Close the note. The claim
is ready.
Billing and the chart, finally on the same page. The moment a progress note closes, Althea Smart EHR auto-generates the claim with the visit’s ICD-10 and CPT codes attached. Billers see the note, the codes, and the claim side by side, and your optional RCM team in Southern California can take it from there.
The end of superbills.
Stop manually transferring codes from the chart to the biller. Stop chasing providers for missing diagnoses. Stop reconciling two systems at month-end. Althea Smart EHR turns the closed note into a clean, scrubbable claim, automatically.
Auto Claim on Note Close
The instant a provider signs off, a claim is generated with the visit’s ICD-10 and CPT codes pre-attached. No superbills, no re-keying, no waiting on end-of-day batches.
Biller Transparency
Billers see the progress note, ICD codes, and CPT codes side by side, and can add, edit, or remove codes inline. Every change is audit-logged with the user, timestamp, and reason.
Optional RCM Service

Althea Smart EHR Medical Billing
The essentials, workflow, RCM service, and compliance, answered briefly.
Billing is built directly into the chart. The moment a provider closes a progress note, a claim is automatically generated with the visit’s ICD-10 and CPT codes attached. Billers see the claim, the source note, and the codes side-by-side, and can add, edit, or remove codes before the claim is scrubbed and submitted. No double entry, no separate billing software, no waiting on superbills.
RCM (Revenue Cycle Management) is an optional service where MD Synergy’s in-house billing team takes over the entire revenue cycle on the practice’s behalf, charge entry, claim scrubbing, submission, ERA posting, denial follow-up, patient statements, and reporting. The team is local to Southern California and trained on Althea Smart EHR, so practices keep full visibility while offloading the work.
Yes. The billing module works fully on its own, with or without RCM service. Many practices keep their in-house biller or third-party billing company and use Althea purely as the platform. RCM is opt-in, the software gives you the same transparency and tools regardless.
Althea Smart EHR connects to all major clearinghouses, including Waystar, Change Healthcare, TriZetto, Office Ally, and Emdeon, and submits to the full payer network they cover, Medicare, Medicaid, all commercial carriers, and workers’ compensation. Electronic Remittance Advice (ERA/835) auto-posts back to the patient ledger, and eligibility checks run before the visit so co-pays and deductibles are known up front.
Denials surface in a sortable worklist with the rejection reason mapped to the original claim. Resolve, correct, and resubmit in two clicks, the corrected claim links to the original audit trail. With RCM service enabled, the billing team handles the worklist for you and reports back weekly.
A real-time A/R dashboard shows aging by payer, by provider, and by patient, with drill-downs from a single number all the way to the source note. Day Sheets, Month-End reports, and per-provider productivity reports run on demand. Filter by date, payer, location, or CPT, every report exports to Excel or PDF.
Yes. The billing module shares the same HIPAA-secured infrastructure as the rest of Althea Smart EHR, end-to-end encryption, role-based access control, and full audit logging on every claim, edit, and adjustment. MD Synergy signs a BAA covering all PHI elements, including those touched by the optional RCM service.
