Select Data provides outsourced services, including automated charge data collection, coding and transcription, and billing and collections. A software product, DataScan, supporting Optical Mark Recognition (OMR) data collection is provided to customers of the company’s outsourcing services.

In 2003, Select Data purchased clinical and financial software code and began to customize it for its outsourcing service purposes. Its staff of service clinicians and technicians no longer use a 3rd-party application as they had done previously. Home care agencies and hospices use OMR forms and the company’s DataScan application to gather and error-check field data relating to activities, charges, costs, medical supplies, time studies and outcomes and submit it to Select Data via the Internet. Coders receive and process data sent from customers, offer coding input and review prioritization and return OASIS coding to the customer. Clinical staff also review care plans and return draft 485s to customers. Select Data technical staff track OASIS lockdown dates and accuracy, handle billing and A/R functions and provide monthly reports.

DataScan was developed in Microsoft .NET and uses any up-to-date desktop PC running recent versions of Windows. Customers access their own data on secure servers using Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 or above across a VPN or Frame Relay connection. No 3rd-party software must be licensed to use Select Data outsource services. Pre-defined reports are included; custom reports can be generated by the customer using a provided report writer.

Customers compensate Select Data via a negotiated per-visit fee over a contracted time span. Fees are adjusted for volume and contract length. The DataScan application is typically included in the contract fees.

Training is typically performed on the customer site during implementation and is supplemented by regularly-held conference calls and online services such as Webex. Support is conducted via a toll-free telephone line between 5:00 AM and 5:00 PM Pacific time. After-hours support is available via a 24/7 pager system.
