Read full description

...Mit rund 4.000 Mitgliedern ist die Deutsche Gesellschaft für Schmerzmedizin e.V. (DGS) die größte Gesellschaft praktisch tätiger Schmerztherapeuten in Europa. Seit der Gründung im Jahr 1984 setzt sich die medizinische Fachgesellschaft für eine bessere Versorgung von Patienten mit chronischen Schmerzen ein. Dies will sie vor allem über zwei Wege erreichen: Zum einen über ein besseres Verständnis für die (Not-)Situation von Schmerzpatienten in der Fachwelt, bei Kostenträgern, politischen Entscheidern und in der Bevölkerung. Zum anderen über eine bessere Diagnostik des chronischen Schmerzes und eine bessere Behandlung für die Betroffenen.

About

GOÄ Abrechnung

Features
Read full description

GOÄ Abrechnung helps doctors and practice teams prepare German private medical invoices on iPhone, iPad and Mac. The app focuses on German GOÄ billing and primarily uses German-language workflows and fee descriptions. Specialties: ten specialties with more than 550 GOÄ codes from the official fee schedule – ENT, urology, internal medicine, gynaecology, ophthalmology, dermatology, vascular surgery, phlebology, physical and rehabilitative medicine/sports medicine, and practice laboratory. Choose your specialty once and the catalog shows only matching codes; official exclusion rules and the laboratory maximum (No. 3541.H) are checked automatically. THREE STEPS TO AN INVOICE Select a patient, enter the services actually provided, and review the details. Practice information and invoice text are prefilled. A sample invoice with fictional data lets you explore the result without using your free invoice allowance. GENERAL PRACTICE AND ON-CALL CARE A curated GOÄ catalog covers consultations, examinations, home visits, vaccinations, adult health checks, ultrasound and selected diagnostic services. Practice profiles and search synonyms help you find services. Set factors, enter individual justifications and record required organ details alongside each item. REVIEW AND SHARE A PDF The app calculates fees and flags selected billing combinations and factor limits. The on-call assistant helps with time-based surcharges and travel fees. Edit drafts, share invoice PDFs and track draft, sent and paid status. POST-MORTEM EXAMINATIONS A separate workflow supports post-mortem examination records using GOÄ codes 100/101, surcharges, travel fees and PDF billing. LOCAL DATA AND OPTIONAL AGENT ACCESS Patient and invoice records are encrypted and stored locally. On Mac, an optional MCP interface can be enabled for one session. A deliberately connected AI client can check services and, with separate permissions, maintain patients, invoice drafts and post-mortem examination records. Final PDFs, handoffs to an external email agent, trash and payment updates require approval of the specific action in the app. The chosen AI provider's handling of received data must be assessed separately. Optional usage counters remain on the device. They contain event counts, not patient data, and are never transmitted automatically. TRY IT FREE Includes 5 invoices and 3 post-mortem examination records. Pro is available as a monthly subscription, annual subscription or one-time purchase. Current prices are shown before purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled in your App Store account settings in time. The catalog and checks do not cover the entire GOÄ. Clinical prerequisites, invoice details and billability require professional review before use.
