Case Study:

Beyond Paper & Dictation

The Allergy Practice That Scaled with ModuleMD

Executive Summary: The ROI of Specialization

Richmond Allergy & Asthma Specialists (RAAS), a trusted Central Virginia practice, was constrained by outdated paper-based and fragmented systems. Facing increased patient volumes and a complex regulatory environment, traditional workflows were unsustainable.

By partnering with ModuleMD that specializes in allergy and immunology, RAAS achieved a rapid, human-centered digital transformation. The result? A clear, quantitative Return on Investment (ROI) across clinical, financial, and operational metrics

Impact at a Glance

Metric Pre-ModuleMD Status Post-ModuleMD Result (August 2025) Impact
Relative Revenue Performance Traditional Workflow Doubled within 8 months Revenue Growth
Net Collection Rate (NCR) Below Benchmark 94% Accelerated Cash Flow
Clean Claim Rate (CCR) Inconsistent 98% Accuracy Reduced Denials/Resubmissions
Transcription Costs Significant Overhead 60% Reduction (from Josh AI Dictation) Operational Savings
Provider Documentation Friction High 80% Reduction Burnout Prevention

ModuleMD didn't just digitize RAAS; it created a scalable, high-performance foundation proven to significantly enhance both revenue and care delivery.

Richmond Allergy & Asthma Specialists (RAAS) is a 70-year-old practice serving Central Virginia , a legacy institution balancing tradition with modern innovation.

The Proof is in the Curve: Indexed Revenue Growth

The investment in a specialty-focused platform delivered immediate and powerful financial results. This chart is the single most compelling evidence of ModuleMD’s value proposition.

Quarterly Performance: A New Foundation for Growth

Quarterly Performance

To confirm that the revenue increase was sustainable and not just a short-term spike, we look at indexed quarterly performance. Setting Q1 revenue as the 100 baseline for each year shows the clinic's ability to scale.

  • Before ModuleMD (2024): Revenue trended downward after Q1, ending the 9-month period with Q3 revenue at 92.4% of Q1, showing a failure to sustain momentum.
  • With ModuleMD (2025): Revenue showed powerful, sustained growth, with Q3 revenue achieving 120.7% of the Q1 baseline, confirming the creation of a future-ready, scalable foundation that supports aggressive expansion

The Challenge:

The Hidden Cost of "Familiar"

RAAS had a solid reputation but was trapped by outdated processes that undermined its growth potential:

  • Fragmentation: Disconnected systems for documentation, billing, and scheduling led to manual workarounds, data errors, and delayed claims.
  • Provider Resistance: Clinicians, accustomed to traditional dictation, were naturally skeptical of generic, typing-heavy Electronic Health Records (EHRs).
  • Scalability Block: The paper-and-dictation workflow simply couldn't handle rising patient volumes or the addition of new providers without disproportionate increases in administrative overhead.

New leadership recognized that modernization was essential to preserve the quality of care and ensure long-term financial viability.

The Solution: An Allergy-Specialized,Human-Centered Partnership

RAAS chose ModuleMD for its deeply integrated, allergy-specialized platform. The transition was defined by a commitment to data accuracy and user adoption:

1. Tailored Technology for Allergy Workflows

  • AI-Powered Tech: AI-EHR is an electronic health record that automates clinical documentation, coding, to streamline workflows & boost efficiency.
  • Full Suite Deployment: Unified EHR and Practice Management for seamless data flow from check-in to payment.
  • SPOCK: Smart patient engagement tool with HIPAA-secure messaging, automated reminders, & seamless payments, boosting satisfaction & efficiency.
  • Allergy Configuration: Custom workflows implemented for complex allergy practice procedures like Allergen Immunotherapy (AIT) and Skin Testing, ensuring clinical accuracy and compliance.
  • The Provider Bridge: JOSH AI Dictation: ModuleMD’s proprietary AI-powered dictation tool, JOSH, allowed providers to transition smoothly from traditional dictation to a structured EHR, reducing "documentation friction" instantly.

2. Strategic Support & Training

  • Hands-On Implementation: Two weeks of intensive, on-site training for all departments (front desk, clinical, billing) to ensure proficiency across the entire suite.
  • Confidence Building: RAAS staff visited another high-volume ModuleMD practice, allowing them to see the system in action & build confidence in the new workflows.
  • Infrastructure Optimization: Strategic deployment of hardware (iPads, laptops, desktops) matched to specific workflow needs, removing barriers to point-of-care documentation.

The Impact: Quantitative Proof of ROI

The implementation drove immediate and sustained improvements, validating the choice of an allergy-focused partner.
