Your Patients Can Pay Their Medical Bills Online!

If you have visited the site recently you may have noticed the big yellow box on the top of a few pages that reads “Online Bill Pay Now Available”.

Today opens an exciting era for us at Custom Data Services, we have expanded our service to provide an advanced payment option that creates new revenue streams and enhances how your patient’s can pay their bills. The introduction of online bill pay is intended to benefit our clients, to benefit their patients, and to benefit us.

How Will Online Bill Payment Benefit You?

The more payment options the merrier. The end result of a successful claim is reimbursement for services, and the more payment options you have available to your patients the more likely you are to be reimbursed.

For years billing companies have been forced to keep long hours that are very costly because only accepting payments during normal business hours just doesn’t make sense. If your patients are at work, how are they going to be making payments? They can’t do it over the phone or in person, so their only option is through standard post which will also only be received between 9 and 5.

The introduction of online bill pay gives your patients the availability to make a payment whenever they want wherever they want. Now you can collect 24 – 7 – 365. Exciting isn’t it?

If you are interested in how are online bill pay system works and would like to enhance your practice be sure to contact us through our request for bid form. We would be delighted to work with you.

Most importantly I can’t forget the link to the bill pay site. Pay Your Medical Bills Online!

Welcome To Custom Data Services, Inc’s New Website

Friday, October 16th, 2009

Welcome to our new website.

My name is Adam Mlynarcik, the assistant supervisor for computer operations here at CDS , and your virtual tour guide to our site.  Without getting into all of the grizzly details I would like to let you know a little bit about who we are and what we do.

Who are we?

In 1973 Custom Data Services, Inc. was formed by a group of certified public accountants that were looking to use their knowledge in accounting to create an effective billing system and practice management company to service local physicians. For over 35 years we have  provided medical management and physician services to hospital based and private practice physicians in NW Indiana.

The strength of our company is located within our proprietary medical billing software and dedicated staff that allow us to create a professional and custom service that can be tailored to fit the needs of most any medical specialty.

I hope that the recent renovations to our website are a sign of our commitment to excellence in better serving our clients and community.

What is new about cdsindiana.com?

We recently completed an overhaul of our website with the intent our expanding our online presence and the services the we have available.  This is a process we have done 3 times before, each time adding new technology.  View the most recent site iteration here.

Design

As you can see from following the link our first change was a complete redesign. Our website color scheme, content, and layout have been edited to make the site brighter, more user friendly, and in our opinion more attractive to the eye.

Content

Our next focus was content and as “they” say content is king so it is a pretty important focal point. We rewrote our service pages, frequently asked questions, contact pages, and started this blog so no we can easily add new content and communicate more  with you.

Community

Our success has been built on building a strong community with our clients and their patients. So with that in mind we have taken to the web’s social networking sites to help build a bigger and stronger community. Join our fan page on Facebook or Follow us on Twitter to discuss market trends, news, and questions you may have about our field.

Services

The best way to better serve our clients to is improve our services. We have added our URL to our patient statements to bring awareness to patients that they can receive help online, and aren’t restricted to entering our brick and mortar office or calling on the phone.

There is much more to come!

This is just the beginning for our website. We are working on implementing an online payment and reporting system that could immensely benefit patients and physicians by creating new convenient methods of payment and practice monitoring.

Thank you for coming by and reading about our progress. Leave a comment below to tell me what you think about our website. And I hope to see you again here, on facebook, or twitter.

A full company history can be found at our about page in the menu at the top of your screen where you will also find links to our services and patient support pages that will explain in detail the information I touched on in this article.
