PMRNC:
I was thinking the same thing. There will never be a PM system that has all of what we want, however in terms of development you can find one for the long haul w/out much trouble. Not trying to talk you out of it, or knock it but statistically speaking it costs a lot of money to develop a software AND maintain it in this industry, if your not going to market/sell it you will spend more money trying to keep it current. JMHO
I'm not going to get too upset over the companies with the billing companies.. after thinking more of it, we shouldn't have anything to worry about, in fact maybe it will keep us on our toes. :)

I don't feel the need to explain my reasoning for anything I'm doing. I only mentioned my plans for my own software, not in hopes to convert or sell. Clearly you should be doing what's best for you, as I'm always going to do what's best for me and my business, which is multifaceted. I'm not on any soapbox, but rest assured whatever I do is well planned and though-out, and always in the best interest of my business.
As I stated before and meant to leave was that Kareo or any other vendor having their own billing company doesn't bother me. This is business and I doubt any of these companies will blatantly go over the clients of companies paying them to use their service. But, of course, that's just me.

I'm sorry if I came off as offensive and you certainly don't need to explain anything to me. I was simply curious to know if there was something you were looking for in a software solution that you hadn't found. I thought maybe we could help you. Anyway, no biggie.

Not offensive but it became something bigger than needed to be. I've been a biller for a long time, a CPC and RHIT for shorter, prob worked on every software around, but this doesn't mean I'm above suggestions, opinions, or comments. I came here for help not to long ago and I try to be helpful. I probably shouldn't have brought it up in this topic, because it's not just about PM software, but my credentialing, and collections software, for all facets of my business. So my need to have my own has everything to do with needing/wanting something that can be multi-layered and handle all these things without me needing to have 3 different software that do 3 different things. Hope that makes sense. Either way I appreciate and respect all comments, just felt it was getting off track, considering it was just an off comment, not meant to start a debate. And my only point was is I don't do anything without thinking it through and taking cost into consideration, and since it's my brother helping me, I feel confident that we will come up with something, but again I've taken everything everyone has said into consideration long before I mentioned it here, as others asked me the same questions, and I asked my self these questions long before we started.
PS: I'm in class haha, bored, and on this forum. Clearly, I love this place. ;D

Sometimes it is better to have software that performs a specific task, and performs it well. Often, software that is designed to do multiple tasks does none of them well. That is just a comment and not an argument. I know your brother can customize the sofware to meet your specific needs, which will no doubt function much better than commercial software that is trying to meet everybody's needs.
Given the push to interoperability and the HL7 standard, I'm reading about your brother's programming skills with interest. The biggest thing I need right now is a data input screen where the input fields can be customized (patient demographics, insurance info., etc). I'm guessing there is an emerging market for such a screen that every user could attach to whatever software their vendor / client is providing. For example, imagine someone with ten different clients, and each wants the biller to use their own software. It would be wonderful for the biller to have one (or two if necessary) screens that would interface with all of the different client's softwares/databases. Having such a standardized screen(s) would speed up the biller's work and cut down on the potential for error as the biller switches from one screen layout to another to another, as s/he moves from one client' software to another to another. Just a thought. (Edit: I'm talking about the screen used to put new patient information in, and/or used to verify a current patient's demographics and insurance info - not all the other screens a biller would use in the course of billing and generating reports.)
I made reference to interoperability at the following link. The link I gave there to an interoperability article no longer works, but I quoted from that article, so you can read a bit there if interested.
