Created to Manage Your Hospital and Professional CDMs

Are you managing both the physician and hospital chargemasters? Trisus Chargemaster is designed to manage both Hospital and Professional CDMs in a single application.

Your team can focus on hospital changes, ensuring all billable services, supplies, and medications are coded and priced correctly to enhance revenue and reduce compliance risks.

When you add the Trisus Chargemaster Professional solution, you will get reference data specific to professional claims, which will also help your team enhance revenue and reduce compliance risks. Trisus Chargemaster Professional performs tailored analysis of your physician CDM including charge rates, CPT®/HCPCS codes, RVUs, fee schedules, and much more.

Data Visibility Configured for Your Organization

As more hospitals move to an enterprise data structure, revenue teams need a comprehensive view of charge data across the system. Trisus Chargemaster can be configured to fit your organization’s needs for data visibility.

Discovery View provides a single, clear, concise view of all CDM data for multiple facilities, payors, and services lines. This view gives your team the ability to view and filter by location/service line, volume, cost center, revenue and usage, and fee schedules across the enterprise.

Corporate View standardizes and maintains files across disparate billing systems for healthcare organizations that use multiple patient accounting systems (PAS). With a standard view you can ensure consistent, accurate pricing and coding for all chargemaster data.

The Most Current, Accurate, and Relevant Reference Data for Your Team

Trisus Chargemaster includes Trisus Reference, giving you access to a one-stop-shop for the most current, accurate, and relevant clinical, coding, financial, and regulatory data in the industry. Supported by our dedicated team of data experts, Trisus Reference strives to deliver reference data specific to your needs.

Trisus Reference integrates your specialty coding resources into one tool for a seamless research experience. Medical Necessity and ABN Checker functions, as well as our new OPPS calculator help your team save valuable time. CPT Assistant is a fully integrated component of Trisus Reference, providing instant, direct access to all prior references and CPT manual information when additional research is needed.

Integration with Your Patient Accounting and Electronic Health Record Systems

Chargemaster data residing in other systems can be at risk when data must be manually transferred back and forth from the patient financial system and the CDM.

Trisus can be configured to meet your specific needs for integration, ensuring quick, secure, and error-free transfer of CDM changes and edits to your financial system.

The Craneware Group has experience successfully integrating with more than 30 different patient accounting systems, including Epic, Cerner, and MEDITECH.
