End-to-End Medical Billing Software for Private Practices

When different procedures and protocols connect to form a network, we call this synergy a system. In the medical billing domain, there are three types of health information systems:
Closed medical billing system: As the name suggests, in this type, patient information is restricted from being shared outside a single healthcare entity, such as a clinic or hospital. The data is typically stored in Electronic Medical Records (EMRs), which are digital versions of paper health records and are primarily used within a single provider’s practice. This system does not support interoperability with external healthcare entities like labs, pharmacies, or other providers.
Open medical billing system: This system takes a more collaborative approach, allowing the exchange of health information across multiple entities, including labs, pharmacies, primary and urgent care, and other healthcare providers. Here, patient data is stored in Electronic Health Records (EHRs), which are designed for interoperability and can be integrated with tools like Revenue Cycle Management (RCM), Practice Management Systems (PMS), and Patient Portals. This system ensures accessibility for authorized users while adhering to regulatory guidelines like HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act).
Isolated health information system: In this type, the data is managed independently by patients rather than by healthcare providers. Patients maintain their own Personal Health Records (PHRs) in a separate tool, distinct from EMRs or EHRs. PHRs are controlled by the individual and may not necessarily integrate with clinical systems used by healthcare providers.
