add-on fees.

Althea Smart EHR

Clinical Documentation
Built for Cardiology’s Diagnostic Depth

Althea Smart EHR is purpose-built for the clinical complexity and diagnostic precision of cardiovascular medicine: structured cardiac consult workflows, longitudinal cardiovascular risk monitoring, and chronic disease management for CHF, CAD, arrhythmias, and hypertension. Every workflow is designed around how cardiologists actually practice.

Frequently Asked Questions

Althea Smart EHR for Cardiology

Everything a cardiologist needs to know before making the switch to Althea
Smart EHR.

Cardiac Procedure Documentation
How does Althea Smart EHR handle cardiovascular procedure documentation?

Althea Smart EHR includes purpose-built procedure note templates for cardiac catheterization, stress testing, device implants, cardioversion, and Holter monitoring. AI Ambient Charting listens during the procedure and generates structured notes in real time, with hemodynamic data, imaging findings, and post-procedure instructions built into the template.

HCC & RAF Optimization
How does Althea Smart EHR support HCC coding and RAF score optimization for cardiology?

Althea Smart EHR includes built-in HCC Gap Detection and RAF Score Optimization that surfaces underdocumented cardiovascular conditions (CHF, CAD, cardiomyopathy, arrhythmias) at the point of care, visit by visit. For Medicare Advantage panels, cardiologists carry the highest chronic disease burden per patient, and Althea ensures every condition is captured and documented for maximum reimbursement.

RPM Billing
How does Althea Smart EHR handle remote patient monitoring (RPM) for cardiology?

Althea Smart EHR includes structured RPM workflows for cardiology with RPM billing automation that captures CPT 99453, 99454, 99457, and 99458 with time tracking and clinical summary documentation at each monthly billing cycle.

Cardiovascular Procedure Billing
How does Althea Smart EHR capture cardiac procedure CPT codes and component billing?

Althea Smart EHR’s AI Billing Assistant automatically suggests the correct cardiovascular CPT codes from documented procedures: stress testing (93015–93018); cardiac catheterization (93510); cardioversion (92960); Holter monitoring (93224–93227); pacemaker/ICD management (33206–33249). Professional vs. technical component modifiers (26/TC) are applied automatically based on the care setting.

AI Charting
How does AI ambient charting work for cardiology documentation?

Althea Smart EHR’s AI Ambient Charting listens during cardiac consultations, follow-up visits, and procedure encounters and generates structured documentation in real time: cardiac history and exam notes, procedure summaries, and SOAP follow-ups. Most documentation is complete before the patient leaves the room or the cath lab.

EHR Switching
What is involved in switching to a new EHR system?

MD Synergy eliminates all three disruption sources: free data migration before go-live, 2-hour training required for Althea Smart EHR for the provider, and 100% patient go-live on Day 1.

Chronic Disease Management
How does Althea Smart EHR handle documentation for complex chronic cardiovascular disease patients?

Althea Smart EHR is purpose-built for multi-condition cardiovascular patients with dedicated cardiac flowsheets for heart failure (EF trend, fluid status, diuretic dosing), CAD (cath results, stent history), atrial fibrillation (anticoagulation, CHADS2-VASc scoring), and hypertension management. Patients carrying CHF + CAD + AF simultaneously are managed with cross-condition care gap alerts and coordinated care plans in a single encounter.

CCM Billing
How does Althea Smart EHR support Chronic Care Management (CCM) billing for cardiology?

Althea Smart EHR includes structured CCM workflows with built-in time tracking, cardiovascular care plan documentation, and billing automation for CPT 99490 and 99491. Cardiology practices managing complex multi-chronic cardiovascular patients are primary beneficiaries of CCM revenue, and Althea ensures every qualifying month is captured and billed without adding staff burden.

TCM Workflows
How does Althea Smart EHR automate Transitional Care Management (TCM) after cardiac hospitalization?

Althea Smart EHR triggers TCM workflows automatically when a qualifying patient is discharged from a cardiac hospitalization, prompting the required 2-day contact, scheduling the follow-up visit, and auto-applying CPT 99495 (14-day) or 99496 (7-day) at the qualifying encounter. No manual code entry, no missed captures.

E&M Coding
How does Althea Smart EHR help cardiologists capture the correct E&M level?

Cardiology visits frequently qualify for Level 4 (99214) and Level 5 (99215) E&M codes, and consult visits for 99244 or 99245, based on medical decision-making complexity. Althea Smart EHR’s AI Billing Assistant confirms the correct complexity level at every visit, ensuring complex cardiac visits with multi-condition management are documented and billed at the appropriate level.

MIPS & Quality
How does Althea Smart EHR support MIPS and quality reporting for cardiology?

Althea Smart EHR includes a built-in MIPS Dashboard with cardiology HEDIS measures — statin therapy for CAD, anticoagulation for AF, heart failure care, blood pressure control — a panel-wide Quality Dashboard, and QRDA reporting for compliant CMS quality measure submissions, directly impacting reimbursement in value-based contracts.

Choosing an EHR
What should cardiologists look for when choosing an EHR?

Six criteria that matter for cardiology: (1) AI ambient charting for cardiac consult notes and procedure reports, (2) HCC gap detection for cardiovascular chronic conditions, (3) Cardiovascular procedure CPT auto-capture including component billing, (4) RPM billing automation for chronic disease monitoring, (5) Truly mobile-first on iPhone and iPad for rounds and on-call, (6) No setup fees and flexible contract terms. Althea Smart EHR meets all six, rated 5.0 ★ on Capterra.

Physician Burnout
How can an EHR help reduce physician burnout in cardiology?

Cardiologists spend more time on documentation per patient than almost any other specialist: complex consult notes, multi-condition chronic disease follow-ups, and procedure reports. Practices using Althea Smart EHR reported cutting their charting time in half, with most notes completed before the patient leaves the room, giving cardiologists back hours every day.
