Case Study: Salina Ortho achieves $100K savings and faster documentation with Modernizing Medicine's Healthcare IT Suite

Saving Time and Money by Switching to ModMed Orthopedics

Salina Ortho, the largest orthopedic practice in North Central Kansas with six satellite locations, six surgeons and four mid-level providers, struggled with multiple EHRs, an antiquated billing system, paper-based therapy notes and costly transcription workflows. Leadership wanted a single, orthopedics-specific platform that would streamline billing, reduce administrative overhead and avoid slowing high-volume clinicians.

They switched to ModMed Orthopedics (EMA, Practice Management, ModMed Pay and Klara), consolidating clinical and billing tools onto one platform and moving physical therapy and documentation fully electronic. Within weeks clinicians returned to full patient volume and completed notes during office hours; the practice eliminated paper, cut transcription costs by $100,000, reduced no-shows with automated reminders, improved patient engagement with in-room iPads and portal access, and accelerated payments and AR through integrated pay and messaging.
