Prompt and accurate billing to private pay insurance companies and other insurers provides the backbone for any physician’s office. It is no surprise that a substantial amount of a practice’s administrative duties center on working with some part of the billing process.

Constant preparation, reconciliation or adjustments in the billing system is a fact of life. Plus, there is time spent fixing errors in insurance claims. That’s why many doctors choose to use a specific claims management and billing software, which can help ensure bills are properly prepared the easy reconciliation of payments the first time.

One such software, Leonardo MD Medical Claims Management & Billing, provides everything necessary to complete the billing cycle. Leonardo helps reduce costs by eliminating investments in a large software and hardware installation. The entire billing and claims management system is entirely Web-based, requiring nothing more than a computer and internet access.

The data is protected by strong encryption and backed up at a secure, commercial facility. With the software individuals can create, scrub, and submit electronic claims.  It also offers an automated claims scrubbing system to double-check that all claims are error free. The software also offers an option to prepare super bills. It has a listing of all the procedure codes (CPT, ICD-9, and HCPS) and allows for integration with a billing service.

Access is available to an online coding reference to prevent billing errors. The service allows individuals to print CMS-1500 claims, or submit primary and secondary electronic ANSI 837 claims. Online billing services streamline the collection process by offering billing, tracking tools and reports to see claims through from start to finish.
