Summit-Edge is cutting-edge technology. It is a significant leap forward. It is loaded with powerful features...not seen before. Following are the features we feel are most important.

High-Impact

These features will have great impact on your practice. They are "difference-makers" that will save huge amounts of time...or make the billing process much more effective. Theses features should be carefully evaluated.

Auto-posting of family payments: Family payments automatically post to the "right" account...and to the "right" service date. The user does not have to spend time "applying" payments...and transferring credits around.

Smart Hcfas: This allows you to setup billing rules for each insurance company...so that users don't have to deal with it on a daily basis. The software knows what to bill...when to bill...and how to bill. This means that novice users can bill as effectively as an insurance-billing specialist.

Batch entry of insurance checks: When an insurance check is processed, the check information is entered first...followed by all the client detail from the E.O.B...so that the payment detail adds up to the insurance check total. This enables the cash receipt report to be quickly reconciled to the bank deposit.

Easy-read statements: Two key reports...the "Client Statement" and "What Insurance Paid and Why" gives families an immediate understanding of their account. Missing from the reports are transfers and adjustments that baffle families. The result is fewer billing questions.

Sharing of family data: Family members share a lot of data...addresses, insurance policies, responsible parties, and so on. This data is only entered once for a family...saving data-entry time, while simplifying changes to that data.

Claims authorization system: The authorization system is very simple...you just enter the authorization and the software does the rest. There is no tedious tagging of authorizations to sessions. The authorization reports keeps therapists informed of the status of the authorizations.

Important details

Individually, these features are not "high impact". Considered as a whole, however, they have a significant impact on the overall usability of the software. They are the features that once accustomed to, you can't live without.

Comprehensive and Integrated: Summit-Edge a complete practice-management system. You can use the system for insurance and family billing, tracking of receivables, managing payouts to therapists and marketing.

User-friendly interface: Summit-Edge has a unique interface...designed to shorten the learning curve...and improve staff productivity.

Family collection system: If families are not paying, you can easily send special warning letters...and track the status of these accounts.

Rich management reports: Reports have been carefully designed to give management great insight into the practice...where referrals are coming from...average sessions per client, and so on.

Alert system: The "Insurance Processed" and "Insurance Needs" reports keeps everyone alerted to what is going on with a client's insurance. If there is a deductible problem, denial or other adverse event, the alert system gets the word out quickly. There is no need to copy and distribute E.O.B.'s.

Special medicaid reports: Medicaid often has special procedures that must be carefully followed. Special reports are available to assure compliance with these procedures.
