• Entering Charges
Charge entry is quick and efficient. Data entry personnel can use the tab or Enter key to quickly perform data entry with minimal mouse clicks. You type the “fee abbreviation” from your fee schedule. As you type, MedBill Pro displays the matching item. Hit Enter to apply the charge. A new charge line is automatically inserted whenever you complete a line. “Multi-Charge codes” can be setup to apply several procedures or modalities with a button click.
• Patient Payments
When patient payments are entered, any unpaid co-pays for the patient are shown and the payment can be applied to the co-pays when appropriate.
• Insurance Payments
MedBill Pro finds the patient for you as you type the patient’s last name. When you select the patient, the insurance payers used by this patient are shown for your selection. Descriptions for payments by check are automatically created as shown below. An EOB cross-reference can be entered for tracking purposes. When you click the “Post To Claims” button, all unpaid claims for this patient and payer are displayed
• Posting The Payment To Claims
The $145.00 payment shown above can now be posted to the insurance claim which generated the payment. This is entered in the area called “New Payment Amount”. Normally, a payment will close the claim. You can keep the claim open if you believe that the payer has not met their full payment responsibility. Note that any write-off needed on this claim can be entered on this screen at the bottom of the window. When you post in this method, MedBill Pro automatically spreads the payment to the individual charges on the claim. This is done according to your fee schedule information. If you wish to post the payment directly to the charges yourself, you do this by clicking the “Line Item Post Selected Claim” button.
• Posting The Payment To Individual Charges
This is an optional method of posting an insurance payment to the charges. Some practices prefer to post payments to each individual charge rather than letting the system automatically do this. When you click the “Line Item Post Selected Claim” button (shown above), you can post the amount paid on each individual charge. Buttons are available to auto-fill these amounts to the amount you expect to receive per your fee schedule.
