PHYSICIANS & HEALTH SYSTEMS FAQs

  • MedKaz gives you what your EHR can’t—a complete, portable view of your patient’s care history, across all providers, past and present.

    Even when your system is down, internet is out, or you’re in a remote setting, MedKaz keeps you connected.

    It fits seamlessly into your workflow, saves you time at every visit, reduces administrative burden, and helps you focus on what matters: caring for patients.

    It’s free to use—and better yet, it earns you additional income. Less burnout. More time. Smarter care. That’s the MedKaz difference.

  • You use your patient’s MedKaz to review their medical history while you chart as usual in your EHR.
    You don’t enter anything into MedKaz directly.

    After the visit, your EHR system automatically sends a copy of your notes to the MedKaz Server, where they’re prepared for your patient to download.

    No extra work—just better information and seamless sharing.

  • Unlike your EHR experience, MedKaz is simple to use, requires no special training or support staff, blends seamlessly into your workflow, frees you to talk more with your patients, generates new profits not costs.

  • Your patients get peace of mind, smarter care, and better health—fewer errors, fewer tests, fewer sick days. They save on deductibles and copays, and finally have the tools to take control of their own care.

We have a very powerful EHR system. Why should we bother with MedKaz®?


Because it gives you what your EHR can’t.

Your system can’t do this—and these are facts.

MedKaz gives you instant access to your patient’s complete medical record—across all providers, even if you’ve never seen them before. Whether it’s a referral, a traveler, or your EHR is down due to power outages, natural disasters, or ransomware—MedKaz still works.

It includes records you may never receive otherwise—early notes, test results, and details from other providers that are critical to making informed decisions.

You save time getting up to speed. You reduce the burnout that comes from endlessly chasing information.

With MedKaz, you:

  • Avoid medical errors and duplicate visits, tests, and procedures

  • Improve care coordination and outcomes

  • Automatically share your notes with other providers—and receive theirs

  • Deliver better care at lower cost

And the best part?
It’s free to you. Your patient or their payer covers the cost. You get paid financial incentives for using it. That adds up—practices and hospitals can earn hundreds of thousands of dollars annually in new revenue and profit.

MedKaz is smarter care, finally made simple.

I prefer paper charts. I'm not interested in EHR systems.


MedKaz is system agnostic.
It enables you to coordinate your patients’ care even if you keep paper charts. And if you use it together with our special Patient Record Manager application, you can have your cake and eat it, too.

You’ll be able to keep paper records and still enjoy the practice-management benefits of electronic records. For example, when you are notified of a drug recall or a disease alert, you’ll be able to instantly generate a list of your patients affected, along with their contact information, so you can immediately contact them.

How does MedKaz affect physician groups and ACOs?


MedKaz® gives ACOs the interoperability they need—without the IT headache.

When patients carry a MedKaz, physicians—whether in a group practice or across an ACO—can instantly share records and coordinate care, just like unaffiliated providers do.

But for ACOs, the impact goes even deeper.

Boost financial performance:
MedKaz can significantly influence your bottom line—for better or worse—by directly affecting care coordination, quality metrics, and avoidable costs.

Interoperate from day one:
No need to standardize EHRs across your network. MedKaz gives every practice, regardless of system, immediate interoperability—saving time, money, and complexity.

Simplify collaboration and growth:
Whether you’re merging, expanding, or integrating new practices, MedKaz makes it easy to unify patient records without costly IT infrastructure.


In short:
MedKaz makes ACOs more agile, more connected, and more profitable—right out of the gate.

Can I trust the records on my patients' MedKaz?


Absolutely. No one can change them.

Every record on your patient’s MedKaz comes directly from their care providers—and once downloaded, no one can alter or delete them. Not you. Not another provider. Not even the patient.

If your patient spots an error, they can attach an addendum to clarify or correct the information. The original record remains untouched—and the addendum is automatically displayed whenever that record is viewed.

Patients can choose to hide records (such as duplicates), but nothing is ever lost. Hidden records are fully retrievable with a single click.

