very happy with this program - I am not the daily user of it, but our coder and biller likes it.
Pros
is an accurate program that integrates with our very difficult operating system, allowing easy claims processing, monitoring and corrections or resubmissions as needed
Cons
Overall we are very pleased with Waystar - it is cost effective and works well with our billing program Allscripts, the only negative per say is that not all payors are included so a second system for insurance verification is needed at times or for claims submissions.

Horrible Customer Service

Pros
The product is easy to use as long as nothing goes wrong.
Cons
They seem to have system issues every other day and they are in no rush to help you. They really don't seem to care that there are timely filing restraints on hospices to submit claims.

Overall I do like Waystar and would be hesitant to leave. It is very intuitive and we have very little issues with claims.
Pros
Waystar is very easy to use. Its features are robust and we have very limited issues with Waystar. We have to give very little Waystar training to our new employees because it is so easy to use.
Cons
In general I feel things run fairly smoothly with Waystar but when they *don't* I feel it is hard to get help or clarification on issues. We are often advised to contact the payer or it takes a while to hear back on more complicated tickets.
Downtime of various applications has increased recently as well.

Overall, you are able to generate and send all billing with ease. I've ran revenue cycle departments using this product and find it meets all the needs to be efficient and accurate.
I've used Ability and Waystar is much easier to navigate.
Pros
Waystar is an easy to use software to manage your revenue cycle. It is simple to teach those that have had no experience using it. The RA's are easy to post in your system. It is easy to navigate.
Cons
They only keep information up to 2 years, so when you are audited or are researching old balances, you can't find the EOB's. There needs to be a feature that you can send claims to Waystar and make changes to the claim without it electronically going to a payor. (IV home health claims).
Customer service is lacking people who have actually used the product. So, when you call they don't understand the issue. They are slow.... in responding to tickets/issues.

Best Software for Medicare Billing for Home Health
Reviewed on 28/08/2022

Overall, Waystar is an excellent tool for Medicare and non Medicare Billing, user friendly and very dynamic. It helps billers stay organized and on top of timely filing issues.
Pros
what I like most about this software is their ability to manually entering claims daily. While other clearing houses take 48 to 72 hours to process claims, Waystar does so daily and within a few minutes. This feature assures the user that their claims will be billed in a time sensitive way. It is simple to use to run insurance verification, making the software useful not only to the billers, but also to other departments like Intake, and Authorizations. It has a lot of options to run Revenue Cycle reports, and it has improved our collections tremendously.
Cons
The only negative aspect that I see is that lately their customer support is lacking resources. A few months ago, we were able to get someone to help over the phone after a few minutes of hold, and lately, their call hold time exceeds 45 minutes to an hour sometimes. Their customer service through email option, even though is very efficient, it takes a couple of days to receive an answer back, and some issues need to be resolved faster than that.

Overall, I feel neutral about it, there are good and bad with all Software. This one could use a little tweaking but all in all it is fine.
Pros
I like the way that you can check you invoices to see when they were accepted by the payor and that it tells you the reason for the denial, whether it be, wrong ID, name/number, DOB, needs NDC, whatever and you are able to fix in the screen and resend the claim.
Cons
Having to go back and forth from this to the actual EMR, it would be nice if it was all in one, so you could fix the claim and it would show on the other side that you fixed it, instead of fixing and going into the other side to fix on that side.

Waystar/Zirmed
Reviewed on 31/12/2018
Pros
what I like most about waystar/zirmed is the ability to perform most of the functions I need with one program, I can verify most of the insurances we use including medicare and getting same/similar information from medicare. i love the rejected claims dashboard and how I can sort to be able to notice trends. they show the claim rejected by waystar/zirmed and claims rejected by the payer. patient payments are easy to use to make payments and have the ability to email a receipt immediately for a payment you took. but what I like most about the patient payments is the ability to set up an autopay this can be done with ca credit card or through a bank account. there are so many great functions with this I cannot possibly write them all down. a new function that was added when they switched from Zirmed to Waystar was the homepage. it allows you to set a homepage so now when log in it takes me the remit tab where I can see payments. we use waystar as our clearinghouse and submit and receive claims, remits electronically and can autopost payments from waystar to our billing software which cuts down on time if we would have to manually post.
Cons
I would like to them to add a way to have an open-ended autopay. if we have a patient on oxgyen and it rents forever we still have to put in a total amount so at some point it will stop.

Pros
It is just easy to work with. I don't use all of the features but the ones I do use are very user friendly. The charge entry is very easy and so is looking up the remits for payments. When I post payments it is so much easier to look in waystar then other websites.
Cons
I don't really have a any problems with it other then lately if we reverse and rebill an account it won't let me rebill it again if it needs to be done again. I end up having to delete everything to zero and redo it all even adding the payments back it. It didn't used to be this way.

