Our Electronic Claims Processing versus Office Software

There are several significant benefits to having Medi-Claims electronically submit your claims, instead of using existing or new Office Software to do the job in your office. For starters, all electronic submissions are not the same. Many popular software programs simply eliminate the mailman by sending your forms electronically to the insurance carrier. Ask yourself a few simple questions to evaluate any software you may already have. Does it audit your claims for mistakes, withhold claims with errors, provide claim submission status reports within 48 hours, and are you typically getting paid in 10-14 business days. Even if you answer yes to all of these questions, you still face the challenges of higher employee costs and extra office work for electronic submissions, employee turnover retraining, and entrusting a major factor in your overall cash flow to someone that probably has a lot of other duties too.

We suggest you try our electronic claims processing before you invest in any equipment or software to try to reduce claim costs. Medi-Claims provides a fixed cost per claim agreed upon in advance with a risk free trial. Thereafter, your claims are processed by trained professionals with full time access to the EDI Healthcare Network to resolve any problems or concerns. You become serviced by one of the largest and most efficient claims networks in the country without having to pay extra. Unlike most commercial software programs, there are no monthly minimums, no hidden charges, no annual renewal fees and no program update charges or training classes to attend.

It is important to realize that you NEVER give up control over your claims by using Medi-Claims to submit them electronically for you. You are still in charge. You just have a professional service that does not take away from other office duties, create overtime costs, have absenteeism, or require extensive training or have turnover costs.

In house claims processing means staff training time and start up errors whether you do paper or electronic filing yourself. Software programs are seldom as easy to master as advertised, as you probably know from when you first installed a Microsoft Windows or Macintosh program on your computer. Unless you are convinced that you will save significantly more by doing it yourself, the benefits of low cost outsourcing to Medi-Claims usually outweighs the extra responsibility of keeping up with in house software programs and recurring costs.
