Between your EMR and your billing system
The missing parts of practice management.
Your EMR keeps the chart, your billing system sends the claim, and Canter runs the work in between.
- Runs on AWS under a BAA
- Works beside your EMR
- Keeps your billing system
-
Rounds Physician, on the phone
Start from a photo of the face sheet. Each day of the stay gets a suggested charge, and it reaches the biller only after the physician confirms it.
-
Fax inbox Front office, at the desk
Overnight faxes and emailed documents, sorted into referrals, authorizations, scheduling, clearances, records and requests. Staff confirm each one before it is filed.
Referrals -
Prior auth Front office
A case moves from request to decision in one place, with staff review at each step.
-
Biller handoff Biller, at the desk
The day's charges arrive with fee-schedule estimates. A stay with two initial codes is flagged before it goes out. Export the day.
Two initial codes
What it does
Eight jobs between the chart and the claim.
- Rounds and chargesA charge for every day of the stay, confirmed by the physician.
- Biller handoffThe day's charges, checked for what payers deny.
- Fax and email inboxOne inbox, sorted, and nothing filed until staff confirm it.
- Referrals to booked visitsFrom the inbox to registration to a booked visit.
- Hospital packetsThe hospital's own forms, filled in and ready to fax.
- Insurance checksEligibility from the payer, kept with the patient.
- Prior authorizationsEvery case in one place, from request to decision.
- Provider inboxWhat still needs the physician.
For physicians, billers, front office and medical assistants. The phone for rounds, a desk for billing, and each person sees what their role needs.
Where it fits
Not an EMR. Not a billing system.
What Canter takes on
- The rounding list, and a charge for each day of the stay
- The biller handoff, checked before charges go out
- The fax and email inbox, referrals and hospital packets
- Insurance checks and prior authorization cases
- The physician's list of what still needs them
What stays where it is
- Notes, orders and results, in your EMR
- Claims, payment posting, statements and collections, in your billing system
There is no EMR integration project and nothing to install. When a referral becomes a patient, Canter lays out the details to copy into your EMR in one step.
Built in a working practice
Canter is live at Precision Cardiology, an independent cardiac electrophysiology practice in Houston, where it was built.
Every part on this page runs there today, beside the practice's own EMR and billing system.
How patient data is handled
- Patient data stays in AWS, under a business associate agreement.
- Every record belongs to one practice.
- Encrypted at rest and in transit, with audit logging on.
- No patient information in email notifications, and none through this website.
Questions
Before the first call.
Do we replace the EMR or billing system?
No. Canter works beside both. Notes, orders and results stay in your EMR, and claims, payment posting, statements and collections stay in your billing system. There is no EMR integration project and nothing to install.
Does anything file itself?
No. Canter sorts faxes and emailed documents and suggests codes, but staff confirm each document before it is filed, and nothing reaches the biller until the physician confirms the charge.
What happens on the first call?
You tell us how your practice runs today, and we show you Canter on a day like yours: rounds, charges, the fax inbox and referrals. We ask for practice details only, never patient information, and there is nothing to install.

Practice details only, no patient information. A person replies, and there is nothing to install.
