Since 1983, MDS has provided billing and collection services to healthcare providers ranging from hospital emergency departments to urgent care centers. Working out of its office in Rancho Cucamonga, CA, MDS bills more than 60,000 patient accounts monthly.

He will also share how Quick Fields™ is used to index and reconcile both electronic and paper records, and how Workflow™ automates the distribution of documents enterprise-wide. This session will also cover MDS’ future goals and the part Laserfiche plays in achieving them.
