Patient Billing
One of the biggest benefits of direct primary care is the fact that it removes episodic, transactional billing and provides a more fluid, easy-to-administer monthly fee.
Several vendors can assist in the monthly billing process. The ones that can cater to the DPC marketplace are:
- AtlasMDĀ (EHR)
- Hint Health
- Twin Oaks
- CerboĀ (previously MD-HQ) (EHR)
- Square
- And many moreā¦
Beyond the monthly billing, other items require billing your patient. A far-from-comprehensive list may include:
- Labs*
- Imaging*
- Medications (seeĀ DPC Frontier for state-by-state regulations)
- Pathology* (seeĀ DPC Frontier for state-by-state regulations)
- Durable medical equipment
- Medical supplies (i.e. stitches, casting, etc.)
- Enrollment fees, after-hours visit charges, etc.
*There is a concept, called āclient billingā where a vendor bills you, the practice, and you pass the charge on to the patient. Many vendors use this setup to offer your practice -- and subsequently, your patients -- below-list-price prices. Other vendors offer direct, patient billing. There are pluses and minuses to each setup.
