What are the System Requirements for HearForm 10
HearForm
runs on FileMaker Pro 11 on Both Windows and Macintosh Platforms. Please download
our System
Requirements document for an explanation.
|
At HearForm, we
believe that no one software product is the best for every
hearing healthcare professional.
We do believe,
however, that HearForm has found the best overall balance of features,
ease of use and price.
We
applaud our competition for their efforts to make our industry more
efficient and effective. We join with them in encouraging all dispensers,
audiologists and ENTs to modernize their practices with Office
Management Software.
Here
are some reasons that HearForm comes out on top after thoughtful
research into an appropriate software for our community...
|
|
HearForm,
along with some of our competition, was written by professionals who
have walked in your shoes. Michael Huskey, BC HIS, developer of
HearForm has owned and operated three offices in San Diego County and
dispensed over 7,000 hearing instruments over the past 30 years. He
knows what the needs of the everyday small to midsize office are.
HearForm began development 18 years ago to fill a need that you might
be having right now.
|
|
|
HearForm's
price is a tremendous value at $4,845.00. The software will pay for
itself many times over in the first year. We do not charge extra fees
to put the software on your laptop
We do not charge extra licensing fees to network within your
office, beyond the $150 fee per computer charged by FileMaker, Inc.
|
|
|
We
do not charge a monthly maintenance fee. SOS charges 10% per year
maintenance fee and TIMS requires that purchasers of their product
pay a mandatory $60.00 per month fee per location. While it is a
small amount, it adds up to $2,1600.00 in three years. With Sycle,
you keep paying $2,388.00 per year, per location and it never stops.
You never really own your software, even after 10 years and $23,880
per location.
|
|
|
HearForm
is open, unlocked and accessible. We allow all manner of
customization. Many of our competitors have a one size fits all
solution. No one is more flexible. Not even close.
|
|
|
HearForm
has made the decision to remain independent of Manufacturer
influence. We have an excellent relationship with sales reps and
employees from all manufacturers. Even our competitor’s reps, Starkey
and Siemens, have often referred accounts to us, because we increase
the number of hearing aid units purchased from those reps. We need
this autonomy to have an unfettered relationship with our users. We
have found that some dispensers and audiologists have issues with
some large manufacturers and do not want to be beholden to them. With
HearForm, you do not have to buy a number of instruments at single
unit cost. You simply invest once and start building your practice!
|
It
would be nice to take the best out of each of our competitors and have
the ultimate OMS. We have actually tried to accomplish that goal. We
hope you'll agree that for the investment, you can't go wrong with
HearForm. We are working hard to be the New Standard in Hearing
HealthCare Office Management Software.
To
order your copy and start building your practice, call today. We'll
send the software overnight. If you need data imported from another
software package, we will instruct you what the procedure is.
See if your manufacturer's sales rep can co-op
all or part of the cost. Most manufacturers have offered this benefit
to many of our clients.
|
|
Does your software
reside on my computer?
|
|
Yes.
When you license our program, you install it on your computer, or on
your network server, depending on your needs. You retain full control
over the software.
If the
need ever arises to stop using HearForm, you can easily export all your
data to an excel spreadsheet or other file format to quickly import all
that data into a new system. We do not make it difficult for you if you
ever want to leave. (Not that we think you will ever want to...)

|
How does HearForm work wih QuickBooks
and Electronic Claims?
|
|
QUICKBOOKS
HearForm will send Data from the
invoice file to QuickBooks Pro 2003 or later. The following data is
sent to QuickBooks, eliminating the need for double entry.
|
|
HearForm

|
|
|
Line
Items are transferred
|
|
|
Payments

|
|
|
A

|
|
|
Check

|
|
|
QuickBooks

|
|
|
HearForm
allows you to associate the invoice with a current customer in QB or
create a brand new customer automatically.
|
|
|
This
feature is a tremendous time saver!

ELECTRONIC CLAIMS
Our competitors were faced with the
same challenge that we faced. How do we allow our customers to process
claims automatically and yet allow them flexibility and still keep our
software affordable?
Most of our competitors chose WebMD
as the clearinghouse of choice. That's not a bad choice, as WebMD is
the most popular clearinghouse in the US. HearForm goes a step further,
by allowing you to choose the clearinghouse of your choice. We have
partnered with http://www.enshealth.com
and http://www.ezclaim.com
, and other clearinghouses for your Electronic Billing needs.
You pay significantly more with TIMS
and Sycle.net’s only option. TIMS does not allow you to print HCFA
forms. HearForm offers the best of all worlds at the best price
(really.)

Does HearForm Link with NOAH3
|
|
HearForm is now NOAH
compatible and officially a member of HIMSA.
HearForm connects to NOAH through
an optional module available from our partners at www.CounselEAR.com.

I have 5,000 patient records in my
current OMS program. Can I transfer the patients' Data into HearForm?
|
|
If
you are able to export your patient demographics into a text or
database file, we can include your patient data. We would charge an
additional $200-$500 for this service depending on how difficult it is.
In most cases we can import the majority of your data. We will let you
know if you call us first. Some competitive software allows you to
export your data easily. (HearForm exports with the click of one
button.) It is best to call us with your particular situation. We have
made many upgrades where ALL of the data was saved and transferred into
the friendly format environment of HearForm.
Each
system is different. It is common that the financial data from one
database CANNOT be accurately converted into another database. While we
can save the vast majority of your data (Names, addresses, telephone,
manufacturer, make model, serial, warranty dates, etc..., it is likely
that we cannot retrieve your account receivables. Customers typically
print out their balance due invoices and take a short time to renter
those into HearForm's invoicing system.
We
can save chart notes from most all conversions.
Here
are some of the databases that we have successfully converted to
HearForm

number of locally customized database

It's
actually kind of fun to do conversions for our customers, because as
soon as you open up HearForm for the first time, you have hundreds (or
thousands) of your own patients already in the new database. You can
then report on the data using HearForm's included reports.
(If
we convert your existing patient data, we will send you a signed 4 page
HIPAA Business Associate Agreement, protecting the privacy and security
of your patients. If you prefer not to send us your data, we can
perform the conversion right on your computer. This way the data never
leaves your office. We use www.logmein.com to access your desktop, with your
permission)

Is there a demo available?
|
|
Yes.
We have created a fully functional demo so you can see all aspects of
the program. You can do anything in the demo except create and delete
records. Click Here to go to our download page.
