Practice Management Software Solution
Medisoft® Patient Accounting
Medisoft® Patient Accounting is a proven, trusted and affordable practice management solution designed to simplify and streamline the way you run your practice. This powerful and affordable productivity system seamlessly and automatically manages scheduling, billing, reporting and revenue management for small physician practices. With the latest version, Medisoft Version 20, the PM system now contains ICD-10 functionality and is Windows 10 compatible.
Medisoft® Patient Accounting also is designed to make your practice run more efficiently in the storage and retrieval of patient data and referral tracking. It lets you quickly create multiple reports for practice management and aids in developing a sound financial ground while still maintaining the primary focus of rendering quality health care services. It gives you a maximum amount of data with a minimum of effort. Medisoft is the smart choice for your practice and patients.
One of the main features of MediSoft is the true Open Item Accounting. Transactions entered stay on the active ledger until they are specifically paid. There is no clearing of the ledger and bringing up a total to start the new month, as in balance forward accounting. Part of that is because there is line entry capability, meaning you can enter payment transactions to a specific procedure on that ledger, leaving the unpaid procedures for future accounting.

Additional Outstanding Medisoft Basic Features:
HIPPA Security
- Audit entries cannot be purged from the program. This is in compliance with HIPAA regulations.
- Chart number, billing numbers, and other protected health information (PHI) can be included in the Data Audit Report. You have some control over which tables or functions you want included through the Audit Generator, a new way to prepare the Data Audit Report. However, some PHI information will be included regardless of the fields/tables you want to include or exclude.
- You can be logged in to one dataset on only one computer at a time. If you are logged in on one computer and try to log in on another (into the same dataset), a message pops up. You have to log out of the first computer before you can log in on another computer.
- Establish requirements for valid login and password access to the program through Login/Password Management.
- Add an expiration date to user login settings.
- Print a report that tracks all user login and logout attempts.
- Apply a security question to a user’s security setup to help verify the user when he or she cannot remember the password.
- Data dictionaries have been implemented, in compliance with new HIPAA regulations, to provide greater control over program security. If you have any questions concerning this, call WTS at (417) 890-6777.
- Advantage Database protection has been implemented. This means any third-party software must be pre-approved by Per Se before it can access the database. Contact WTS sales for information. Call (417) 890-6777.
Staff Productivity
- Add a claim number field to the display in Transaction Entry. You can then change the status of the claim in the Charges grid.
- Case-based transaction entry
One of the primary advantages to this kind of setup is that you have to enter patient information only once. It is accessed and applied each time a new case is set up. When a patient comes in for treatment of an ailment or condition, say stress fracture, set up a case, and all transactions for treatment of the fracture are entered within that case. If the same patient gets the flu, set up a new case and enter all transactions for treatments rendered for the flu ailment in the new case.A second advantage involves insurance coverage. Because insurance coverage can, and frequently does, change, this information has been attached to the case file instead of the patient file. If insurance coverage changes in the middle of treating a particular ailment, set up another case for the same ailment with the new insurance information. If the previous carrier has not completed its obligations to the patient, MediSoft keeps that information intact to facilitate billing.
- Claim Management
Claim management is the final transmission area for all claims. You are presented with three choices: edit or make corrections to existing claims; create batches or groups of claims; or submit claims either on paper or electronically. The Claim Management window displays a list of claims and their statuses. Using the CTRL or SHIFT keys, you can select multiple claims for printing or reprinting.
- You can set account alerts that appear in the Transaction Entry and Appointment windows that tell you when a patient has a certain remainder balance.
- You can select a superbill number in Transaction Entry and pull up the transaction information by that number.
- You can view all future appointments for a patient.
Electronic Data Interchange (EDI)
There are three (3) options for sending claims electronically:
- Save claims to a file in the image of the HCFA-1500 claim form, then use GatewayEDI or other clearinghouse to submit the claims. Internet connectivity is required for this option. GatewayEDI is the preferred method to send EDI. Call us to enroll.
- Purchase a MediSoft Direct Claims Module to send claims directly to your Medicare receiver. In some states, this allows you send claims other than Medicare as well. A modem and phone line are required for this option. Entity Type fields are in the Patient/Guarantor , Provider , and EDI Receiver windows to facilitate the sending of electronic claims. In addition, the following fields are in the EDI Receiver window: Address tab–E-Mail and Web Address; Modem tab–FTP Address and FTP Port Number; ID and Extra tab–File Path and File Name, as well as a Group Practice check box.
- You can send all claims through Per Se Electronic Claims Processing. Call us to enroll. A modem and phone line is required for this option.
Electronic Statements
There are two (2) options for sending electronic statements.

GatewayEDI is the preferred method to send electronic statements. This option requires enrollment. Call us for information and to sign up.
- Send your statements electronically through MedPrint. It requires enrollment. Call us for information and to sign up. A modem and phone line are required for this option.
Reports
- Many reports now give you options concerning records that don’t have a facility. By default, reports that include this information pay no attention to the facility, but include all records, regardless of the facility setting. To print only non-facility records in a report, click the Show only records with a blank facility box in the Data Selection Questions window. To print only records that include facilities, use the Transaction Facility Range. These options are available with the following reports: Day Sheets, Practice Analysis, Insurance Aging, and Insurance Aging Summaries.

Archiving
Archiving provides a simple method for improving system performance and avoiding undue HIPAA compliance issues. Records can be archived instead of deleted, which increases system performance and lets the practice still access the records if necessary. This feature provides users a method to archive or, if necessary, restore archived records for items tied to that patient including cases, claims, statements, and appointments.
The archiving feature allows users with the appropriate permission level to archive and restore cases to the database. The archiving process is implemented via a series of dialog boxes that lead users through the process of either archiving data, restoring data, or printing log or error reports on archived and restored records. Users can also print the archive data in reports.
Note: the advantage of archiving patients’ cases is that patients remain in the system without the risk of deleting records to save space.
Multimedia
The Multimedia tab in the Case window lets you add bitmaps, videos, and sound to your patient records.
Configure Custom Menus
