eMDs has a stand alone billing product. It would still be double entry but they have many different clearing houses to choose from. I use Availity formerly Thin. It is free for basic EDI claims submission. 99% of my claims are paid quickly.

Hello Everyone,I am confused as to what to do next. I need to move my billing from MD Synergy, an office management system, to another company. I am paying MD Synergy $400/month now for just electronic bill submission. I have an in-house biller. (I did not have a choice last year when MD Synergy doubled its price and I had little time to do research. I also had to sign a contract for a year and give them 3 months notice if I did not want it automatically renewed. My contract is up at the end of October and I already gave them notice.)I am now using Amazing Charts for my EMR and appointments. There is double work for my biller/secretary since all appointments need to be re-entered into MD Synergy for billing purposes. AC is expecting to have its own billing software but it may not happen for months/years. Here are my specific questions:Is it easy to move to another clearing house? Any tips on how to do it?Would Office Ally

be a good choice for me? Is there a better solution for AC? Thanks in advance for your invaluable help.Alla

Your in-house biller should be doing this research for you.I have been using Doctors Access since 1993 and have always been happy with them. It is clean and straight forward.

I have had AC for 4 years, exporting to EZ claims for billing software for 3

years and uploadong to Iplexus clearing house X 2 yr--present combo is working

quite well, though not perfect.

Very difficult if you do not have a billing software.

You can can call/e-mail me if you need details.

Oh, and 2 years ago I changed to Iplexus from Emdeon, they were a relatively

smooth switch (took about 2 mths), since I overlapped them both, and I have a

biller too who spent many hours on the phone co-ordinating.

EZ claims is an expense, but worth it to me.

Alla It was not hard for me to move…. I would look at the Practice Fusion/Kareo combo Practice Fusion does not cost unless you choose their “no ad” model And Kareo is very reasonable in cost yet robust.
