Company

Both billing services and large practices usually use the same insurance codes, payment codes, adjustment codes, billing messages, etc. across their client practices.  We wanted MedSuite to provide this capability while only requiring the maintenance of one set of codes for the entire billing service, where possible.  Why make the billing service maintain a complete set of billing messages or payment code for each of their clients when a single set will be sufficient?  These requirements led us to define the concept of a Company.

The data for each company is maintained in a separate database.  This not only allows certain codes to be maintained and shared at the company level, but it also provides the added benefit of physically segregating and securing the data of one company (billing service) from that another, rather than simply separating the data by using a client code of some sort.
