Practice Studio SQL is practice-management software for allied health and health. Centaur Software's allied health product — the same company behind Dental4Windows, which it says runs in more than 4,500 dental practices.
Tyro only. Tyro is its own middleware and its own acquirer, so this one comes with the bank attached — moving bank means a new integration.
It handles HealthPoint private health claiming, Medicare bulk billing, Medicare Easyclaim and multi-merchant. Tyro rates it a Premium partner — their top tier.
Practice Studio is clinical and practice management software, not a point of sale. It comes from Centaur Software Development Co Pty Ltd, which has been in practice software for more than 30 years and is far better known for Dental4Windows — the dental system it says is trusted by over 4,500 practices across Australia, New Zealand and further afield. Alongside it sit Dental4Web, Dental4Mobile, MediaSuite, MediaWeb PACS and PatientCare. Directors listed on the company's own site include Dr Frank Papadopoulos, Michael Sokol and Yuri Tsimbler.
The claiming is what you are actually buying. Through Tyro Health, Practice Studio does Medicare Easyclaim three ways — bulk bill, part paid and patient paid — plus private health fund claims and a rebate estimate before the patient pays. For an allied health clinic that is the difference between settling the claim at the front desk and sending the patient off to deal with Medicare themselves, which is the single biggest determinant of how your reception desk actually runs.
Worth noting the house it sits in: a vendor whose centre of gravity is dental, with a deep installed base there, offering an allied health product on the side. That usually means solid claiming and billing plumbing, because dental taught them health fund claiming the hard way, but less depth in discipline-specific clinical notes than a specialist allied health vendor.
