Super Billing (#SuperBilling) - Must haves for your medical billing software

Posted by adsuperbiling on September 24th, 2015

Running a medical centre is tough enough without adding substandard software to the list. Every single department of your medical centre that runs on software should have nothing but the best and latest versions. Billing is one such department. Smooth billing software like Super Billing (#SuperBilling) ensures that you bill accurately, so that your payments don’t get stuck. After all, timely payments are required to keep your centre up and running. If you are setting up a new medical centre or are looking to upgrade your current software, here are a few things that you should keep in mind before making your purchase:

Claims and clearinghouse choices

The first question that you need answered when you are considering a billing system like Super Billing(#SuperBilling), is ‘How easy is it to process claims?’ Whichever software you use should allow you to create accurate claims with ease. Claims that not filed properly lead to resubmission and hence a delay in payments being processed. A business cannot function when its payments don’t come in on time.  Another important aspect that you check on is if the software manufacturer allows you to choose your own clearinghouse. Cheaper software tends to tie you in with their clearinghouses that end up costing much more than if you were to choose your own.

Is the software easy to use and efficient?

Whether you choose Super Billing(#SuperBilling) or any other similar software, you will need to check its platform and see how easy it is to use. Software that is intuitive and user friendly will help your billing department become more efficient. Can the software in question submit claims in a timely manner? Can it generate reports? Can it capture details of claims made by a payer via Electronic Remittances?  Software that is fully loaded with all of these features will ensure that your centre has a smooth and effortless inflow of cash from payments.

Training and support

Choosing new billing software like Super Billing(#SuperBilling) means that there will be times when you will require training and support. How good is the vendor’s support system? Every vendor will tell you that they have an excellent support system. Don’t take their word for it. Ask around, get in touch with their existing customers and ask for feedback. You will also need to check on their training services. While the existing people in your billing department maybe familiar with the way billing software works, what about those that aren’t? Are training and orientation included in the initial costs?
