SPECIALTY SPECIFIC?
QUESTION: Is the program specifically for Physical Therapy, Chiropractic or Medical?
ANSWER: Yes, MPMsoft has been customized for over a dozen specialties. We’re Billing & Scheduling software used by practically EVERY medical specialty. It's for all licensed healthcare givers who bill Medicare or commercial insurance on the CMS 1500 Form.

Some Background:
Most doctors are more familiar with EMR’s (electronic medical records); that deal with the clinical aspects of patient treatment but that can also contain billing functionality. EMR's are specialty specific and are typically much more expensive than billing programs. They normally operate on expensive network servers that require large monthly service contracts. In contrast, b
illing software programs are generally less expensive and can be a simple desktop application, and much like Cinderella; they can be highly overlooked, under appreciated, and do heavy duty work for next to nothing.

We’ve found that many practices have an expensive EMR already
(and the biller hates the way it bills), so they’re not looking for a  $10,000 end-to-end practice solution. They just want an simple and INEXPENSIVE billing solution.  Read more about this in our White Paper.

WEB BASED?
QUESTION: Is this program web-based?
ANSWER: It's a desktop application for Windows, similar to 'Quicken', but made specifically for claims and patient billing. And like any other desktop application, the program can be accessed remotely using remote login software such as "log-me-in" or PC-anywhere.

SERVER BASED?
QUESTION: What type of computer do I need?
ANSWER: MPM will run fine on a server, but it does not require one. It runs great on an ordinary AMD or Pentium IV computer or laptop with about 512 MB of memory. The program is made for Win2000, XP, and VISTA.

NET-WORKABLE?
QUESTION: Is your software fully net-workable?
ANSWER: Yes, and it’s very simple to do.

MONTHLY-FEES?
QUESTION: Are there monthly fees?
ANSWER: No. It's a one-time purchase.

ELECTRONIC BILLING
QUESTION: Does your software do electronic billing?
ANSWER: Yes, like nobody's business (simply and easily); both paper & electronic billing; both the old HCFA 1500 and the new CMS form (toggle back and forth).

WHICH CLEARINGHOUSE
QUESTION: What clearinghouse do you go through (and how much is it)?
ANSWER: MPM offers a dozen different Clearinghouses – or, if you prefer, you can go direct to Medicare or Blue Cross (most people use a Clearinghouse; but it’s your choice).

QUESTION: What is a clearinghouse?
ANSWER: Clearinghouses facilitate the transmittal of electronic claims to thousands of insurance payers. Most practices will out of necessity eventually need a clearinghouse for electronic billing as it’s infeasible for a practice to go direct to more than a one or two payers (most popular Medicare, BlueCross). MPM Billing Software creates the electronic file, then it's routed to more than 2,200 separate insurance carriers by a clearinghouse. Additionally, a clearinghouse allows a biller to manage all their claims from one location via an online control panel console (much like how online checking can organize your checking).

LOCAL SALES REPRESENTATIVES:
QUESTION: Do you have sales representatives here in our local area?
ANSWER: No, we are the makers of the software and sell it direct. We do all of our sales, training and support over the internet and by telephone using remote login software; and it’s like we’re right there in the room with you.

PRICE SO LOW!
QUESTION: Why are your prices so low?
ANSWER: Our software is reasonably priced from $800 to $8,000 depending on the size of the practice. We are the actual software developer, so when you eliminate local retail vendors, you save several thousand in markups and sales commissions; additionally, we do all our training and support (via the internet), again saving you thousands.

HOW LONG IN BUSINESS
QUESTION: How long have you been in business?
ANSWER:  +4 years. The software is in it’s fourth version and it was in development for several years. We have approximately 2200 installations and 3800 people presently using the software.

QUESTION: Where are you going to be in ten years?
ANSWER: Good question. I don’t know that there’s really an good answer. Where will General Motors be ten years from now if Toyota keeps it up. Ford Motors is a hundred year old company that’s now trading for $6 a share and Toyota could buy them outright if they wanted to. I suppose that ten years from now we would like to own medisoft.

