Focus On Billing

"The Total Office Flow Solution"

DB CONSULTANTS, INC. (DBC)

Jointly, DBC and CSC have created what we term ‘The Total Office Flow Solution’ – a seamless software solution that combines The CSC Patient Appointment Scheduler for patient scheduling and check in, The Physician’s Paperless Office® for notes and all office paperwork,  and the powerful DBC Medical Billing System, AS/PC® for billing.  Finally, the AutoPay® system will post electronically submitted claim payments automatically, allowing the staff to focus on exceptions.

Check-In
	The Appointments system allows you to make, move and cancel appointments.   When a patient arrives, the front desk ‘checks in’ the patient.  This electronically pulls the chart and notifies the appropriate practitioner in the clinical area that the patient has arrived.  The patient is available for the practitioner to access patient history, record notes and generate billing information.
Patient Encounter
The clinical screens allow the practitioner to quickly, possibly using a portable tablet computer or a touch screen, access the chart and record what was observed or done by using check marks and pop-up lists.   Patient history, tests, x-rays, etc. can be accessed instantly by the provider.   Billing codes are created as a bi-product of generating the note.  When the provider is done, the note can be either saved and signed, or saved to the secure mail system as a draft to be reviewed later.   The billing is electronically sent into the billing system.   According to the AMA, 20% of billing errors come between the provider and the billing entry person – this possibility is eliminated.  Also, the data entry step is eliminated.
Electronic Billing
The DBC Billing System permits a review of charges, then electronically submits them as a batch for subsequent payment.    The DBC Billing System includes extensive reporting to track receivables from carriers as well as patients to help make sure that payments are maximized.  Of course, paper claims can be generated, too.
Electronic Payment Posting (AutoPay®)
If the claim was electronically submitted, payment EOB’s may be received electronically and are posted to the DBC Billing System.  Exceptions are printed for follow up making the best use of billing personnel.   Click here for more information on DBC Products
