Run a leaner, more effective organization

With the right billing software, you can automate reports and statements; billing; claims; collection and recall letter generation; eligibility and claim status requests, and more. This will make a huge difference in financial viability and long-term success of your practice.

More payment from insurers and patients

Every year practices lose revenue by failing to collect total payment for services. Boost revenue from both third-party payers and patients with support from our technology tools—such as claims editing, a rules engine, a cost-estimator, self-pay solutions, and more.

Prevent denials

Tools such as claims scrubbing technology, in-line edits, and a rules engine analyze charges and claims and automate edits, significantly increasing the percentage of clean claims. Clean claims help prevent denials which equals an accelerated cash flow and more revenue.

Collect patient payments more easily

Our cost estimator makes it easier to collect patient payment upfront. Flexible, online payment options lower barriers to capture revenue and speed up collections. An easy-to-use portal increases patient engagement and gives you a user-friendly way to communicate with patients.

Save time by automating billing processes

Automate billing processes, such as statement generation, billing and claims generation, eligibility checks, and more. Schedule tasks for overnight completion or any other convenient time. Put billing processes on a continuous, automatic cycle.

Implement a charge review rules engine

This solution allows you to automate comparison of your charges against standards set by Medicare, Medicaid, and private payers. Before import of charges from the EHR into the PM system, it applies millions of coding rules to ensure billing accuracy.
