 Do you have any suggestions on a good medical software that I can purchase to start up my at home medical billing service?

Thanks for any information.

Hi,
There are several, but I will tell you about OfficeAlly. It is a good "FREE" software you can use until you are able to afford the other software programs you want to invest in. There is a charge of 19.95 a month if 50% of your claims are Medicare. I like it, its cost-effective. (free). I will probably change once my business progresses, but personally. I just don't have the income to pay the fees until I get a lucrative provider.

Also FYI..when shopping, do a good thorough investigation of each one. I personally wouldn't purchase any software that you cant get  a free demo of. Not just one showing screenshots, but one you can actually maneuver around in and see how user friendly it is.

It is hard to suggest a software without knowing a little more about what you are looking to do.  How many clients are you looking to get?  Are you planning on specializing in any one area?

Without knowing that, I would recommend that you consider whether you want a web based program or a server based program.  We used a server based one for the first 15 years, but recently switched to a webbased program.  Personally I am now completely sold on the web based as they are able to keep up with technology easier than the server based, and they offer more in my opinion.  We used Lytec for 15 years, and it served us well.  We switched to Xena which I am in love with.  It is currently still in the Beta phase and will be available September 15th.  If you would like more info on the Xena you can email me at michele-solutions@cnymail.com.

I agree, you really should know what your goals are. One thing I really regret is having had to have switched software so many times. I wish I had done MORE research in the beginning and knew all the consequences of switching.. Doing it right the first time IMO is the most efficient and cost effective way to starting out.
Data conversions are not only expensive but they are very time consuming and it's not a cost you can pass on to your clients.

Michele:
I agree.
