  • Whether you are a solo physician or in a multi-physician, multi-location clinic, you are required to submit your charges to insurance companies on an HCFA form or through electronic filing. There are many types of medical billing software to choose from to accomplish this task.

    How to Choose

    When choosing a software package, consider the size of your office, the number of patients you treat in a month, how knowledgeable your staff is in medical billing, the support offered by the vendor and the cost of the software.

    Turnkey

    Turnkey is software that is packaged and ready to use. Turnkey requires staff that is knowledgeable in medical billing. Be sure the company offers updates and support when needed.

    Desktop

    Desktop software runs on an individual PC/MAC. Although fast and effective, with lots of control over its use, it is a one-user control and you are limited to whoever has access to the PC that it is installed on.

    Web-Based

    Web-based software solutions are browser-based and only allow you to have one page open at a time. This is the least flexible software in terms of growth potential.

    Server-Based

    Server-based software with Internet accessibility is software that resides on a server. Multiple users can assess the software at the same time on a server.
