A few months ago, we reviewed the top-rated free or open-source medical billing software programs for the industry. The free or open source systems provide low-cost solutions for medical insurance paper billing and office financial management practices. On the other hand, these freeware programs may not be the best choices for some of the physicians or medical office managers who are looking for a high-quality solution. Here we will focus on the best commercial medical billing software systems we can find in the market.
A good medical billing application should provide full functions and features for insurance billing and payment tracking and keep up with the new industrial policies. For example, it could support paper claims with CMS-1500 forms or HIPAA electronic billing.
Top Medical Billing Software Services for Medical Managers and Physicians in 2012
Software companies and medical service providers have developed many kinds of excellent solutions for medical billing management practices. They provide billing services in different ways. Some of them make money mainly from selling software programs. Some others charge for the daily billing services they provide.
EZClaim is a medical insurance billing software provider. Its EZClaim Advanced Medical Billing provides the services of electronic claims, HIPAA electronic billing with ANSI 837P EDI claim file, and paper claims with CMS-1500 forms. It also integrates the functional modules of insurance payment tracking, recurring insurance claims, insurance claim templates, and patient research. EZClaim charges hundreds of US dollars or more for each medical office.
On the other hand, FreeDom provides a medical office manager software program with a billing module for free downloading. But the free services only last for three months. After 90 days of enrollment, a user should pay a minimum of $100 per month. In this circumstance, FreeDom does not have many advantages compared to other professional solutions, though it is still a good one. For example, EZClaim also provides a Web-based medical billing and claim system starting at a price of $99 per month.
