for Craneware’s Chargemaster Toolkit software, which is used by one quarter of all registered U.S. hospitals. The industry’s original chargemaster management solution, Chargemaster Toolkit helps provider organizations capture legitimate reimbursement by automating chargemaster management processes, bringing together expertise from clinical departments, the revenue cycle and relevant industry reference information.
