Case Study: Peter A. Matsuura, MD achieves reduced payment times and improved work‑life balance with Modernizing Medicine's Healthcare IT Suite

Reduces Payment Times and Improves Work-Life Balance by Switching to ModMed Orthopedics

ModMed Orthopedics partnered with Dr. Peter A. Matsuura’s Hilo, Hawaii practice, which was struggling with a clunky EHR that made it hard to keep up with changing mandates, slowed workflows, and forced the physician to work through lunches and stay after hours to finish documentation and billing.

By implementing ModMed’s EMA EHR along with Nuance dictation, the integrated Practice Management platform, Analytics, and Kiosk, the practice streamlined workflows, increased face time with patients, and saved 1–2 hours per day of documentation time. Claims are now submitted same day, payment turnaround dropped from about two weeks to roughly seven days, operating staff was reduced, and patient satisfaction and business insights improved.
