What comes out of a finished session
- Included
Charge capture at the encounter
Procedure and diagnosis codes, units, modifiers, place of service and rendering versus supervising provider recorded on the encounter, not reconstructed from a note a week later.
- Included
Per-session CSV export
Codes, units, modifiers, diagnosis linkage and rendering versus supervising provider, per payer configuration, in the format an outside biller asks for.
- Roadmap · v1.x
Superbill and CMS-1500 PDFs
Generated from the same charge data, and released once AMA CPT licensing is complete. Until then the per-session export carries every field the documents would contain.
- Included
Patient payments and balances
Hosted card checkout, payment allocation against charges, and a running patient balance computed rather than stored.
- Not included · v2
Direct payer submission and remittance import
Not in this version. Practices that submit their own claims electronically today should stay on their current system until this exists.
How the biller handoff works
An outside billing service depends on the quality and format of what it receives. MegAligna produces that record directly from the session that happened, with codes, units, modifiers, diagnosis linkage and the rendering-versus-supervising provider already resolved per payer.
Onboarding a billing service is therefore a conversation about column names rather than a systems project. Send them a sample export in the first week and adjust the mapping to what they ask for. Their seat costs nothing, so they can also work directly in the system if they prefer.
Billing reports
Revenue by provider and by location, payments received, patient balances and ageing, all exportable as CSV for your accounting system. There is no live two-way accounting integration.
Reports cover what the system holds: charges, patient payments and balances. Insurance remittance data stays with your biller, so payer-level collections analysis belongs in their system rather than this one.
Two guides sit underneath this. The CMS-1500 field guide walks every box on the claim form and flags the ones that cause denials; the 8-minute rule covers how timed minutes become billable units, which is where therapy practices lose money quietly. If you want to see the output rather than read about it, the superbill generator produces one now, free and without an account.
Run a test session through to a charge
14 days, no card required. Use made-up patients while you evaluate — real patient information waits until a business associate agreement is in place.
