Stop Wasting Time with Inefficient Billing at Your Addiction Treatment Center: Introducing Behave Health's New Billing Assistant
Without billing, your addiction treatment center doesn’t get paid.
Does it get any more important than that?
Though we can all agree that billing is the lifeblood of the addiction treatment community, too many addiction treatment centers are struggling with outdated billing systems and inefficient billing departments.
At Behave Health, we are proud of the integrated billing software we’ve bundled with our all-in-one software solution for addiction treatment centers. Our unique billing tools have saved a lot of companies in the addiction treatment space time, money and sanity when it comes to revenue cycle management.
But like many of our addiction treatment center users, we’re not happy with “good enough.” For our Summer 2020 update, we decided to take something that was already clicking for our customers - the RCM component of our software solution - and make it even better.
Read on to learn about the awesome new features we’ve added to our Billing Assistant for 2020 and how they can help save your business time and money.
Our New Services Book Put an End to Time Consuming Addiction Treatment Bill Generation
If you are tired of manually entering each individual service and details about that service, like the date, price and billing cycle information, then you’ll love our new Services Book.
With our Services Book, you create a pre-made selection of services that you offer at your addiction treatment center. You pre-set the details, such as the description, the price and the billing frequency (daily, weekly, monthly, bi-monthly, etc). Once you’ve entered that information, you never have to enter it again. The hard part is done.
When you’re ready to create a bill, simply select the service from the Services Book and your bill is automatically generated!
Kiss Inefficiency Goodbye with Automated Repeating Charges for Addiction Treatment Patients
Let our Billing Assistant keep track of when to create new bills. Our new automated repeating charges feature means you’ll never be late in billing for a repeating charge again.
Simply choose the frequency of the repeating charge and we’ll take care of the rest.
Quickly and Easily Accept Payment from Multiple Payers for Addiction Treatment Bills
Addiction treatment patients frequently split their bills with loved ones - sometimes many loved ones. It’s a wonderful thing to see patients get the support they need through their treatment, but for addiction treatment billing departments, it’s a paperwork nightmare. Most systems just aren’t set up to easily process multiple payments for a single bill.
We heard about this problem from our addiction treatment center users and we listened. Our new Summer 2020 update makes it a snap to accept payment - no matter how many people want to help. No workarounds or “special tricks” necessary. This basic functionality is built right into the billing assistant.
Let Addiction Treatment Patients Pay Using the Payment Method That’s Easiest for Them
It’s 2020. Your addiction treatment patients probably aren’t toting around a checkbook anymore. Your younger patients, in particular, might not even be using plastic anymore - they’re making payments through bill pay apps like Venmo and Cashapp. So, are you ready to meet them where they’re at and make it easier for them to pay their bills?
Behave Health’s Summer 2020 Billing Assistant update can help you get there.