EXISTING PATIENTS – DATA CONVERSION
QUESTION: What do we do with our 6000 existing patients in our existing medical billing software system?
ANSWER: We offer experienced data-migration from over 300 source systems, but there’s an additional expense here. Most people simply start from scratch and there’s a several month transition. If you require it, data conversion ranges from $600 to $2,200.
.
ANNUAL UPGRADES
QUESTION: How much are annual upgrades?
ANSWER: Extremely low (we keep them as low as possible). Annual software maintenance is a flat fee of $598 per year for a 5 user system. This cost is all inclusive including all updates, training, and technical support, providing you with unlimited access to one-on-one support for the entire year, which we believe is one of the best software values in the industry.

PROGRAM COST
QUESTION: How much does your software cost?
ANSWER: Under $1,000 for a single user, and under $2400 for a complete 5 user electronic medical billing system purchase. Pricing is based on the number of users and providers in the practice. See
packages and pricing
.
'USERS' & 'PROVIDERS'
QUESTION: How do you define a 'user' and a 'provider'?
ANSWER: A provider is licensed health professional (other than the referring physician) on the 1500 Form. Or it can be someone who renders health services that you want to track in the software for reporting purposes.

As an example, a solo practice (a single physician) could need to be in the software multiple times due to multiple business entities, eg. A doctor has a personal tax-ID that he is billed under, but also has a corporate tax-ID that he’s billed under, and then he has a Group that he’s billed under separately. In this example, one single doctor would take up three “provider” slots in the software.

QUESTION: How good is your support?
ANSWER: Next to the simplicity of the software, and it's low price, our support may be the single strongest reason people buy our software. People love the software. They really love our support.

COST OF OWNERSHIP
QUESTION: How does MPMsoft compare on 'cost of ownership'” over 2-3 years?

ANSWER:  
1.) Our program will save you thousands over Medisoft, Lytec, or Medical-Manager in the first 2 years alone. This savings will be experienced in:

a). Low initial cost. Low annual updates.
b.) Shorter reimbursement cycles (faster payments with electronic billing).
c.) Better reporting (more control over aging receivables).
d.) All translating to more time spent with PATIENTS, and more MONEY coming in the door.

2.) The second way MPM saves you money is by eliminating the need for an expensive “server” and network infrastructure

a. Use an ordinary PC’s on a simple network.
b. Results in an improved bottom line due to less money being spent on equipment, network administration and technical support.

3.) The third way MPM saves money is in training. MPM is a bread and butter windows application. It’s native to windows. It’s is just like QuickBooks, Quicken, or TurboTax. The program is so simple, that anyone who can use a computer can bill using our software. So savings is experienced in:

a. Fixed cost of training
b. Complete training and support is included with the purchase of the software.

COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES:

QUESTION: What would you say your competitive advantages are over Medisoft, Lytec, or Medical-Manager?

ANSWER: In summary, MPMsoft is:

a.) Extremely user friendly, intuitive and easy to learn. Easy to train office staff.

b.) Native to Windows. MPM looks and feels liked Windows. It shares same shortcuts. It's fast. You can “tab through” entire program (or use a mouse) and have multiple windows open at once. ..Get anywhere in a single click.

c.) Affordable! Other billing software is expensive compared to MPM, which offers a complete multi-user electronic billing system for under $2,400.

d.) Lowest Cost of Ownership.  Many well known billing software programs have costly mandatory upgrades meaning that if you don't upgrade, they stop working (and you may be locked out of the software altogether) In contrast, MPM's upgrades are affordable, fixed cost, and optional.

e.) Quality Support. We are the makers of the software, and all our training and support is done in house by seasoned support staff who are experienced billers. They are highly skilled and are able to help you in every billing need - insuring the highest quality support for our clients. This is in sharp contrast to many well known billing programs that charge a ton of money for often horrible support (when support can be reached at all); MPMsoft in contrast offers wonderful training and support, and it's included in the cost of the program.
