Access a library of lessons, instantly, where and when you need them! Why Track Outcomes? Rehabilitation Outcomes Measure (ROM) helps therapists evaluate a patient s therapy regimen. The need for such a system is critical when exceeding the Medicare B therapy codes, which require providers to demonstrate the value of a treatment in terms of improved functional outcomes and cost-effectiveness. The Rehabilitation Outcomes Measure (ROM) is a comprehensive multidisciplinary outcomes system exclusive to Cypress, and is an industry standard for tracking outcomes. Outcomes data can be used to perform trends analysis, which aids new program development, program enhancement, and service-delivery improvements. The Cypress ROM considers the unique characteristics of each rehab patient and provides discipline-specific data for physical therapy, occupational therapy and speech language pathology. ROM complements existing discipline-free scales, presenting both intra- and inter-disciplinary views of patient progress. Outcomes information helps therapists, managers, physicians and payers improve patientcare decisions. enable your team Are you reaching your competitive potential?

6 Cypress Therapy Management Crack the Code! CPT check Does your therapy department ever get confused about mutually exclusive CPT codes or the proper use of a billing modifier? The Cypress procedure code check monitors the need for code modifiers and alerts therapists when they record mutually exclusive procedures in the same visit. Cypress also adds the kx modifiers to billing documents as needed. Many therapists have little experience using CPT code modifiers. With the automatic CPT Check, Cypress eliminates the risk of compliance issues. CPT code reimbursement How do you track different CPT code fee schedules and Medicare Part B charges? Cypress quickly sets up and updates different CPT rates for any payer. Once rates are established, Cypress tracks dollars spent for each procedure. Procedure code selector How quickly can therapists select the CPT codes appropriate to their disciplines? Using the CPT Selector, therapists select codes for their disciplines in a fraction of the time it would take to look them up in a procedure manual. They search by category, number, description or simply use the auto-populated start up codes. Once selected, these codes display on therapy service logs, billing documents, and on a daily to-do list. Eliminate Transcription Errors Does your team manually record direct minutes and procedural code units? Is this information entered again in a central office to generate a billing record? Therapists quickly enter minutes and procedural code units directly into Cypress, making records and up-to-the-minute reports available throughout your organization. Manual calculations of weekly or monthly totals are a thing of the past. Double entry of these calculations at your central office is a distant memory. RUG Reimbursement How do you keep track of different RUG rates for different payers? How do you know if you will recoup the cost of the treatment provided? Cypress helps you to quickly set up different RUG rates and easily update them as often as rates change. Compare planned treatment versus reimbursement to dramatically improve your financial success. Medicare Part A Days How does your team track the number of days left for each patient stay? Have they ever discharged a patient too early because they thought the patient had run out of days? Cypress gives you easy access to this vital piece of information from the day a patient is admitted to the facility. Actual Totals Do you have instant access to the number of minutes provided in total or by discipline? Do you want to know at a glance whether your team is complying with the group percentage guidelines? Do you know the best possible days to use for the assessment period to maximize reimbursement? Cypress makes this information immediately available to the rehabilitation team.
