We currently outsource to a different billing service but don't know if they are doing a good job. At times this creates trust issues. Why will it be better if we change to iNtelli-Bill?

We work closely with our clearing houses to dissect every day what changes the payers have made to their filing requirements. Considering we created and constantly update our own software these changes are implemented almost immediately. No other billing service working with 3rd party software has this capability.

FAQ's specific to our Practice Management System

How do we make appointments?

Everyone has full access to our easy-to-use, advanced appointment scheduling system. Customized templates map out the preferred daily schedule for each provider so errors and overbooking are avoided. Automated patient warnings alert users to other existing appointments, of a patient’s missed appointment history, of a need for an authorization number, of a past due account. Online scripts for different appointment reasons prompt staff to remind patients of important information. Up-to-date, detailed schedules can be printed for doctors, chart pulling, etc.

You can print customized computer generated encounter forms (face sheets), on economical blank paper, that contain patient demographic information, appointment details, and the most commonly used CPT4 codes, diagnosis codes, or physician notes and instructions.

At patient checkout, you have the option to input patient charges and print an individualized computer generated receipt detailing diagnosis and transactions for the visit along with patient’s account balance and future appointment information.

Their screens will display a “Front Office” menu which contains the functions which they will operate. Billing functions (which are the responsibility of the Billing Service) will not appear on the client’s menu, which avoids confusion and simplifies training. Any additional Front Office functions which the Office Manager wishes to restrict for a particular individual will also be removed from that individual’s menu.

What happens if we want to move our billing functions in-house?

As the developer, iNtelli-Bill can easily set you up to take over the complete billing and practice management responsibilities for your practice.

You will have complete functionality of all features and conversion of your data will be FREE. We make this process easy for you because we firmly believe that after you have used our billing services you will never want to change. But if you do, we are here to help.
