Introducing the Inpatient Bill Value Report: A Comprehensive Solution 

Managing copayments can often be a time-consuming and error-prone task in healthcare settings, especially when it comes to insurance-covered products. Insurance companies often have specific coverage amounts for individual products, and tracking and calculating copayments manually can slow down the pharmacy process.

MocDoc has introduced a game-changing feature designed to streamline this process: Auto-Calculation of Copayment Amounts in the pharmacy billing screen. Here’s how it works and how it helps address common challenges faced by healthcare providers.

In a typical pharmacy billing process, when a patient purchases medications, insurance companies may cover a portion of the product price. The patient is then required to pay the remaining balance, known as the copayment. Traditionally, calculating this copayment can be tedious, as the pharmacy staff must manually verify the coverage and subtract it from the total price.

With MocDoc’s new feature, this process is automated. The system will automatically calculate the copayment amount for the patient based on the insurance coverage plan, reducing manual errors and improving efficiency.

At the core of this feature is the Product Coverage Master, which allows hospitals to define specific coverage plans for each insurance provider.

Each coverage plan can be tailored for individual products, specifying the exact amount covered by the insurance company for that product.

Create Coverage Plans: Hospitals can create customized coverage plans for each insurance provider they work with.

Map Products: In each plan, the hospital can define the covered price for every individual product the insurance provider covers.

Link Insurance Providers: The coverage plans are mapped to their respective insurance providers, ensuring accuracy and consistency in billing.

Once a coverage plan is created and linked, the magic happens during the pharmacy billing process. When a pharmacy sale is generated for a patient, the system automatically calculates the copayment amount based on the coverage plan mapped to the patient’s insurance provider.

This means that when the pharmacist processes the sale, the covered amount (paid by the insurance provider) is automatically deducted from the total price, and the patient is only required to pay the copayment amount.

Instant Copayment Calculation: The pharmacist doesn’t need to manually calculate the copayment, reducing errors and improving efficiency.

Seamless Payment Collection: With the copayment amount displayed clearly, the pharmacist can instantly collect the copayment from the patient, improving cash flow and reducing delays.

Increased Accuracy and Efficiency: The auto-calculation feature eliminates the risk of human error that can occur when manually calculating copayments. 

Less Paperwork: No need for manual calculations or paperwork to track copayments.

Faster Service: Faster billing and payment collection, reducing patient wait times and increasing overall pharmacy throughput.

Reduced Errors: Automated calculations ensure that errors in copayment amounts are minimized, improving patient satisfaction and reducing disputes.

The auto-calculation of copayments not only makes the process easier for pharmacy staff but also enhances transparency for both patients and insurance providers.

Patients: They will clearly see how much of the product cost is covered by the insurance and how much they need to pay upfront, leading to fewer misunderstandings.

Insurance Providers: Insurance companies will benefit from accurate copayment collection and transparent billing, ensuring that both parties are on the same page regarding coverage amounts.

This feature simplifies and streamlines the payment collection process for both the pharmacy and the patient, reducing friction and improving overall operational efficiency. MocDoc’s commitment to improving healthcare operations means that solutions like the copayment auto-calculation feature help healthcare providers save time, reduce errors, and provide better service to their patients.

Whether you’re dealing with a small or large volume of pharmacy sales, MocDoc’s new feature ensures that your pharmacy billing process is as smooth and accurate as possible.

At MocDoc, we’re always striving to make healthcare operations more efficient and user-friendly. With the auto-calculation of copayments, we’re taking one step closer to a future where technology enhances every aspect of healthcare.

Managing hospital expenses efficiently is critical for financial transparency and control. While expenses such as consultant’s salary, Purchase Goods, Staff Wellfare or miscellaneous costs are easily recorded, tracking costs directly associated with individual patients can often become a challenge.

At MocDoc, we’ve identified this gap and introduced an enhanced Expense Tracking feature in our Manage Expense Screen to simplify this process. Here's how it works and how it benefits your organization.

In the Type dropdown on the Manage Expense screen, users could previously select various categories like Consultant charges, Supplier charges, or Miscellaneous charges to document expenses. Now, we’ve added a new option: Patient.

Upon selecting "Patient" in the Type dropdown:

Why This Matters 

This feature goes beyond simple expense categorization and provides a structured approach to track costs incurred for specific patients, such as:

Track Patient-Linked Expenses with MIS Reporting 

To complement the new feature, we’ve also introduced a dedicated report called Expense of the Patient in the MIS module. This report provides:

This reporting capability enables better financial planning, control, and clarity for healthcare institutions.
