Office Ally review

Office Ally is the cheapest way to get claims out the door. Its Service Center clearinghouse is free to start and covers claim creation, eligibility and benefits checks, claim submission with acknowledgements, claim status, attachments, ERAs and paper claims, through a web portal or SFTP for practices sending files from another system. Practice Mate adds scheduling, patient billing, configurable superbills, a patient ledger and reports, with no monthly fee. Patient statements, reminders, e-prescribing, a patient portal and digital intake are available as add-ons, and the company says more than 80,000 healthcare organizations use its software and clearinghouse. The limits show in denial work: there are no A/R worklists, rules engines or AI posting tools like those in AdvancedMD or Tebra, and transactional fees may apply depending on the service, so read the data sheet before you rely on the $0 price.
