Sigmail has completed their integrated OHIP billing for eConsults and telephone consults. We very commonly text or email other physicians patient management questions or do the same on the phone. We rarely bill for this due to logistical issues. However, these are billable OHIP services as long as they are on a secure server and specific requirements are met.
The SigMail platform is a secure server certified for eConsults- where the system does the billing automatically and funds are automatically sent by electronic funds transfer (EFT) into your bank account each month, like your current OHIP billings. If you prefer, a monthly cheque can be sent.
There are no upfront subscription, platform or support costs, and the nominal transactional fees are taken directly from your monthly OHIP billings on the SigMail platform. You retain 80% of the eConsult billings (no cost for other Sigmail uses), you will have full access to reconciliation reporting, and they estimate $15K+ of incremental revenue for you using our eConsults. The Sigmail system also facilitates the billing of telephone consults between physicians.
The system looks and feels very intuitive just like email and Sigmail assures you that you and your staff will have a minimal learning curve! Furthermore, SigMail exceeds all required security standards as it is end-to-end encrypted secure messaging and video certified by Ontario Health and Canada Health Infoway.
