Medical and health insurance professionals are always seeking better ways to serve their patients and clients. Health insurance software is key to this process because it simplifies insurance claims and other business issues, freeing up resources that can then be devoted to improving client relations and developing products and services to better meet these clients' needs.

There's medical software for every aspect of running a health-related business, from basic record keeping to digital imaging to marketing functions.

You can find different health insurance software products to improve nearly every aspect of your business. You can:
  1. Speed up the claims process with health insurance claim software.
  2. Reduce billing and insurance errors with medical billing software.
  3. Increase patient satisfaction while you improve productivity and efficiency with a wide range of specialized medical software.

Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Use health insurance agency software to offer prospective customers free quotes


People like to shop around when it comes to health insurance. By incorporating health insurance quoting software into your website, you give them a reason to come to your site, and you get the opportunity to showcase your services to them while they're there.

I recommend: SureHealth 2001, from Sure Health Software Systems, is designed for small business insurance providers. It only makes it easy for prospective customers to obtain a free quote, it also stores their information for future reference.

Decide between a remote or on-site medical software provider


On-site medical insurance software gives you more control over the system; however, it can also be more expensive and complicated to implement. When you run the software on your own computers, you take the chance of a system crash and the potential loss of data. However, some vendors of health insurance software also handle installation and maintenance. With a remote system, the software is installed on the vendor's computers, and you access it via the Internet. Remote systems have an advantage in that they're maintained by a dedicated team of IT professionals, but also require a continuous Internet connection, which could be interrupted for any number of technical reasons.

I recommend: Plexis Claims Manager automates your medical, dental and vision claims processing, and you can easily access it from any computer with an Internet connection. United Systems and Software Inc. provides on-site software packages for managing group health insurance plans.

Choose a provider that offers comprehensive support


Your health insurance agency software will likely be an important component of your company's management, so if you have questions or concerns, you'll want assistance you can count on, whenever you need it.

I recommend: Semci Partner from S.I.S. offers dedicated support, including a two-hour call back guarantee. Code Correct features KnowledgeAssist, which includes a toll-free support hotline, a question and answer database, and the ability to post coding or billing questions for individualized responses from credentialed coding experts.

Tips & Tactics
Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide

  • When you choose electronic medical record software, make sure it's HIPAA compliant. HIPAA, or the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, established new standards about the handling of electronically stored and transmitted patient data, and it's critical that your healthcare software is compatible with HIPAA practices. Newer programs should be.
