Is your Medical Practice utilizing the Auto-Payment Posting option?

Payment Posting is an important part of Medical Billing Process. It aids in identifying billing errors before sending statements to patients. This process can be time consuming and is easily prone to human errors. To prevent this, Medical Practices are shifting towards Automatic Payment Posting.
