Is Your Data Safe?

Does Your Office Keep Track of the
Employee Contacts for Your Software? 

Many times we receive calls and emails requesting information regarding your organization from persons that are not authorized. Without a current contact list, no assistance can be provided so there will be a delay in solving your problem.

Prime Clinical Systems' policy is to protect your information. In order to maintain the safety of your data/information, you must always have a current contact list of users authorized to contact Prime Clinical on your organizations behalf. As your contacts change, please be sure to notify PCS Administration Department by submitting a letter, on your letterhead, signed by the 'owner', with the persons in your office that are authorized to contact PCS on your behalf.

All contact lists should either be emailed administration@primeclinical.com or faxed 626-449-5615. Include your Client Id, and the Subject Contact List.

Without this information, you will not be able to send any information to CAIR for your Immunization Registry reporting.

ICD-10 Documentation and Coding Concepts Webcasts

• Documentation changes and new concepts

• Use of "unspecified" codes in ICD-10

Currently, CMS has recorded webinars available for orthopedics, cardiology, pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology, and family practice and internal medicine.
