How To Easily Maximize the Potential of Your Allergy Program

Quick Tweaks to Substantially Raise Your Revenue While Improving Patient Outcomes

Ensure the Patient Symptom Survey Is In Your Patient Intake Process with Other Medical History

By taking the simple step of placing the MRS Allergy Patient Symptom Survey in your ordinary patient intake and medical history process you will greatly increase the number of suitable patients for allergy testing that you detect. More testing means more revenue for the clinic as well as a greater number of patients who have the chance to improve their quality of life through immunotherapy. If your intake process is digital, we’ll work with you to digitize the survey, such as by providing you an FDF-export capable fillable PDF version. Virtually all EMR platforms allow for ingestion and digitization of forms and work flows.

Use Symptom Surveys to Track and Verify Progress

Have patients complete the survey multiple times during their allergy treatment. This easy best practice helps detect and demonstrate symptom abatement so patients can see it even if its subtle, which in turn boosts compliance, and thus helps ensure they complete the entire treatment regimen.

Seamless Digital Integration

Platforms like Weave, Phreesia, and RevenueWell can easily integrate surveys into your digital workflow. These platforms can ingest and digitize new forms, making it easy to place them into the workflow. Need assistance? We’re here to help, starting with providing FDF-export capable fillable PDF forms to expedite the form ingestion process in many platforms.

Don't Ask If Patients "Want" Allergy Testing: Tell Them They Need It

When patients’ symptom surveys indicate they’re allergic, inform them that allergy testing is needed to determine whether immunotherapy can improve their quality of life. Just as you would for necessary diagnostics like X-rays or blood pressure tests, be clear and confident in telling them what’s necessary to diagnose their symptoms.

When patients test positive, inform them of the available options–sublingual drops for home use or subcutaneous shots at the clinic–and confidently recommend they choose one and get started, understanding insurance coverage, payment options, and ensuring informed consent of course.

Highlight That Treatments Leads to Net Cost Savings for Patients

To easily improve more patients’ quality of life by encouraging more of them to embark on immunotherapy, inform your patients that allergy treatment can significantly reduce their overall healthcare costs. Multiple landmark studies, like the one mentioned in our June newsletter, have shown substantial savings of more than 40% . If you’d like branded reprints of that study for your clinic, let us know.

Enhance Compliance Through Co-Communication

Work with us to build reminder and engagement programs to increase patient compliance and improve outcomes. Many digital platforms have built-in SMS and email programs. We’ll help resolve any privacy and consent issues to get these programs up and running.
