New Features

Billing

Statements

• The Statements process has been completely re-imagined to be far more intuitive and automated.  We have re-designed our statement layouts to maximize patient collections.  We have also partnered with a new Statement Vendor to offer features like online bill pay via PaySimple and electronic statements. In addition, the new statement process takes a proactive approach to identify errors before creating a statement batch so that your team can correct them ahead of time.  The statement process has been moved out of the Billing Query screen and is now has its own section which contains two new screens - Ready to Send and Batches.
