Medical Billing and Statements

Electronic bill presentment allows documents to be available online for access by your administrators and customers, thus eliminating the cost of paper and stamps.

Why use Electronic Bill Payment?

When you sign up for paperless billing through the internet, the number of paper bills that come through your mailbox is obviously greatly reduced. Instead, you’ll either get a statement through email or an email notifying you that your statement is available on the company’s website. Companies will also provide archived statements for a certain number of months.

It’s a good idea to keep a copy of each statement on your computer in addition to the archived bill on the website. The bill can be stored on an email account or a printed copy can be saved.

A big advantage to electronic bills is automatic bill payment. If you don’t mind providing your bank or credit card information, you can set your bills to automatically be paid at the same time every month. This way you’ll never miss a payment, no matter how busy the month!

What do Electronic Bills Look Like?

Electronic bills that come to your email provide the same information as the paper bills that come to your mailbox. They are designed to make you aware of how much you have to pay for whatever items of services you purchased. Some bills, like your credit card bill include a total owed and an itemized list to let you know where your money was spent. Many also include how much you paid on your last statement.

Just like paper statements, you may have the options to pay part of the bill and be charged interest as you pay the remainder off month by month.

Overall, electronic bills help lower company’s costs since they don’t require printing or stamps to mail. They offer a significant advantage to the bill-payer too because they don’t clutter up his home with extra papers, and don’t require writing and mailing in a check.
