Suggestions for Billing Software

--- Quote ---Am I being non compliant by using Excel? If so, from what I've read it seems cloud based would not be cost-effective for a small operation like mine. Maybe Lytec as Michele suggests?

Using Excel on the cloud would not be HIPAA compliant at all, I suppose if you wanted to take the extra steps to encrypt but store only locally you could do that. I wouldn't utilize Excel as a PM solution at all as it would be extremely inefficient for a billing company aside from not being compliant if the sheets contain any PHI.

Good point. I assumed that the Excel was local only which is how we have ours. I agree though, I would think it's very inefficient so as you grow you should look at other options.

Thank you, Michele and PMRNC. My excel and other billing data is not cloud based, it's local and stored only on an external hard drive. I can already see how it would not be efficient as my business grows. The only other practitioners that I have spoken to use Practice Mate on Office Ally or just enter CMS-1500 claims on O.A. through the Service Center option.

You can work with that with your experience to start, it would be a better option than a spread sheet system and if the system(s) are setup with the client already, why make them do a backwards conversion to your system when they should move forward not backwards. While I will say that Practice Mate and Office Alley are not the best solution, they work ok for many small practices so why not utilize THEIR systems and save yourself the headache? Later if you find it necessary give them some software suggestions and let them make the choice down the road. My favorite saying is "If it ain't broke, don't fix it". :)

My Clients Plus
Practice Mate (forced to by client, not great)

The thing is, I'd love to only use one, but there are relationships and contracts that exist inside provider offices. This is natural.
