BupaMade simple with Effra

Bupa billing, automated for your clinic

Effra raises every Bupa invoice out of the practice management system you already use, submits it against the right practitioner, and has the adjudication back within the hour. Nobody on your team logs into Bupa.

Effra works with ANY platform you’re already using

The hour after the appointment

Most clinics find out how Bupa adjudicated a claim days later, in their portal, one treatment at a time. Effra streamlines that entire workflow.

Nobody logs into the Bupa portal

Your usual routine: log in, select the practitioner, read the adjudication, note the shortfall. This simply stops happening with Effra.

  • No selecting the right practitioner or provider number for each patient
  • No reading adjudications line by line to find the shortfalls
  • No waiting for a statement to know whether Bupa has paid
  • One list in Effra covering every practitioner in the clinic

What Effra does with every BUPA 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 BUPA’s requirements before submission

    So claims are not rejected days later.

  • Submitted within minutes rather than batched to the end of the week

    And chased until it is paid.

  • BUPA remittances read and recorded within 24 hours of being issued

    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.

Audit-ready for insurers

Healthcare providers are expected to evidence what was billed, when and against which appointment. Effra keeps that record as a by-product of the automated billing.

  • A single source of truth instead of spreadsheets, email threads and separate portals
  • The same record across every insurer you bill, not just BUPA
  • Helps avoid de-registration which is very difficult to overturn, and can result in significant revenue lost overnight
The Effra activity trail for one invoice: imported from Cliniko, submitted to Bupa, insurer response stored with the adjudication and patient excess, invoice sent to the patient, remittance line matched, patient payment received, payment recorded in Cliniko and cash confirmed against the practice bank account.

“Their automated platform truly gives us confidence and peace of mind that nothing is being missed, much more than when we used to do things manually when inevitably errors were sometimes made.”

“Effra has given me back a full day a month of trying to input invoices and keep track of payments.”

Lisa Benn

Prime Sports Physio

“Effra has been simply wonderful. We previously used a large billing company who made numerous errors resulting in unpaid invoices, bad debt, overdue insurance invoices and unpaid patient excesses which had a negative effect on our cash flow. Effra has been a game changer and will be a market disruptor. Most importantly as a clinic owner it has helped our cash flow and reduced bad debt. Our admin & reception team have a very clear understanding of everything & find Effra easy to use.””

Freedom Clinics

I have been using Effra to help manage billing for my practice, for several months. I have found it to be a really helpful and easy to use tool that makes my life much easier, picking up on any payment problems with insurers, and sorting them out. With Effra, I am much more confident that I will get paid for all the work I do. I would like to thoroughly recommend it to others.

Automated Bupa Billing questions we get asked

How quickly do we see the adjudication?

Within the hour of the invoice being submitted. The adjudication is stored on the invoice with the excess and any shortfall reason, so you are not reading it off a screen in the Bupa portal.

How quickly are Bupa payments reflected in our system?

Remittance status is recorded within the hour of Bupa issuing it. Effra matches every line to the invoice that raised it and posts the payment back, so your outstanding list is accurate the same day.

Does this only work for Bupa?

No. Effra covers every major UK insurer on the same platform. Most clinics start with the insurer costing them the most admin and switch the rest on afterwards. We also streamline your processes with self-pay patients.
