So far so good. I have not experienced a con yet. > > Having the EDI reader has truly helped me do my job better. Task that typically take me hours are minutes now because clear information given by the EDI reader. ----- ### "Essential Tool" — 5.0/5 > **Barb** | *18 December 2018* | Mental Health Care | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: This product is easy to use. When we were sending/receiving 837/835 files directly with the insurance sites we were very dependent on the Power Reader for viewing our files. The ability to sort files and only print the columns we need is a great paper saver. We have since started using a clearinghouse that offers some of the features of the reader however, we still don't feel like we can give it up. The ability to view file information including the loops and segments is essential when trouble shooting errors. > > **Cons**: One thing our clearinghouse offers that this software does not is the ability to convert the 837 file info to a viewable HCFA 1500 image. This is helpful when calling an insurance company's claims department since their reps are often looking at the claim via a billing form template. This way we can both talk "boxes" instead of loops and segments. > > Anytime I have needed help with the Power Reader, the staff at EMS has been quick to respond, friendly and helpful. What I love most is that they are easy to talk to. Very often when working with computer experts they forget that they are talking to people who don't share there technical knowledge. These guys are very good at taking that in to consideration. ----- ### "EMS/EDI Power Reader" — 3.0/5 > **Beth** | *2 August 2019* | Mental Health Care | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: I liked that it could give us information in a human readable format and provide eligibility info. > > **Cons**: It was difficult to understand how to use and the requirements to get it to work to meet our needs. > > We purchased it based on what we saw it could do for us, but when it came time to staff utilizing the software, they did not find it easy to use or understand how to make it work to meet our needs so we did not get the benefit out of it that we were hoping for. ----- ### "Provider staff" — 5.0/5 > **Eugene** | *29 March 2019* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: We enjoy the reader across the revenue offices primarily for its ease of use and functional simplicity in managing the multiple HIPAA transactions. For the users it is efficient and easy to utilize. In addition, from my perspective it is easy to upgrade and install. > > **Cons**: My main 'wish list item' is to enhance the ability to setup/ configure the column/ fields for a transaction by enabling a selection feature that would permit me to not only select a field to display but at that time to be able to number the selected fields that would have the effect of sorting the columns in the display of data based on the selection criteria. > > The bottom line for our users is that the reader gives them a quick and efficient method to display transactions, primarily remits (835s) in detail. For m the best effect is that users readily rely on it. ----- ### "EDI Power Reader" — 4.0/5 > **Christopher** | *4 December 2018* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I really like this software's format compared to others that I have used. Its easy to read and not cluttered. > > **Cons**: A downfall to this software is that it cannot display more then one denial reason per line on the actual EOB. You have to go into the details report to see the rest of the denial data and some insurance companies have issues with the EOB's we send them stating they are missing required data because of this. > > I have had issues with this software randomly for the past year displaying the remits with shrunken Text and Enlarged text. Customer service was unable to assist me and left me hanging for months never responding to my email in a timely manner. They eventually said that the issue are due to a third party component in Windows and they were unable to do anything further and stopped responding to me which is not good business. When the program works it works great and when it doesn't it's very frustrating. ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/107841/edi-power-reader?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/107841/edi-power-reader) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
