Improve practice performance with Medisoft Version 15

Medisoft software plays an integral role in the patient encounter process beginning with scheduling. The standard Medisoft scheduling engine replaces inefficient paperbased schedules with an electronic view of your office resources, making it quick and easy to schedule, move or cancel appointments.

The Office Hours Professional add-on module makes the
front desk even more efficient, enabling staff to:

• Use a color-coded
  appointment template to reserve time slots for certain types of appointments

• Track the status of appointments and mark them as unconfirmed, confirmed, checked in, being seen, checked out, missed or cancelled.
  
• Display appointments based on office preference, such as: by day, week or month; by provider; or by equipment or treatment room.
  
• Print patient-specific superbills for all appointments scheduled.
  
• Produce a list of a patient’s upcoming appointments.

From front office to back office, Medisoft helps make sure you receive the maximum reimbursement for the services you provide. Key software features include the ability to:

• Verify insurance eligibility before scheduled appointments.
  
• Collect co-payments and balances due at the time of check-in.
  
• Add payments directly into the Medisoft billing system from the scheduling screen.
  
• Produce a “quick receipt” for payments collected up-front.

• Set up patients using the Patient Quick Entry feature, which consolidates billing data entry into one easy screen.
  
• Submit claims electronically and manage claims by resubmitting individual claims or batches of claims when there is a dispute with a payor.
  
• Produce professional, easy to read patient statements.
  
• Automatically populate the Collections Worklist for follow-up with payors and patients on unpaid claims.
