What Is BillFlash?

BillFlash is a processing service for electronic patient statements. When it comes to billing for telemedicine, BillFlash is hard to beat. As an electronic billing service, BillFlash can save billers money and time. Billing patients is critical for generating revenue, but it's often inefficient and time-consuming. With BillFlash, the process of billing patients becomes more efficient and effective.

Traditionally, patient statements were printed and mailed, a process that can take several hours or days. Billing statements must be reviewed, printed, folded, sorted, stuffed into envelopes, affixed with address labels, sealed and delivered — a lengthy, tedious process that occurs every month.

When mental and behavioral health therapists use BillFlash, they can enjoy a more efficient billing process.
