Frequently Asked Questions

How does your service work?

All you need to do is send us your charges/payments, either by secure email, fax or using an integrated EHR. You can also upload these to our Communications Portal, which is our main collaboration platform, completely web based. Your daily charges are processed within 1 day of receipt and your payments within 2 days of receipt.

What services do you perform?
We perform a Full Billing Service Solution, from entering the data to a full reporting service, plus data analysis to provide feedback on how to improve your business.
Can data from my existing software be transferred and used?
This depends on how your existing software handles data exports. We do the research for you to find out if your current software can export or integrate the data to any other PM. If not, we can enter the information manually in our database.
How much does your service cost?
Our fees vary depending on your specialty and practice size and whether or not you scan your documents. No matter which solution you choose, you will almost surely experience significant savings, and our efficient processing model will quite likely result in an increase in your overall collections.

The Savings Calculator estimates your savings based on a 3-6% of your monthly receipts.

For billing:

For Office Patients: the patient demographics and Insurance information. This is required only for new patients and patients who have had a change in their demographic or insurance information plus the Superbill.

For Hospital patients: The hospital patient registration form (Facesheet) plus the procedures and diagnosis written down.

The starting process will depend on whether you want us to convert your existing data, use your current platform or implement a new one.
