Because MediSoft uses the latest Advantage™ Database Server,
network traffic is decreased which, in turn, improves performance [less data
traveling].
Above the Advanced Patient Accounting for one user, in the Client/Server
or Network setting, the database does all of the work requested by its
clients. The Advantage™ Database Server [MediSoft's server engine] receives
the request for a database operation from the client, locates the database
files on the server, processes the database operation, then returns only the
results to the client.
The Advantage™ Database Server integrity system ensures that database
updates run to completion - it will not execute partial commands. The
integrity of your data no longer depends on the stability of the
workstations or the network.
IMPORTANT FOR ALL SYSTEMS: WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND A VIDEO CARD WITH AT LEAST
256 MB RAM. THIS IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT AS NEW VERSIONS OF MEDISOFT REQUIRE
MORE RESOURCES. NOT HAVING A CARD WITH ITS OWN MEMORY WILL RESULT IN A
SLOWER SYSTEM.
Connection licenses
to the database server are available for 2, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100, 250, and
unlimited users.
Streamline workflow from scheduling through collections with MediSoft
The MediSoft® practice management system from McKesson is a
market-leading solution used by more than 70,000 providers to improve cash
flow and increase office productivity. MediSoft streamlines all routine
practice tasks — including scheduling, billing and collections management —
to help manage the business of healthcare so your office can focus on
delivering patient care.
MediSoft software plays an integral role in the patient encounter process
beginning with scheduling. The standard MediSoft scheduling engine replaces
inefficient paper based schedules with an electronic view of your office
resources, making it quick and easy to schedule, move or cancel
appointments.
From front office to back office, MediSoft helps make sure you receive the
maximum reimbursement for the services you provide. Key software features
include the ability to:
- Verify insurance eligibility before scheduled appointments.
- Collect co-payments and balances due at the time of check-in.
- Add payments directly into the MediSoft billing system from the
scheduling screen.
- Produce a “quick receipt” for payments collected up-front.
- Set up patients using the Patient Quick Entry feature, which
consolidates billing data entry into one easy screen.
- Submit claims electronically and manage claims by resubmitting
individual claims or batches of claims when there is a dispute with a
payor.
- Produce professional, easy to read patient statements.
- Automatically populate the Collections Worklist for follow-up with
payors and patients on unpaid claims.
Advanced Features in MediSoft for Networks
- Define in Program Options which aging categories your office will
use for patient and insurance aging.
- Assign an Insurance Withhold code type to procedure codes for
insurance carriers that withhold a percentage of the payment until a
later date.
- Export statements, claim forms, reports and lists to plain text
files.
- New version of the Report Designer includes the option to print
title pages and new options for ledger style reports.
- Verify a patient’s eligibility status in a healthcare plan with
Eligibility Verification. You may request an eligibility inquiry that
will include information on the patient’s deductible, maximum benefits,
co-payments and coinsurance amounts, and status in the specific plan
programs (spin down, CHCUP [CHILD CHECK UP] dates, PCP, etc.). To use
this option, just enroll with NDC® Health and pay a fee for each
eligibility request.
- Process your credit card transactions directly from MediSoft. To use
this option, enroll with NDC® and pay enrollment and per transaction
fees. There is also a percentage fee of the total credit card charges
similar to the credit card terminal you are already using.
A complete client/server system requires the purchase of MediSoft
Advanced for Networks and an appropriate number of database licenses for
your network [at least 2-user license].
