What Effra does with every HCML invoice
Raised straight out of your practice management system
As soon as the appointment is complete. Reception and clinicians carry on exactly as they do today.
Validated against HCML’s requirements before submission
Rates, approved sessions and reporting requirements checked, so claims are not rejected days later.
Submitted through HCML Supplier portal with the reference recorded
Within minutes rather than batched to the end of the week, and chased until it is paid.
HCML payment and remittance information retrieved as soon as it is available
So your practice management system is never a week behind.
Shortfalls flagged line by line with the reason attached
Patient excesses billed and collected against a card on file.
Cash reconciled to your bank
With an alert when the money does not land.
We automate HCML Billing
Effra connects to your HCML supplier account, so there's no migration. By using us, your team never has to login to HCML again. Same workflow, just optimised with Effra. We call that 'Effra Magic!'

Appointment to payment
What if I work with multiple referral sources?
Referral source decides the channel. Effra reads it from the appointment and routes each invoice without anyone choosing.
Direct insurer claims
Insurer or Healthcode
Sent straight to the insurer, or through your Healthcode account if you have one.
HCML-managed cases
HCML Supplier Portal
Invoice and any required reports submitted against the case, with the reference recorded.
VITA HEALTH GROUP / NUFFIELD HEALTH
Pronto Portal
Referral invoices and treatment updates submitted through Pronto.
HCML Billing questions we get asked
How quickly are HCML payments reflected in our system?
As soon as the remittance or payment information is available in the portal. Effra retrieves it, matches every line to the invoice that raised it and posts the payment back, so your outstanding list is accurate the next morning.
Does this only work for HCML?
No. Effra covers Nuffield Health, HCML, Vita Health Group and every major UK insurer on the same platform. Most clinics start with the referral source costing them the most admin and switch the rest on afterwards. We also streamline your processes with self-pay patients.
