First, hello, I'm new to the forum, and I'm new to the product. I'm in the process of evaluating for myself the various products out there for managing medical stuff as I am hoping to make myself a refugee from the long-lasted but unsupported Quicken Medical Expense Manager (QMEM)
Since I've been using QMEM exclusive for managing and tracking medical expenses, that's really all I'm looking for in a replacement ... I'm not all that much interested in the health records and other things that HealthFrame provides ... but I might get interested in that later.
So specifics, that I don't see so far.
1) I don't always get an encounter sheet from my provider(s), and hospitals/ERs/clinics are notoriously bad for that. So frequently my first indication of the specifics of any claim are when I receive the EOB. Is there a way in HF to input EOB information w/o having an associated encounter sheet?
2) for those times when I do have an encounter sheet, I would enter the information from that into the program, usually with a current status of pending insurance. I don't see how HF handles that ... there's nothing I can see in the basic "Visit" record for entering this sort of thing
3) I try to compare the procedures (IPT codes) that the provider sends to the insurer against the procedures that the insurer pays for. Ideally there would be a one-for-one relationship ... doesn't always happen. I don't see a way to enter multiple line items for one encounter... is that something that I'm just not seeing, or that not part of HF's design?
I know I can/could put together a spreadsheet for this stuff but I'm too lazy (seriously), and it would be worth the $$ for me if there were something that were off the shelf.
Thanks in advance, and really a very good looking product
