Billing Claims in Aeon Early Access - Is it right for you?

Aeon's Billing Functionality is being released in stages.  To determine if it's a good fit for you at the current stage, here are some highlights:

 1

 


 

Description

The billing feature during Aeon's Early Access enables clinics to create claims for billing through the Aeon system. Claims can be generated from an appointment, a patient's chart note, or a patient profile. A billing index page provides a comprehensive list of claims for the clinic, each containing the required information for submission to insurance.

The system integrates with Clinicaid to retrieve fee schedules and procedure schedules per province. However, the system does not handle direct claim submission to insurance. Instead, users must export claims via the "Ready for Export" tab in the billing index and manually upload them to their billing management system. Claims can be manually edited within Aeon, but the system does not track claim statuses or rejections in Early Access.

The core tasks you'll complete with Aeon's billing include:

  • Create billing claims from multiple access points: appointment calendar, chart notes, and patient profiles
  • View and manage claims through the billing index
  • Integrate with the ClinicAid API for automated fee schedule updates and procedure codes
  • Export billing claims via the "Ready for Export" tab for upload to a billing management system
  • Manually edit claims before and after export if needed

 


 

Location

There are several locations you can add and view your billing entries:
