Products for the Independent Sector

Mericle Productivity Servers (and also desktop products) offer powerful support for all administrative and billing operations in the independent sector. There is no compromise in the independence and integrity of medical records as all billing and financial functions are handled separately while being driven by billable medical, administrative or other events. Mericle is versatile in its approach to how a practice is structured because it is able to support individuals, groups of individuals, organisations and professionals doing billable work on behalf of more than one practice. The billing entity in Mericle is known as a 'Revenue Centre' and individuals are associated with one or more Revenue Centre through their Billing Rights property sheet in the staff record. This approach therefore is well suited to:

• Groups of individuals working in Chambers

• Healthcare services billing groups

• Hospitals carrying out billing activities on behalf of staff as part of medical record keeping activities

• Individuals carrying out their own administration

Industry standard procedure codes (OPCS-4 / BUPA) and billing categories are supported and Mericle will automatically cross reference between coding systems if required.
