Case Study: North Florida Dermatology achieves faster cash flow — 13.5‑day payments and 2% denial rate — with Modernizing Medicine's Healthcare IT Suite (modmed Dermatology)

Dr. Kelly Tepedino Streamlines Practice Workflow and Improves Financial Outcomes with modmed Dermatology’s Suite of Solutions

Dr. Kelly Tepedino, founder of North Florida Dermatology in Lake City, Fla., needed a dermatology-specific technology stack that would grow with her practice and free her to focus on patient care. She wanted to avoid juggling multiple systems and vendors while improving workflow, coding accuracy and revenue oversight.

She implemented the modmed Dermatology suite—EMA EHR, Practice Management and Revenue Cycle Management—providing a cloud-based, integrated front- and back-office solution with mobile access. The result: faster check-ins (under two minutes), automated coding and eligibility, average payment turnaround of 13.5 days, a 2% denial rate, clearer financial analytics and stronger cash flow.
