Philosophy
DBC's software systems have been designed according to the following guidelines:- All providers should be encouraged to replace paper billing with direct electronic submissions. While DBC still supports paper billing, including many state specific forms (Massachusetts Medicaid forms, for example), our corporate mandate is to encourage all providers who use our software to move into the world of electronic billing.
- DBC software supports the following electronic billing options: Direct to Medicare via ANSI Standard 837 Almost all carriers, including those who only accept paper claims via Emdeon (formerly known as WebMD) Direct to any carrier allowing and accepting NSF or Standard 837 direct submissions
- DBC's systems all run under Windows XP Professional. The importance of this design mandate is that DBC's software is compatible with over 200 million existing IBM compatible desktop computer systems that already run this user friendly operating system. DBC specifically avoided using UNIX and other less popular operating environments in order to provide our users with a user friendly platform that supports literally thousands of off the shelf software packages from third-party vendors all over the world.
- Clinics must be provided with a single source billing solution. DB Consultants dealers can offer a comprehensive billing, scheduling and EMR solution through our own programs or from our affiliates.
- All data is stored in industry standard dBase format files. Thus, each clinic's data can be easily imported, exported, or accessed by a vast variety of third-party software systems such as those available from Microsoft, Lotus, IBM, and others.
