Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions

Healthcare organizations evaluating accounting software often have questions about functionality, scalability, and fit. The following answers address common considerations to help guide informed decision making.

What is healthcare accounting software?

Healthcare accounting software helps healthcare organizations manage financial operations across entities, locations, clinics, departments, and service lines. It can support financial reporting, accounts payable, budgeting, financial controls, and other accounting processes while helping finance teams manage the complexity of healthcare operations and organizational growth.

What is the best accounting software for healthcare organizations?

The best accounting software for a healthcare organization depends on its size, structure, and financial complexity. Organizations managing multiple entities or locations should look for software that supports multi-entity accounting, automated consolidations, reporting across locations and entities, strong financial controls, and flexible options for connecting with other business systems.

Do healthcare organizations need multi-entity accounting software?

Healthcare organizations with multiple legal entities, locations, clinics, or affiliated businesses can benefit from multi-entity accounting software. It allows finance teams to manage entities within one accounting environment, automate intercompany transactions and consolidations, and report across the organization without relying on separate company files and manual spreadsheets.

What features should healthcare accounting software include?

Healthcare organizations should look for accounting software that supports:

Multi-entity and multi-location accounting
Automated intercompany transactions and consolidations
Reporting by entity, location, clinic, provider, department, and other financial dimensions
Accounts payable automation and approval workflows
Role-based security, audit trails, and financial controls
Flexible data import tools and an open API for connecting accounting with EHR, EMR, billing, payroll, and other operational systems
Scalability to support additional entities and locations as the organization grows

When should a healthcare organization upgrade from QuickBooks or basic accounting tools?

Healthcare organizations may outgrow QuickBooks or other basic accounting tools when they add entities or locations, require consolidated financial reporting, spend significant time on intercompany accounting and reconciliations, or rely heavily on spreadsheets and manual processes. Moving to a multi-entity accounting platform can help simplify accounting across entities and locations and support continued growth.

How can healthcare organizations improve financial reporting?

Healthcare organizations can improve financial reporting by centralizing financial data, standardizing accounting structures, automating consolidations and intercompany processes, and reporting consistently across entities and locations. Modern accounting platforms can also provide reporting by clinic, provider, department, program, and service line, giving finance and leadership teams greater visibility into organizational performance.

Is healthcare accounting software required to be HIPAA compliant?

Healthcare accounting software does not always contain protected health information (PHI), so an organization's HIPAA requirements depend on how the software is used and what information it stores or processes. Healthcare organizations should evaluate accounting systems for appropriate security, access controls, audit trails, financial workflows, and other safeguards based on their specific compliance requirements.

How does modern accounting software help growing healthcare organizations?

Modern accounting software helps growing healthcare organizations manage increasing financial complexity, automate repetitive accounting processes, consolidate financial reporting, and manage additional entities and locations as the organization expands. Multi-entity platforms can also reduce the accounting complexity associated with acquisitions, new locations, and healthcare roll-ups.
