Written Alberta billing rules applied to one encounter

VitalisBill turns entered care details into claim lines the physician can inspect, with each decision tied to the active provincial Schedule.

What it is built on

Alberta is live. British Columbia and Ontario remain in development and are not yet available.

In development

British Columbia: the MSC Payment Schedule. Not yet available.

Ontario: the OHIP Schedule of Benefits for Physician Services. Not yet available.

Every fee, rule and modifier comes from those documents and nowhere else. No fee is estimated and no rule is inferred.

Every claim line points back to the page or the general rule it came from, so a physician answering a query has the reasoning in front of them.

The Schedule is reissued each April and amended through the year. Keeping the rules current against those documents is what the subscription pays for.

06

Also today

Capture same-date work so the engine can check combinations, conflicts and supporting evidence.

Deterministic claim logic

The engine applies written conditions, so the same entered facts produce the same claim. Every line cites the Schedule page or general rule behind it.

Hard stops, cautions and notes

Hard stops refuse combinations the written rules do not support. Cautions continue for physician review, and notes identify the chart evidence a supported line needs.

Included-service hard stop

When one entered service is included in another service claimed for the same encounter, the included line is refused and the applicable Schedule rule is shown.
