Do you pay someone to handle your billing? Do you spend a large amount of effort tracking what insurance company was billed when? Are you tired or rejection after rejection?
Solution:
Getting paid in a timely manner for your services is the goal of effective billing. By integrating all your information in ChiroPractice Pro, we provide an effective, easy to use way of getting the proper information to the insurance companies so thay you can get paid.
Billing Model: Description: Patient information, including personal information and insurance information, is combined with diagnosis codes from each of the customized exams. This is supplimented by data from
the dail SOAP notes to gather types of CMT, modalities, procedures, x-rays, etc. to produce a 'smart' CMS-1500 form with all the required fields filled out. After review, the form is automatically
batched together with other billings for that day and uplaoded to our insurance clearinghouse partner, ENS. ENS then forwards the information to Medicare or other group insurance companies. If you prefer to drop
the claim to paper to submit on your own, this can also be accomplished. When the insurance completes it processing the EOBs(Explanation of Benifits) and Check are sent to you and ERAs(Electronic Remittance Advice) are sent to ENS which can be autoposted
to ChiroPractice Pro.
ChiroPractice Pro reports track each time the insurance is billed, if it's rejected, if/when it's paid, how much is paid, how much is adjusted due to contracts, when you bill the patient and all your accounts receivables.

If you don't know where you are going, you will probably end up somewhere else.

Problem:
Do you have goals for your practice? Do you know what your schedule percentage is for last month? What about your financial goals? Do you have a quick way of checking what your charging versus what your collecting? Do you track what your adjustments are?
Solution:
ChiropracticPro has a report feature that answers all these questions on a daily, weekly, monthly or yearly basis with our report feature.
Scheduling Visually track your scheduling percentage along with number of patients seen, no shows and the types of visits.
Charges
Finding which charges are making you the most money is as easy as creating a billing report. The breakdown of which patient and what charge is included every billing report.
Billing Status Quickly and easily tell from the day by day breakdown on the Charge Flow graph how well you are billing, adjusting and collecting on your charges.
What do the colors mean? Blue is the color of the charges made on that day
Green is the color of the payments made for that day
Red is the color of the adjustments made for that day
Yellow is the color of the insurance billings made for that day
How do I interpret it? If the yellow = the blue bar, then you've completely billed the insurance companies for all the charges made that day.
If the red bar + the green bar = the blue bar, then you have accounted for the enitre days charges.
If the red bar + the green bar < the blue bar, then you have outstanding balances due for that day.
