My experience with iPad

This is going to be a quick post.  I just want to say that it is great developing a web application on the iPad. There is really only one web browser to develop for (Safari).  There is not Internet Explorer to worry about.  I never have to check compatibility with other web browsers.  This is the way it should be!!

Prepared for 5010

The sky is falling!!!!  This is the fear that many billing software companies are trying to instill into healthcare providers.  They are using the conversion to 5010 as a marketing ploy.  They are making a selling point out of being 5010 ready and that you better make sure your software is 5010 ready (or switch over to us).

I hate to break it to everyone.  Being 5010 ready is not complicated.  It is not a selling point.  If a specific healthcare billing software is not 5010 ready... well, come January 1, 2012 they are out of business.

Since when did a change in format warrant such a big deal.  When the 4010 addendum was released.. everyone quietly switched to the new format.  Bottom line: healthcare providers should NOT be scared into billing software based on 5010 readiness.  In the end, the healthcare provider isn't even going to notice any difference when the switch is made to 5010 (at least not with Therabill).  It is a data interchange format.  It should be left for us geeks to worry about... behind the scenes.  Leave the healthcare providers out of it.. they have enough on their plates.

Therabill on the iPad

I can't wait for this new feature to roll out.  We are developing a web application of Therabill designed specifically for the iPad.  While the current version of Therabill does work pretty nicely in the iPad, the layout just isn't ideal.  We hope to have a limited version available within the next 2-3 weeks.  Soon after that, we will roll out the iPhone / Android version.

Therabill Member Forum

The Therabill Healthcare Billing Forum is now open for viewing to the general public.  You must be currently logged in to your Therabill in order to post to the forum.  The general public (non-Therabill members) can read the forum posts.

Therabill Calendar Syncs to Google Calendar

I have been working hard over the past 3 days getting ready to roll out a new feature for Therabill.  This new feature will allow you to sync your sessions that you have entered in your Therabill schedule to your Google Calendar.

Most calendar's on smartphones have the ability to sync with your Google Calendar.  If you set up your smartphone to sync with your Google Calendar and you set up your Therabill calendar to sync with Google Calendar, then the end result will be that if you enter a scheduled therapy session in Therabill, the session will show up in your calendar on your smartphone.

Pretty nifty.

The CMS-1500

Therabill has started to post a tutorial on how to fill out the CMS-1500.  It is still under development, we are adding how-to posts in the same order as they appear on the CMS-1500.

Video Demonstrations

Therabill is expanding its documentation to video.  We understand that many people would rather watch and listen than read a users manual.  I am actually one of those people.  We are starting with video demonstrations of commonly asked questions.  We will keep expanding.  We thrive to have every member experience all that Therabill has to offer.  Insurance billing should not be difficult, Therabill has a reputation of making it easy.. we hope the video demonstrations make it even easier.

Go and take a look at our video demonstrations.  These videos are informal and unscripted, so please excuse my mistakes.  They will get better as I become more comfortable with it.

Here is an example of a video demonstration showcasing how to navigate the Therabill Calendar which is used for enter therapy sessions.
