CONCEPT:
     This product is designed to allow anyone handling medical
     billing for either a solo or group practice to enter patient
     visits as invoices into the system.  When an invoice has
     been placed in a status of Released, and a Processing
     Batch is created, that invoice will be processed by the
     created batch.

     Providers may submit primary insurance claims for their
     patients direct to insurance carriers via asynchronous
     modem using the Health Care Financing Administration's
     National Standard Format electronic claims format, the
     HCFA-1500 universal claim form, or indirectly through the
     claims clearing house of your choice.

     Payments, adjustments, and insurance remittances may be
     entered into the system.  Processing can examine invoices
     that have been remitted or where payment has been made.

     Insurance claims will be processed in order with any balance
     due being processed as an invoice.  Processing to secondaries
     and balance due invoices will not be processed until prior
     claims are reconciled.

TYPICAL APPLICATION
  As patients visits are completed, invoices are entered
  into the system.  If additional information is needed for
  the patients account, claims can be retained and held in
  a NEW status.  Complete invoices are RELEASED by the user
  to be picked up and processed the next time a Processing
  Batch is created.  Processing determines quality and
  direction for the invoice.  As invoices are paid off
  and/or their submission to insurance carriers are
  reconciled, processing reviews the status of the invoices
  and will take action if required.  Insurance forms may be
  printed or transmitted on a carrier by carrier basis by
  batch.  Self pay and patient balances due are handled with
  insurance claims on a batch by batch process.  We suggest
  that a typical office should process on a weekly basis.
