SYSTEM AND METHOD TO SIMPLIFY MEDICAL BILLING FOR HOSPITALISTS

摘要

A method for automated medical billing includes retrieving details of one or more encounters between a patient and a medical provider from a hospital software. A user input is obtained via a user interface on a medical provider computing device, wherein the user interface enables the medical provider to initiate automated billing of the patient after each encounter. Thereafter, a geo-location of the medical provider, a micro-location of the patient in hospital, a time associated with an encounter, and an identity of the patient and the medical provider are automatically sensed, and a bed number of the patient, a current time, a geo-location, an identification number of the medical provider, and a charge associated with the encounter is sent to the billing server. Finally, a claim form is automatically filled by the billing server, based on the received information; and the filled claim form is transmitted to a payment entity.
