If you would like to be released from the chore of patient billing, Diamond Dental Software allows you to transmit your billing statements electronically.  This should not be confused with Electronic Insurance Claim Processing which is discussed in another section.  Electronic Statement Processing allows you to quickly transmit, via modem, all your monthly billing data, and let someone else print the statements, stuff them in envelopes, apply the postage, and mail them.

Registering with PSC Info Group
The electronic statements are transmitted to a company called PSC Info Group.  Their address is:

PSC Info Group
PO Box 703
Valley Forge PA 19482

Telephone: 800-852-5213

You must pre-register with PSC Info Group in order to access the electronic billing service.

PSC Info Group Will Send You Their Transmission Software
After registering, PSC Info Group will send you their special transmission software along with instructions explaining how it is installed. If you have any difficulty installing the software, PSC Info Group technical support personnel will walk you through the installation.

Generating Electronic Billing Statements
The Diamond Dental Software billing program is accessed from the Main Menu via the button labeled Billing.  The Billing Parameters screen will then appear.  For a full discussion on generating billing statements see the section on Billing. At the bottom of the Billing Parameters screen, you are given the option to select among three statement types, Plain Paper, Pre-Stuffed (no longer used), and E-Bill.   Select E-Bill to create an electronic billing statement file.

Except for selecting the E-Bill option, billing commences almost identically to regular statement printing as discussed in the section on Billing.  The main difference is that at the end, instead of statements being printed on the printer, a file is created. This file is named STATMENT.DAT.
