Viztek to debut Opal-BILLING at RSNA 2007

Viztek will introduce Opal-BILLING, a web-based digital radiology billing application that integrates with Viztek Opal-RAD PACS and Opal-RIS for digital radiology management, at the RSNA 2007 conference this month in Chicago.  

The Jacksonville, Fla.-based company said the application integrates with Opal-RIS to import studies automatically into its billing charge module. Claims information can be viewed and modified, and co-payments are applied to the encounter.

Opal-BILLING also provides patient statements, tracks patient inquiries and generates a wide range of billing reports, Viztek said.

The new technology shows early potential to make a significant impact on imaging workflows and patient care. 

Richard Heller III, MD, RSNA board member and senior VP of policy at Radiology Partners, offers an overview of policies in Congress that are directly impacting imaging.
 

The two companies aim to improve patient access to high-quality MRI scans by combining their artificial intelligence capabilities.
