Medisoft Basic
Patient Accounting
Medisoft is designed to make your practice run more efficiently in the storage and retrieval of patient data and referral tracking. It lets you quickly create multiple reports for practice management and aids in developing a sound financial ground while still maintaining the primary focus of rendering quality health care services, by doing those chores that the computer does best—the repetitious handling of patient information in the various areas where the data is needed. It gives you a maximum amount of data with a minimum of effort.

True Open Item Accounting 
One of the main features of MediSoft is the true Open Item Accounting. Transactions entered stay on the active ledger until they are specifically paid. There is no clearing of the ledger and bringing up a total to start the new month, as in balance forward accounting. Part of that is because there is line entry capability, meaning you can enter payment transactions to a specific procedure on that ledger, leaving the unpaid procedures for future accounting.

HIPAA Security

  • Audit entries cannot be purged from the program. This is in compliance with HIPAA regulations.

  • Chart number, billing numbers, and other protected health information (PHI) can be included in the Data Audit Report. You have some control over which tables or functions you want included through the Audit Generator, a new way to prepare the Data Audit Report. However, some PHI information will be included regardless of the fields/tables you want to include or exclude.

  • You can be logged in to one dataset on only one computer at a time. If you are logged in on one computer and try to log in on another (into the same dataset), a message pops up. You have to log out of the first computer before you can log in on another computer.

  • Establish requirements for valid login and password access to the program through Login/Password Management.  

  • Add an expiration date to user login settings. 

  • Print a report that tracks all user login and logout attempts. 

  • Apply a security question to a user's security setup to help verify the user when he or she cannot remember the password.

  • Data dictionaries have been implemented, in compliance with new HIPAA regulations, to provide greater control over program security. If you have any questions concerning this, call MedTech at (417) 890-6777.

  • Advantage Database protection has been implemented. This means any third-party software must be pre-approved by Per Se before it can access the database. Contact MedTech sales for information. Call (417) 890-6777.

Staff Productivity

  • Add a claim number field to the display in Transaction Entry. You can then change the status of the claim in the Charges grid.

  • Case-based transaction entry 
    One of the primary advantages to this kind of setup is that you have to enter patient information only once. It is accessed and applied each time a new case is set up. When a patient comes in for treatment of an ailment or condition, say stress fracture, set up a case, and all transactions for treatment of the fracture are entered within that case. If the same patient gets the flu, set up a new case and enter all transactions for treatments rendered for the flu ailment in the new case. 

    A second advantage involves insurance coverage. Because insurance coverage can, and frequently does, change, this information has been attached to the case file instead of the patient file. If insurance coverage changes in the middle of treating a particular ailment, set up another case for the same ailment with the new insurance information. If the previous carrier has not completed its obligations to the patient, MediSoft keeps that information intact to facilitate billing.

  • Claim Management
    Claim management is the final transmission area for all claims. You are presented with three choices: edit or make corrections to existing claims; create batches or groups of claims; or submit claims either on paper or electronically. The Claim Management window displays a list of claims and their statuses. Using the CTRL or SHIFT keys, you can select multiple claims for printing or reprinting.

  • You can set account alerts that appear in the Transaction Entry and Appointment windows that tell you when a patient has a certain remainder balance.

  • You can select a superbill number in Transaction Entry and pull up the transaction information by that number.

  • You can view all future appointments for a patient.

Electronic Data Interchange (EDI)

There are three (3) options for sending claims electronically:

  • Save claims to a file in the image of the HCFA-1500 claim form, then use GatewayEDI or other clearinghouse to submit the claims. Internet connectivity is required for this option. GatewayEDI is the preferred method to send EDI. Call us to enroll. 
  • Purchase a MediSoft Direct Claims Module to send claims directly to your Medicare receiver. In some states, this allows you send claims other than Medicare as well. A modem and phone line are required for this option. Entity Type fields are in the Patient/Guarantor, Provider, and EDI Receiver windows to facilitate the sending of electronic claims. In addition, the following fields are in the EDI Receiver window: Address tab--E-Mail and Web Address; Modem tab--FTP Address and FTP Port Number; ID and Extra tab--File Path and File Name, as well as a Group Practice check box.
  • You can send all claims through Per Se Electronic Claims Processing. Call us to enroll. A modem and phone line is required for this option. 

Electronic Statements

There are two (2) options for sending electronic statements.

  • Save claims to a print image of the patient statement, then use GatewayEDI or other clearinghouse to submit the statements. Internet connectivity is required for this option. GatewayEDI is the preferred method to send electronic statements. This option requires enrollment. Call us for information and to sign up. 
  • Send your statements electronically through MedPrint. It requires enrollment. Call us for information and to sign up. A modem and phone line are required for this option. 

Eligibility

You can make eligibility verification inquiries for patients with scheduled appointments or make a real-time inquiry for a specific patient. Requires subscription to the service.

Reports

  • Many reports now give you options concerning records that don't have a facility. By default, reports that include this information pay no attention to the facility, but include all records, regardless of the facility setting. To print only non-facility records in a report, click the Show only records with a blank facility box in the Data Selection Questions window. To print only records that include facilities, use the Transaction Facility Range. These options are available with the following reports: Day Sheets, Practice Analysis, Insurance Aging, and Insurance Aging Summaries.   

  • Audit Generator—Tailor your Data Audit Reports to suit your needs using the Audit Generator. The Audit Generator lets you determine what is included in the report.

  • Login/Logout Report>—Keep track of who is logging in and out of the program, how often, when, and how many times the login is unsuccessful.

  • Patient Statements
