STM publisher Elsevier, Netherlands, has announced that it is pairing its educational content with ClaimGear, CollaborateMD's online solution for medical billing and coding education.
CollaborateMD, a provider of online medical practice management and medical billing solutions, has been providing ClaimGear to the academic arena since 2007. More than 35,000 students have been trained on ClaimGear to date. CollaborateMD has been working with institutions with the goal of providing students with real-life training on medical billing and practice management software in order to allow them to successfully transition to the workforce.
The ClaimGear product is a version of CollaborateMD's commercial product and includes a powerful Instructor and Student Portal. ClaimGear allows students to perform real-world work such as adding patients, claims, payments, appointments, and run reports. The Instructor Portal allows instructors to completely manage students, courses, assignments and score students work. The Student Portal allows the student to manage and score their coursework in real-time.
Since ClaimGear is online, neither students nor institutions need to manage the product or perform backups. Additionally, students and instructors have the freedom to access the product from the campus, home, or anywhere they have an Internet connection.
