Electronic Billing with SimpleIsUs

Electronic Billing Advantages

Electronic Billing is only one of the great features of SimpleIsUs software. But for most early intervention providers of direct services or agencies, it could be the most important one. With electronic bill submission, you can receive payment within 7 days. It not only reduces reimbursement time, it virtually reduces your billing tasks to minutes, regardless of the number of clients. Electronic billing (also called Electronic Data Interchange or “EDI”) also eliminates costs associated with paper claims, such as CMS-1500 forms, printing ink, envelopes, and postage.

Using a Clearinghouses for Electronic Billing

When using SimpleIsUs, you will submit your electronic claims through a clearinghouse. Using a clearinghouse relieves you of extensive testing and excessive time to start billing electronically. The clearinghouse assumes the responsibility to test your electronic billing claims with the payor (i.e. Medicaid). FreeClaims is our clearinghouse and we have conducted all upfront programming and testing with them and the payors. SimpleIsUs makes your transition to electronic billing seamless. From the time you upload your first batched claims (test batch to FreeClaims), to the time your claims go into production (submitted electronically to the payor) can be less than an hour but rarely more than 24 hours. After the initial submission (test), all subsequent electronic submissions to FreeClaims, and on to the payor, happen instantaneously.

You can get a weekly electronic remittance advice (ERA) on line at the FreeClaims site to keep you posted on your reimbursements. When you submit billing electronically, and a claim is denied, you will know immediately via the ERA. There is no hassle, no waiting, no further delays for payment. You simply pull up the claim on the FreeClaims site, correct it on line, and resubmit it back to the payor. Or, if you notice an error at the initial time of submission, you can correct the claim and send it on its way.

Complete EDI forms and get approved to submit Billing Electronically

Before you can submit billing electronically, you must complete EDI forms and be approved. All forms and instruction for completing the forms are on the Member’s site and are available to print out once you become a member of SimpleIsUs. However, if you wish to start your paper work for electronic billing before you subscribe to SimpleIsUs and become a member, email us at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it and request information for electronic billing. The forms and instructions will be sent to your email address. It normally takes 4-5 weeks for you to be approved to submit billing electronically.

HIPAA Compliant

Whether you are an independent provider, agency provider or an agency, SimpleIsUs ensures that your client information and billing claims are secure and HIPAA compliant. As an independent provider, you submit your billing directly to FreeClaims. As an Agency, your providers upload their billing to our secure web site. From the secure site, you (the agency) will download each provider’s billing to your computer, batch the claims together, and then submit all the providers billing electronically to FreeClaims. SimpleIsUs eliminates all paper work associated with billing while maintaining HIPAA compliance.

Private Practice and Early Intervention Services

If you are an Agency that does both Private Practice and Early Intervention services, we can arrange an electronic billing solution to handle both practices. This arrangement could greatly reduce the cost of billing for your Early Intervention services over contracting all of your billing out to a billing agent. You will have one contract for both services with a billing solutions group. They bill your Private Practices at their normal contract fee/rate and bill your Early Intervention Practice for only the subscription fees to SimpleIsUs and the Agency Management Tool. It is an innovative approach that we have created with a billing solution group to save you money. Both Private and Early Intervention billing can be submitted electronically.

Computer Savvy is not a Requirement

Don’t let your lack of computer skills keep you from subscribing to SimpleIsUs software and submitting your billing electronically. You do not have to be computer savvy to use SimpleIsUs. But if you need help, there is always a knowledgeable representative available to answer your questions or assist you with any transactions, including electronic billing.

SimpleIsUs and the provider's Work Flow

We understand your allied healthcare profession and we understand your busy work day. SimpleIsUs software was developed to follow and conform to your work flow and yet be flexible. You provide services, you document treatment while at the natural environment, and you bill at a later time. SimpleIsUs goes with you into the home where you document your treatment, which creates your daily session notes/service provider contact note. At this point it captures and stores all billing information for the visit. And then, when you are ready to bill, (today, next day, next week, or next month) you are just a couple clicks away from submitting your billing electronically. There is no paper work or CMS-1500 form to deal with, no calendar needed to track and count visits/missed visits or units, and no additional entries in the software needed to bill. SimpleIsUs has stored all your information for billing. Just simply point, click and look for the payment next week.

Turn up your cash flow with electronic claim submission using SimpleIsUs and enjoy the amount of time and paper work you save.
