ATLANTA, Dec.18, 2012
/PRNewswire/ -- Craneware, Inc., the market leader in
automated revenue integrity solutions, today announced that two of
its solutions rank first in two separate revenue cycle categories
in the annual "2012 Best in KLAS Awards: Software & Services"
report. Craneware's flagship product, Chargemaster
Toolkit®, was ranked as the number one software in the
"Revenue Cycle – Chargemaster Management" market category for the
seventh consecutive year, and Craneware's Bill Analyzer solution
ranked first in the "Revenue Cycle – Other" category for the second
year in a row.
KLAS, the leading source of healthcare information technology
vendor performance metrics, determines its rankings based on the
overall customer satisfaction score for a vendor's products. KLAS
rankings also are based on direct, detailed feedback from
healthcare providers across North
America.
During KLAS' evaluation of Craneware, one client commented,
"Most of the time, people don't even know their chargemaster is
dirty, but looking into a [chargemaster management] system is worth
the time. In our first year using Chargemaster Toolkit, we easily
made over $1 million." This comment
was collected by KLAS from a Director about Craneware Chargemaster
Toolkit in November 2012.*
A second client remarked, "Craneware Bill Analyzer reviews our
claims and identifies areas where we could be billing differently
to maximize revenue. In the first year, we found $700,000 in net revenue that we had been giving
up." A third client commented, "Bill Analyzer does the work that we
would usually have to hire an outside auditor to do."
These comments were collected by KLAS from two Directors about
Craneware Bill Analyzer in September
2012.*
"I love Craneware's support," remarked a fourth client. "When we
call, a human being picks up the phone. If we email the support, we
get an answer within 24 hours. Craneware is helpful in a variety of
areas, not just with whatever topic we happen to be calling about."

"We are honored to once again receive this prominent recognition
from KLAS for our Chargemaster Toolkit and Bill Analyzer software
products. Above all, we value this acknowledgement as it is a
direct result of our clients' experiences and successes using our
revenue integrity solutions," said Keith
Neilson, CEO of Craneware.
