Billing and payment
Benefits of online billing
We know how important the prompt payment of invoices is to the efficient running of your practice and we want to support you in this. That’s why we ask you to make sure you invoice us electronically.
This is an easy way to make sure invoices reach us and are paid promptly. It is:
- more accurate – there's no chance of wrongly coding a procedure or sending through an incomplete invoice by mistake, both of which can delay payment.
- quicker – you know straightaway that your invoice has been received, making sure you get paid on time.
- cheaper and more environmentally friendly – not only does it save you money on stationery and postage, but it saves on paper waste too.
- safer – as sensitive patient information is secure and only visible to those who process your invoice
Our Providers Online website not only allows you to update your profile on Finder, our online directory of Bupa recognised consultants, therapists, hospitals and healthcare services, but you can also use it to bill us too. You can view pre-authorisations linked to you and use them to pre-populate invoice details, track the progress of your accounts, and see when invoices will be paid.†
