The AHCS Solution
Automated HealthCare Solutions ("AHCS") is a leading provider of technology-enabled dispensing
solutions for physicians serving workers’ compensation patients and patients covered by personal
injury protection insurance. AHCS has developed a powerful, next generation claims management
technology platform, called ezDispense™ for point of care medication
dispensing. The platform enables the Company to remove many of the traditional barriers
associated with physician dispensing, while virtually eliminating reimbursement risk and
ensuring patients receive their medication. Unlike other physician billing services, AHCS
is able to assume the collection risk on claims and guarantee reimbursement to its physicians.
This enables physicians to do what they were trained to do... practice medicine!
AHCS also offers several other programs.
- Mail order program for physicians for certain medications.
- Point-of-care drug testing procedure for the qualitative portion of the test. This allows for immediate binary results, while still allowing for additional qualitative lab tests.
- Custom-compounded topical solutions: for patients whose pain cannot be controlled with oral therapy alone, we offer a line of custom compounded topicals to help further manage your patients’ pain.
At AHCS, we center our programs around the philosophy of our Triad of Success:
Convenience, Compliance, and Outcomes.
|
Convenience
AHCS’ programs ensure that your patients receive their medications and test results while in your office. Our programs are user friendly and can be performed with your existing staff in less than 60 seconds per patient. The flexibility of our software allows us to work with practices of all sizes. Whether you are a large health care system with multiple locations or a solo practitioner, we can customize our technology to fit your needs.

Compliance
Our ezDispense™ medication dispensing software, powered by AHCS, ensures our physician partners are in compliance with all state and federal regulations as well as prescription drug monitoring programs. ezDispense™ electronically tracks all pedigree papers, lot numbers, expiration dates and controlled substances with line item reconciliation. Our software also identifies the location, physician, dispenser, cost, profit and date of all medications dispensed.

Outcomes
National studies from the insurance
industry (NCCI) have proven that physicians who dispense medication prescribe a much
higher percentage of generic medication. High generic fill rates, improved outcomes
and subsequent decreased need for litigation are three major reasons why physician
dispensing benefits everyone (patients, employers and carriers) and reduces the overall
costs of workers comp claims.

A Quote by Dr. Zimmerman
"As a practicing physician, I share with other
physicians the frustration of patients having limited access to care. In response, we started AHCS
and developed a proprietary IT platform to administer innovative programs providing "point-of-care"
services that improve patient outcomes and enhance your practice."
Paul Zimmerman, MD
CEO of AHCS and Orthopedic Surgeon