MedKaz protects record integrity—while keeping patients and providers on the same page.

Is MedKaz just another fly-by-night system? Here today, gone tomorrow?


MedKaz
works seamlessly with today’s electronic—and even paper-based—systems, and it’s ready for whatever comes next. It’s the most versatile, future-proof solution you’ll ever use.

Why is MedKaz a minidrive rather than a smartphone app?

Because, according to Pew Research, more than 32 million adult Americans — most of whom are heavy users of healthcare — do not own smartphones, they only have cell phones.

They include almost 22 million senior citizens (37% of Medicare’s 60 million insureds) and more than 10 million, or 29%, of those with annual incomes under $50K. In contrast, anyone can afford and use MedKaz. (When more own smartphones, we’ll consider offering MedKaz as a smartphone app.)

We’re not allowed to plug a minidrive into our computers.

That’s not only fine—it’s exactly what we recommend.

For security, do not plug your patient’s MedKaz into your EHR system.
Instead, use a non-network computer or Microsoft surface tablet, alongside your existing charting workflow. This ensures your system—and your patient’s MedKaz—stay fully protected from potential malware or tampering.

A dedicated non-networked device costs less than $1,000—a one-time investment that’s dwarfed by the ongoing revenue MedKaz generates for your practice. (See below)

Protect your system. Boost your income. It’s a win-win.

How do I use MedKaz without disrupting my routine?

Simple—MedKaz fits into your existing workflow. It’s not a charting system. It’s a powerful source of patient information.

Here’s how it works:

  • Log in and go: When you open a patient’s MedKaz, a browser displays a Health Summary. This gives you a quick view—saving you 3–6 minutes per visit.

  • Need context?
    With just a few clicks, you can search and view notes from the patient’s other providers. You can even download them (with the patient’s consent) into your own system—as searchable documents or structured data.

  • Finish as usual:
    You chart the visit in your EHR as you do now. Then, your assistant or medical records team uploads a copy to the MedKaz Server.

No extra data entry. No disruption. Just better information—right when you need it.

How much does MedKaz cost me or my practice?

Nothing! Zero! Nada! MedKaz is free to you! Instead of costing you money it actually generates substantial new income and profits for you or your practice!

Instead of you paying us, you are paid each time you use your patient’s MedKaz and each time you upload a patient’s record to our MedKaz® Server. If your EHR system is programmed appropriately, it uploads records automatically. Otherwise, an assistant or your Medical Records Department uploads them.

Your only cost is the one-time cost to equip your exam rooms with a non-network computer or Microsoft tablet (if you don’t already have one). This cost is dwarfed by your annual new revenue stream which can easily exceed thousands of dollars annually per care provider. You’ll enjoy exceptional returns on your investment. To estimate your annual new revenue and your ROI, model your practice on our Value Calculator.

Soon, we expect employers, insurers and government to offer MedKaz as a wellness benefit and pay the MedKaz subscription fee and other incentives, such as a premium over your normal office visit reimbursement rate when you use your patient’s MedKaz® during a visit. It’s in their self-interest to do so because MedKaz enables you to reduce the cost of care, and they are the ones who enjoy the bulk of the savings.

Must I change my EHR system to accommodate MedKaz?

Not at all.
MedKaz works alongside your existing EHR—no overhaul required.

But if your IT team makes a few quick updates, uploading records becomes fully automated (here comes the light tech talk):

  • Add three fields to each patient record:
    ✅ A checkbox for “MedKaz user”
    ✅ A MedKaz ID field
    ✅ A field for the patient’s photo

  • Then, configure your server to automatically upload a copy of the visit record—along with the CCD and CCDA files—to the MedKaz Server after each appointment.

That’s it. Fast, simple, and future-ready.

I'm too busy. I don't have time to learn to use MedKaz.

Learning to use MedKaz is nothing like learning to use your EHR system. No special training is required to use MedKaz!

If you can perform a search and read a document in a browser, you’ll manage MedKaz easily and so will your patients.
