Software attempts to take the devil out of reimbursement details

In the past, a doctor would have to dictate his notes, get them transcribed, enter the proper Medicare reimbursement codes for each procedure in the operation, and fill out mounds of paperwork in order to get reimbursed by an insurer. ProVation software, made by Minneapolis-based Wolters Kluwer Health's Clinical Solutions unit, allows hospitals to bill an insurer even before the patient leaves his room.
