Web browser based billing system for health care provider claims

摘要

A web browser (14) based billing system for health care provider claim submission is disclosed wherein the provider connects directly to the system of the present invention over an open network utilizing browser software. A site server (18) is provided which incorporates the databases (20) of the present invention and allows the information provided by the health care providers to be associated directly with claim information, provider, procedure, diagnosis, insured and patient data. The system of the present invention requires only a web browser (14) interface for utilization of the site services and takes the claim data for formatting and later submission to a third party claim processing clearing house or direct submission to the third party payer. The system of the present invention does not require the health care provider to support specialized software mandated and designed just for claim submission as all data and support software is supplied from the site server (18).
