It is crucial for successful accounting, because following payment posting and reconciliation all accounts are accurate. This way we make sure that insurance and patient payments are properly posted to correct accounts, hence no mix up. Every payment is checked and approved and the payment on the corresponding vendor is processed and posted on the system.

Payment Posting & Reconciliation
At Simplifybill, we ensure that every payment, whether from insurance companies or patients, is accurately applied to the correct accounts. Payment posting and reconciliation is a vital step in the medical billing process, as it directly impacts the financial health of healthcare practices.
What Is Payment Posting?
Payment posting is the process of recording payments received from insurance companies and patients into the medical billing system. It involves allocating these payments to the respective patient accounts and claims, ensuring accuracy in account balances.
What Is Reconciliation?
Reconciliation is the process of matching payments recorded in the billing system with actual deposits in the healthcare provider’s bank account. This step ensures that every transaction is accounted for, discrepancies are resolved, and financial records are accurate.
