Electronic Claims Direct

| Lightning-Fast Insurance Claims |

|
Many health care billing programs can send insurance
claims with a modem. MediSoft has many options for electronic claims
-- from clearing house claims for easy, universal access, to direct
electronic claims modules for selected insurance carriers that eliminate
per-claim fees. All MediSoft software includes clearing house electronic
claims software at no extra charge. |
|
|
Electronic Claims are Faster than Paper
|
|
|
~>
|
Electronic claims significantly reduce the amount of
time a practice waits to be paid for their services. On average, electronic
claims are paid in half the time of paper claims. Electronic claims
improve payment speed in two ways: First, the mail system is avoided.
An electronic claim can arrive at a carrier's office within 24 hours
and be ready to be paid by their computer. Contrast this with the
time it takes for the post office to deliver the mail and data entry
staff at the carrier's office to enter the claim information! Second,
insurance carriers give priority processing to electronic claims.
Medicare processors cut two weeks off their payment time to give providers
the incentive they need to send claims electronically! |
|
| Which Claims Can Be Sent Electronically? |
|
|
~>
|
MediSoft Direct Electronic Claims software is offered
for selected insurance carriers. Medicare, Medicaid and Blue Cross/Blue
Shield accept claims directly from providers and billing services
in most areas. Few other carriers offer this option, making MediSoft
clearing house claims the perfect partner with direct claims modules
in most practices. |
|
| Electronic Claims are as Easy as Paper |
|
|
~>
|
Billing data is entered into MediSoft, then is used
to print paper claims or submit claims electronically. No additional
data entry is required -- Just select the Electronic Claims menu option! |
|
| Free Electronic Claims Software Isn't Free |

|
Carrier-supplied software works differently than MediSoft,
requiring extra time to learn and use. Claim information sometimes
must be entered a second time to use carrier-supplied software. MediSoft
Direct Claims modules work inside MediSoft, using the same familiar
menu structure and commands. Carrier Tested and Approved |

|
When a practice sees a concentration of patients who
are insured by a particular insurance carrier, direct insurance claims
can save the per-claim fee common with claims clearing houses. |
