Medisoft Core Features for Patient Accounting

McKesson Medisoft has long set the standard for patient accounting and medical billing software for small-to-medium practices. It provides nearly all the capabilities of far more expensive medical billing programs at a price point that’s affordable for even independent practitioners. +MedisoftEHR is used daily in thousands of offices across the country, and, as the most popular patient accounting package in the country, is used in many schools to train medical billing students. McKesson updates Medisoft regularly to provide compliance with health care, insurance and regulatory changes. The current Medisoft version, Medisoft 19, is ICD-10 compliant and provides all the reporting capability required for participation in Meaningful Use implementation. Medisoft 19 includes an integrated EMR (electronic medical records) for further usability.

Medical Billing and Patient Accounting Core Features

Medisoft’s core features include modules to manage the most common daily, weekly and monthly tasks for practice management. It provides a simple dashboard with icons to access patient accounts, collections, patient receivables, billing histories and other reports. The reporting features make it easy for you to get real-time financial data to help you with decision making and tracking, and it’s all wrapped up in software that ensures full compliance with HIPAA.

Electronic Transactions

Medisoft 19 has all the features and reports you need to submit billing electronically, both to third parties and directly to patients. It also provides functionality to verify patients’ insurance eligibility at the point of contact, and checks all of your billing forms for the most common errors before submission. That increases your first-time acceptance and payment stats and helps improve your office’s cash flow.

BillFlash

Since v.18, Medisoft has integrated BillFlash to print and mail patient statements. BillFlash integration reduces all the time-consuming tasks associated with patient billing. If you choose to enroll in BillFlash, you can upload your statement files directly from within Medisoft.

In addition to the patient accounting features of Medisoft, the integrated EMR makes it easier for multiple providers to track and manage patient diagnoses and treatments. The communications dashboard provides an easy interface for ordering tests, submitting results and following up on consultations. And because everything is integrated into one suite of software, Medisoft includes multiple features that eliminate duplicated work, which reduces costs and increases productivity.

Medisoft is available from certified resellers nationwide. Many vendors provide additional services, such as installation help, training and support, to ensure that your office gets the highest benefit when you choose to implement it as your EMR and patient accounting solution.
