Software to help medical practices manage their finances has been around for decades. However, today’s electronic chiropractic billing programs are more accurately called chiropractic practice management software and bears only the most basic resemblance to its older counterparts.
Electronic medical billing software covers a wide range of functions including:
* Tracking patient demographics, visits, and diagnoses;
* Collecting, transmitting, and tracking billing information and insurance payments;
* Managing appointment scheduling; and
* Generating a variety of reports.
In addition, most billing programs will also bring you into compliance with the sections of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) that specify increased security standards, ANSI billing formats, and more. Note that we say “most” - some software may provide only partial HIPAA compliance. You should quiz vendors carefully about the HIPAA compliance of any software you are evaluating, particularly around electronic billing and security measures. More Here Medical Billing Outsourcing
