MicroMD General Features

General Features MicroMD has the same typical graphical appearance present in many other Windows-based software programs. Some of these features include:

Menu bar - starting with File and continuing through to Help, these items will display a drop-down menu with available choices when you click the mouse on them.
 

Tool Bar - these are icons representing common, frequently
used areas of the billing program. These act as short cuts to speed up accessing these areas. One of the helpful features
of MicroMD is the ability of identifying the purpose of an icon
by merely passing the mouse pointer over that particular icon.
 

Task Bar - this is the vertical bar with changing icons
representing specific functions depending on the area of the program the operator is currently using.
 

CrossCode Messages are used to link procedure and diagnosis codes with insurance plans. If certain procedures or diagnoses are not allowed for a particular plan, the system can be set up to automatically prompt the user with an error or warning when these diagnoses or procedures are posted to this insurance plan.
Similarly, Provider Credentials link providers to insurance plans. Is a provider is not authorized to use an insurance plan, the system can be set up to produce an error or warning message when scheduling appointments or posting charges for a patient using this insurance plan.

Lists can be sorted with the click of a mouse button. The heading columns can be clicked
with the mouse to sort by code number, type, description, class, etc. This applies to all lists within the system. In the example above, the diagnosis list can be sorted by code, type, description, or class.

List windows can be resized or positioned on screen to make it easier to view. The program remembers the settings for the window by user do that when it is open again, the window appears at the same size and position.
 
Powerful search capabilities can speed up a search by using the Find and Search fields on the list screens. Entering a description or a partial description will search the database for possible choices.

Multiple practices within the same database can be created. Global searches allow you to search across all practices in the database.



Multi-tasking allows several windows to remain open, allowing easy movement between different areas within the same program, or it allows switching between several different software programs. This would allow an operator to post payments to a patient’s account and switch to the appointment scheduler without having to close the posting screen.Multi-tasking would also allow an operator to be using a word processing program, such as Microsoft Word, and while typing a letter, be able to leave the MicroMD screen open in the background for easy access later.

Save Rows As is a feature available for any information displayed within the program. MicroMD allows the operator to save the information in various formats that can then be imported into other software programs. Reports, for example, could be saved in an Excel format and then you can import the report into MS-Excel, shift columns, sort data , create graphs and pie charts, etc. Or reports can be saved in Microsoft Word format and imported
into that word processing program and included in correspondence with referring physicians or hospitals, etc.
