Tools for your practice accounts

What you can do in the browser

The doctor browser includes selected quotation and reporting tools. Use the installed Medistat software to finalise account entries, record payments and make financial adjustments where required. Browser access does not replace every billing workflow.

Claims acceptance, payment and provider connectivity are separate outcomes. Review returned claim statuses; access to a feature does not guarantee a claim will be accepted or paid.

Billing terms, explained

Medical-aid claim
A request sent to a medical scheme for payment. Sending a claim does not mean it has been accepted or paid.
Electronic remittance advice (ERA)
An electronic payment breakdown from a medical scheme. It helps practice staff check how an account was processed.
Reconcile an account
Compare the account entries with payments and returned information, then investigate differences.

  2. Send through your claims provider

    Claims workflows depend on the installed release and connected provider.

  3. Check the result
