Virtual Examiner vs. PatientStudio

The Virtual Examiner®, developed by PCG Software, serves as a comprehensive tool for overseeing an organization’s internal claims process, efficiently tracking provider data to identify fraudulent or abusive billing practices while enhancing financial recovery. This advanced software enables healthcare organizations to optimize their claims adjudication systems, processing over 31 million edits per claim, which significantly streamlines operations. By meticulously monitoring the internal claims processes, it effectively pinpoints and mitigates payments made for incorrect or erroneous codes, ultimately preserving premium dollars. Beyond mere claims management, the Virtual Examiner® acts as a robust cost containment solution that analyzes claims for not only abusive billing patterns but also those that may require attention to third-party liability coordination, case management opportunities, physician billing education, and various other valuable cost recovery insights. Its multifaceted approach provides healthcare organizations with the tools they need to navigate complex billing landscapes and improve overall financial health.
