Medical Billing Companies & Consultants in Warren, MI

Genius Solutions, Inc. is a healthcare software developer based in Warren, Michigan. A group of healthcare software professionals founded it in 1986, and it has nearly four decades of experience. Buyers comparing medical billing options should know that the company is mainly a technology vendor rather than an outsourced billing service. It builds and supports the THOMAS line of practice management systems, which handle the revenue side of a practice, along with a companion electronic health record.

Software and Billing Capabilities

The product family includes dTHOMAS, eTHOMAS, and eTHOMAS Cloud, a web-based version that removes the need for on-site servers. ehrTHOMAS is the firm's EHR, and it has earned government certification four separate times. The billing tools cover electronic claims, posting of payer remittances, patient statements, online payment collection, and checking insurance coverage.

The software also handles scheduling, automated appointment reminders, inventory tracking, and electronic prescribing. A resource library supplies templates, tests, and reports tailored to each specialty. The company describes the cloud app as well suited to billing companies and to newly opened offices.

Specialties Served

Genius Solutions tailors its systems to particular kinds of practices:

• Physical and occupational therapy, served through eTHOMAS
• Podiatry, with combined practice management and EHR
• Medical practices, including behavioral health and other specialties
• Chiropractic offices
• Third-party billing firms using the cloud application

Add-On Services

Beyond the core software, the company offers several supporting services:

• e-Eligibility, which checks a patient's insurance from inside eTHOMAS and runs on Waystar
• Automated Statements, in which practices send a file and Genius prints, folds, inserts, and mails the bills
• Genius "Cloud" Hosting, which hosts eTHOMAS or ehrTHOMAS and takes care of data security, maintenance, and backups
• The Genius HL7 Interface, for sharing patient data with outside laboratories, vendors, and other applications
• ADAMS+, a tool for patient communication and scheduling
• Softcare, which provides program updates and individual technical assistance
• Supplies of paper statements, receipts, forms, and envelopes

How They Work With Clients

All design, programming, support, and training work takes place in the United States. The company says this lets it give each client personal, one-on-one attention. Prospective customers can request a demonstration or a trial before they commit. Genius also works with outside partners, including DrFirst, InstaMed, Waystar, TSI, Writepad, MAC Neuro, Way to Practice, and Chiropractic FCU.

In one published testimonial, the office manager of an osteopathic physician's practice says the EHR support staff guided the office through its move to electronic records and its Meaningful Use Stage 2 attestation.

For practices that want to run billing in-house with specialty-specific software, Genius Solutions offers a long track record and a choice of desktop or cloud setups. It also offers optional services that take statement mailing and eligibility checks off the front desk.