Before we got Waystar (Zirmed), we would either submit the claims on paper (which is hard to track) or through the payers provider portal. We would need to maintain a dozen or so username and password for various websites. You would need to sign up for a lot of websites.
With Waystar, all you need is one username and password. You can electronically submit claims to various payers with one click. Waystar will scrub the claim to see if there are any front end rejections. If the payer rejects the claim, you can correct it within Waystar without having to go back to the EMR and correct it. You can track your claims within Waystar. You can download an excel spreadsheet with the information you need.
Pros
You have the ability to correct claims that get rejected by the insurance company. Waystar will scrub your claims even before they sent it off you the insurance company. The layout is very user-friendly and straight forward. If the Payer allows it, remittance advice can be downloaded and uploaded to the EHR software. Claims can be copied if you have to enter them manually. YOu don't need to reenter the whole patient information over and over again.
Cons
You'll need to call in order to add a child account. The claims status should be updated if the claim has been paid. Right now, the last status you'll get us if the claim is recieved by the Payer.

Too Many Hidden Fees

I canceled my contract with them, and they would not allow me to cancel and I had to ride it out until the end and pay all their hidden fees. This is ridiculous and a mistake signing up with them. Our payment processing with them got very expensive because they did not have a chip reader for the credit card transactions. They have a magnetic stripe credit card swipe that you can buy for $99 that doesn't work 90% of the time, so we ended having to manually key in each transaction which causes the processing fees to be much higher and on top of that we had to pay them a monthly fee to use their product. I ended up switching to a different credit card processing company that gave a rate that is 15% less than their processing rate, they don't charge a monthly fee, they don't have a contract, and they don't have any hidden fees. So having to ride out this contract and using the new company to process my credit card transactions will save me more money than if I use them until the end of my contract. Lesson learned.
Pros
The payments for the patients were listed and you can access it anytime to verify payments.
Cons
All the hidden fees and it got expensive with them not having a chip reader for the credit card transactions. They have a magnetic stripe credit card swipe that you can buy for $99 that doesn't work 90% of the time, so we ended having to manually key in each transaction which causes the processing fees to be much higher and on top of that we had to pay them a monthly fee to use their product.

We started with Zirmed and transitioned to Waystar. It was flawless. It's easy to use. The value is excellent. They have a huge list of insurances OR you can have them send a paper claim. We were working with an older (outdated, frankly) practice management software and Waystar worked with us so we could still upload claims. Editing rejected claims is very easy. There are also Premium products you can buy if you would like to streamline your RCM such as code look up and insurance verification.
Pros
It is very user friendly. Their customer service has always been very responsive.
Cons
Medicare Secondary billing is clumsy. (Not a Con but) there are several features we don't need/use. They clutter up the dashboard.

Day to day insurance validity checks and billing that has a set price per bill instead per page. National address database check before sending bills to the wrong clinic
Pros
Able to run my clinic day to day knowing that patients have valid insurance and possible deductible amount. Allows us to give best patient care without unknowing giving the patient a big bill that will be from care rendered and deductible amount. Zirmed increases my clinic's ability to inform patient of deductible amounts prior so that patient understands amount they may be billed and the reason for the bill. From this, it gives patients the autonomy in their care. Zirmed also has a billing service that allows for import from billing software with set prices per bill (not page) and it checks a national database with address to make sure the bill is going to the correct patient.
Cons
The may con I have had with this is that our clinic representative left the company and we were not informed and the phone number wasn't reassigned or disconnected, which left me waiting for a return call that never came. After calling customer service, I was then reassigned

efficient claims processing, denials management, great reports with comparrisons to others in the same industry.
Pros
Their customer service lives up to the 3 ring rule. Customer service are very pleasant and helpful on the phone. If your question is beyond that department they listen to all of your questions or concerns and directly transfer you to the right person/department to help with your needs. I am been very happy with their live training. The videos for additional tools and training are very specific you are able to accomplish what you need to learn. I have found the sales team to be very accommodating when renewing products. I have found their fees for the credit card /Payleap to be the best prices out there.
Cons
Not able to interface payments directly in to our EMR software. I know they have plans to eventually make this happen. I am hoping it will be soon.

Expense! Although I do experience the value of your product and services as positive. I really think Symphony should be the standard application for users. There is so much more to help a biller get their work done and information available at their finder tips!
Pros
I especially like Perform Reporting for the fee schedules and payments. The graphs and drill down gives us many options to choose from. Claims appeal process is swift and the pre-written appeal letters really help a lot. It is a time saver to correct the claims in Navicure. I only have to change my claim status in ECW. Now that we are on Symphony I have more choices to look over and use. We are able to look at the ERA denials as well which has been very helpful. More information and drill downs.

We were a fairly small practice when we started with Navicure (8 physicians) and grew to almost 30 providers. Navicure worked great even as we grew.
Pros
The messaging system you can use for issues/questions is usually responded to pretty quickly, reps are nice via telephone also. Easy system, user friendly. Didn't require much training. it gives you the option to correct claims directly in Navicure, or cancel and resend from your billing system. Printable reports when needed, easy sorting.
Cons
There aren't really any I recall, but it would have been very nice to have two way communication (meaning the changes made in Navicure would be sent back to the billing system). For this reason we chose to cancel the claims and correct them in the billing system to avoid the possibility of forgetting to update in the billing system after it was done in Navicure.
