Patagonia Health software electronically connects to more than 5,000 government and commercial insurance payers including Medicaid, Medicare, LME/MCO, Blue Cross Blue Shield, United, Cigna, etc. The system is compliant with all HIPAA transaction formats, including but not limited to 835, 837 and the new 5010.

Features include:

Appointment scheduling and reminders

  • The comprehensive and flexible scheduling module increases efficiency by scheduling patients, providers and resources.
  • Automatic email reminders help reduce no-shows.
  • Staff calendars can be shared internally.

Unlimited insurance eligibility verification

  • Quickly and easily check a patient’s insurance eligibility to reduce claims denials.
  • Within a couple of minutes, the responsible staff can query and verify insurance eligibility, co-pays and authorized services.

Patient ledger

  • The patient ledger keeps track of all claims, payments (by patients, insurers, providers) and balances, and provides a simple yet concise view of all patient financials.

Denials management and rejections

  • This module allows you to efficiently understand the reasons for denials as well as make the necessary changes to quickly enable the resubmission of the claims.

Charge entry and scrubber

  • Presetting a fee schedule in the system helps reduce routine/repetitive data entry.
  • The built-in data scrubber ensures that clean and compliant claims are submitted to the payers.
  • The billing module automatically submits primary and secondary claims per pre-configured rules established in the patient demographic setup.

Claims submission

  • The included clearinghouse connectivity expedites claim submission and payments. Claims can be submitted either in real-time or in batches to best suit your chosen workflow requirements.
  • Extensive reports are available to view the status of all claims (submitted, denials, paid, etc.).

Patient statements

  • Timely patient statements increase collections, reduce effort and accelerate payment cycles. Statements can be created with various pre-selected criteria (e.g. specific aging or balance) and can be configured to meet your needs.

Payment auto-posting

  • The billing module receives the Electronic Remittance Advise (ERA) from the payers in the HIPAA compliant 835 format. Received ERAs are reconciled against the original claims and then the claims are automatically posted against each patient’s claims/account.

Electronic Super Bill

  • Clinical notes captured in the EHR software flow into an Electronic Super Bill, or ESB. Billing staff can then quickly and easily review/audit all service charges in one central place and amend charges prior to sending them off to the payers.

Financial reports

  • Extensive reports are available that allow you to stay on top of the financial health of your business.
  • A personalized dashboard can be configured to meet your needs.
  • Numerous standard reports such as business analysis (by claims, by procedures) and activity summary (by provider, by insurance, etc.) help you manage your business efficiently.

Collections management

  • Increase cash flow by efficiently following up on collections and all accounts payable. Collection reports can be easily exported for forwarding to a collections agency.

Patient Demographics

  • Enter and track patient demographics, insurances (primary/secondary), and authorized services.

Sliding fee scales

  • Extensive sliding fee scales are available for different programs.
