Hi Larry,
We have used Altapoint for years. Their PM section is great in my opinion. The billing far surpasses AC, and beats Medisoft hands down.
Here's what I like:
1. Each bill is it's own bill. No "cases" like Medisoft.
2. You enter and specify each line, and info such as CLIA, POS, etc are right there to enter.
3. When entering a bulk remit, you can enter the bulk amount paid and distribute it amongst the patients and dates of service, as well as the particular service within that date. So, if just the lab did not get paid, that remains zero payment while payments for other services are entered.
4. This program keeps the insurance used with that bill. It does not forget old insurance information when patient changes insurance. How many headaches will that reduce?
Here's what I don't like.
They're taking forever to get this done. Their demo does not work, and they do not respond to email except to state that it is disabled on purpose. Why? I can't even import one claim to test it. Just dumb.
