Ok these folks are reading the Medical Quack no doubt as I have talked a lot about fraud, false positives, algorithms set up to detect fraud with false 
positives, Medicare contractors owned by insurance companies and so on….and they had to all the way to Croatia to get their algorithm. <grin>. This is humor all right, but underneath it all these guys get it. You may remember some of their earlier strategy plans.
Extormity EHR Urges ONC to Keep Stalling….
From the website:
“The Extormity EMR software suite requires wholesale, revolutionary workflow change that dramatically impacts practice patterns. Our slow and painful change process significantly interrupts patient volumes and revenues, and this cumbersome transformation can only be appreciated in hindsight and with the aid of prescription medication (which can be prescribed via the Extormity EMRX Upgrade Module and Pharmacy Interface Pack).”
They are also “Seedie” certified so they are right on top of “meaningless use” too. They just announced this new module to get their fair share since the getting seems to be so good out there today. BD
Electronic health record vendor Extormity announced the launch of its new Extormicare® Medicare Fraud Module at a press conference in Washington, D.C. today.
“As recent investigative reports have made clear, Medicare fraud and abuse is costing taxpayers billions of dollars annually,” said CEO Brantley Whittington. “We simply want our generous slice of this very tasty and expensive pie.”
“We conducted market research which reveals that most of the fictional care reported to Medicare for reimbursement was not documented in an EHR — making those perpetrating the fraud far less efficient than they could be,” added 
Whittington. “Armed with this insight, we developed an EHR module that automatically documents falsified encounters and generates the highest possible level of E&M coding. These codes give the impression of meeting medical necessity criteria, while helping Extormity achieve profit targets.”
“A review of court documents also indicated that most of those who are apprehended were flagged based on the repetitive nature of their claims submissions,” according to Extormity CIO Oliver Brindle. “We found an algorithm savant in Croatia who wrote some code that optimizes these fake encounters — moving deftly from a garden variety UTI to pancreatitis. We paid him in goat skins and brandy and expect to profit handsomely on our meager investment.”
