Questions We’re Asked a Lot
Is it really, truly Free? – What’s the catch? – Too good to be true?
Curiously, we’re asked the same questions every day.
Why? Because for years now medical practices have been held over a barrel and forced to pay extravagant amounts for billing software, and then pay additionally for software updates, and then pay again for software support. A recent customer told us that they called their leading brand billing software because claims were being rejected at Medicaid and they were informed that phone support would cost them an additional $120/hr., which they agreed to pay. Then in the ensuing conversation they were told that nothing could be done about the claim errors until they upgraded to the current version (paying for 3 versions to catch up).
Fortunately they found our free software, tried it out, and immediately upgraded to our premium edition.

Well then, where’s the catch?
There’s no catch. We make money the old fashioned way –we earn it.
It’s too good to be true.
Ahh, but alas ’tis true. The ‘Free-mium‘ software model is actually not new at all; for years now software makers like Turbo-Tax have offered free versions of their software understanding that as people’s needs become increasingly complex they naturally upgrade to the features they require, but it was the free version that won them over.
If the software is free, how do you make money?
In addition to our Free Plan, we also offer a Premium Edition for busy practices, and an Enterprise Edition for large groups and institutions. For instance, groups and multi-provider practices tend to quickly upgrade to our multi-user editions.

- You get a fully functional medical billing software with a free clearinghouse account that allows you to submit an ample amount of commercial claims each month

What’s Not Free?
In our free version, commercial claims are free, but claims to State and Federal Payers such as Medicare, Medicaid, BCBS, Tri-care, and Railroad require an ordinary clearinghouse account. We don’t control which clearinghouse you subscribe to.
