A new approach to insured billing that not only works, but works well.
We started using Effra at the beginning of August, and the improvement to our insured billing processes and cashflow has been amazing. Two aspects of the migration have really stood out:
1. The communications leading up to the changeover, with clear, step-by-step instructions, and excellent technical support and documentation, made the implementation quick and seamless - we pushed the button on Friday, and on Monday everything was in place and working smoothly.
2. Really intelligent process design, including automation of the key billing steps, has largely eliminated the billing errors that historically caused long delays and extra admin. This translates into a significant reduction in the amount of time spent on managing our insured billing.
A good example of this is the design of the main invoice screen which displays the key details of each invoice, and it's status from submission to decision in real-time, with a complete log of all events, communications and decisions attached to each invoice.
This approach has set a new standard of transparency and means effort can be focussed precisely on the small number of transactions that require attention, while the bulk of the billing is processed through to remittance automatically without the need for any intervention. The system even matches remittances with bank deposits and automatically transfers and collects shortfalls and excess payments from clients where these are payable. For a growing, independent clinic, this is a gamechanger.
We were nervous about moving away from our existing billing service, but now I wish we could have made the change sooner - Effra makes the previous service look like a dinosaur.
