Home Forums Discussions General Discussion Printing/Exporting Billing Information

Hello! A few questions I have about billing:

We use an outside billing company and every week one of their representatives comes to pick up our billing information. We are looking to find the best way to send this information to our biller electronically. What we are planning on doing is saving the invoices as an HTML file and forwarding that file onto our biller. We wanted to know if there was a way to export the invoice data (or the CMS 1500s) in a format that is readable/usable/printable to our biller since we tried to export the invoices and the CMS 1500s and it just ended up in a big mess in the text file.

I do know that using the Amazing Charts billing services you can just export the data automatically to their companies and they will take over from there. Is there a way to export that data but to our biller rather than the proprietary Amazing Charts billers?

Thank you for your assistance!

Kind of in reverse. There is nothing proprietary about the AC billing system. It comes out in simple text and they reformat it.

That said, you can go to pull bills by date, select your dates.
At the bottom L of the screen is generate CMS1500s. You can print these to a program like PDF redirect and it will create one multipage document with all of your forms. I just double checked it and it worked fine for me.

With PDF redirect FREE you can password protect the document (the pro does a higher level of protection) and email it to your biller.

You could try "Zipping" instead. We use a billing service that prefers to input their own data. (Not sure, why, but they're inexpensive and fast, so OK by us.) To transfer info, we print AC invoices and collections reports to html. Then "zip" that, scans of insurance cards, EOBs, payments, etc. etc. and email the one zip file. We zip them all into one file using "7-zip" (an opensource zipping program free from 7-zip.org), and use the AES256 encryption, and password protect it with a password shared with the billers. (Unless your biller uses 7-zip, be sure to set 7-zip to use the standard zip format not the 7z format.)
