The Medigent Dental module is CDAnet compliant.

Medical Transportation

Pre-authorize and track the cost of client medical transportation:

  • Encapsulate travel expenses – from a patient's departure to return
  • Automate your information capture process with electronic loading from third-party systems
  • Track a range of transportation types, including scheduled air, ferries, medivac, and ambulance services
  • Link vendor invoices to pre-authorizations for record keeping, and to flag unauthorized travel
  • Record various transaction types including payments and credits
  • Integrate travel expenses with your financial systems

Reciprocal Billing

Within the Medical module, Medigent currently manages reciprocal billing for seven Canadian jurisdictions. It handles all claims adjudication and payment processes associated with the Medicare reciprocal program, where programs and adjudication rules vary according to the policies of each jurisdiction.

Medigent’s reciprocal billing capabilities allow you to manage the complete lifecycle of claims associated with inter-jurisdictional reciprocal agreements. Its main features include:

  • invoice management
  • claims activity processing (add, cancel, reverse)
  • management of adjustment requests and recoveries
  • payment processing

These capabilities support processing for the following claim types:

  • in-province provider for out-of-province beneficiary
  • in-province hospital for out-of-province beneficiary
  • out-of-province provider for in-province beneficiary
  • out of-province hospital for in-province beneficiary

These capabilities can also be leveraged for processing invoices associated with non-reciprocal reimbursements such as out-of-country claims from residents.
