Health Center Billing & A/R

The Health Center Billing & A/R module accommodates all billings for multiple levels of care, regardless of pay source. Designed to automate the billing of all room, care, and ancillary fees (regardless of type) with a minimum of operator effort, this module works well for any type of long-term care facility. A flexible reporting system provides the "I have to have it now" type of receivable reports that are effective in the collection effort. This is a core module.
