Our software has a powerful integration between medical records and billing to make healthcare administration easier. This means healthcare facilities can manage patient information and billing in one place, reducing errors and optimise revenue cycle management. Below we break down the different aspects of this integration and how it benefits patient care and financials.
Streamlined Billing
The integration between medical records and billing means billing is as simple as possible. With our software healthcare providers can link consultations, treatments, procedures and medications to the billing system. Once a medical service or item is logged in the patient’s record it is automatically flagged as billable and the facility can generate invoices and receipts with one click. The connection between clinical documentation and billing is seamless so administrative tasks are reduced and services are billed on time.
Revenue Cycle Management
The integration not only makes billing simpler but also improves overall revenue cycle management. By linking medical records to billing our program ensures all services are captured and billed on time. This reduces revenue leakage which occurs when services are not billed correctly or missed altogether. The system also supports copayments and installment plans so healthcare facilities have flexibility in managing patient payments and increasing financials.
Reducing Billing Errors
Billing errors are a common problem in healthcare. With our software errors are reduced through the automated link between medical records and billing. Each service logged in the medical record is transferred directly to the billing queue so no treatment or procedure is missed. The system also cross checks entries to ensure what is billed matches the clinical service provided. This not only makes billing more accurate but also reduces time spent on billing corrections and adjustments.
Patients Can Be Billed Using Invoices and Receipts
The software supports both invoices and receipts for billing patients. When services are logged in the patient’s medical chart they can be converted into financial documents based on the chosen billing method. Invoices are for services that require later payments so patients can settle balances at their convenience. Receipts are for immediate payments so services are paid on the spot. The flexibility to choose between these billing types caters to different patient scenarios and optimises cash flow for the facility.
Items from Company Module Are Available in Medical Records Entry
Our software links the company’s inventory to the medical records module. This means healthcare providers can access all available items (medications and medical supplies) when documenting patient treatments. By pulling from the company module the software ensures healthcare staff can only prescribe or use items that are in stock so there’s no stock discrepancy. Every item logged during treatment is added to the patient’s billable items list instantly so the process from clinical care to financial recording is streamlined.
Preventing Prescription of Items Not in Stock
The system prevents prescription or billing of items not in stock. When a healthcare provider tries to prescribe an item the software checks if it’s available. If it’s out of stock an alert is generated and the user is prompted to either adjust the prescription or request inventory. This feature keeps stock levels accurate and ensures all prescriptions are fulfillable so patient care and inventory management is improved.
Bill with One Click the Services and Items Delivered
The program allows billing of services and items dispensed during patient visits. Healthcare providers can just select the services delivered and products used and with one click these are converted into invoices or receipts. This feature reduces administrative workload as the software populates the necessary details from the medical records. So healthcare facilities can focus more on patient care and less on administrative tasks.
Integrates with Billing, Laboratory, Imaging, Nurse Notes
Our medical records and billing integration extends to other key modules. Here are the major integrations:
Billing Module: Medical records module is tightly linked to the billing system. Any service or item logged in the patient’s record is automatically flagged for billing so healthcare providers don’t have to re-enter information. This link reduces billing errors and speeds up billing process.
Laboratory Module: Laboratory services ordered through medical records are linked to billing. As soon as lab results are recorded the costs are added to the patient’s invoice. This link ensures lab work is billed correctly and on time.
Imaging Module: Same as laboratory services, imaging tests are also linked to billing. Results and procedures logged in the patient’s chart are automatically transferred to the billing module so facilities can bill for these services without extra manual input.
Nurse Notes Module: Nurse entries are linked to billing when they involve treatments, medications or patient monitoring that have costs. This link ensures nurse activities contributing to patient care are documented and billed.
Medical Records and Billing Features
Automated Billing for Treatments and Procedures
When healthcare providers log treatments and procedures in the medical record the system converts these entries into billable items. The ability to bill or receipt immediately after service is provided reduces administrative lag and improves cash flow.
Invoicing for Multiple Locations
Our software allows billing for services across multiple locations. When items or services from different branches or locations are logged the software prompts the user to create separate invoices for each location. This feature keeps records accurate for each facility and updates stock levels accordingly.
Copayment and Prepaid Plans
The program has features to manage copayments and prepaid plans. When a patient is covered under a copayer’s plan the system applies the necessary discounts or copayment details during the billing process. This ensures patients get the financial benefits they are entitled to and the facility’s billing records are accurate.
Billing Overview Dashboard
The billing module has a centralized dashboard that gives an overview of financial activity. The dashboard shows unpaid invoices, balances and upcoming payments so administrative staff can manage patient accounts effectively. It also tracks copayers, special offers and estimates so healthcare facilities have control over their revenue.
Reporting and Financial Analysis
Our software has robust reporting tools to track and analyze billing data. Facilities can generate reports on unpaid invoices, copayer contributions, stock usage and overall revenue. Reports are customizable so healthcare managers can tailor the analysis to specific timeframes, departments or patient groups.
Prepaid Item Management
Prepaid items such as services or inventory products that are invoiced but not yet delivered are managed efficiently in the software. The system keeps a record of all prepaid items so staff can track their status. When these items are delivered the stock levels and financial entries are updated accordingly so records are accurate.
Customizable Invoice and Receipt Templates
Healthcare facilities using our software can customize invoice and receipt templates to match their branding. The system allows integration of logos, facility details and personalized messages so all billing documents look professional and consistent. Templates can be adjusted for different billing scenarios such as installments or copayments so facilities can clearly communicate billing details to patients.
