Rounds and charges
Build the rounding list from a photo of the face sheet. Each day of the stay gets its charge, with suggested codes you confirm.
Between your EMR and your billing system
The missing parts of practice management.
Your EMR keeps the chart. Your billing system sends the claim. Canter runs the work in between: rounds and charges, the fax inbox, referrals, insurance checks, prior authorizations and the device clinic.

What Canter covers
The jobs your other systems leave to paper, fax trays and memory.
Biller handoff
Charges reach your biller the day they happen. Canter flags unbilled days, and charges a payer would deny, before they go out.
Provider inbox
One list of what needs the physician: rounds missing a charge, follow-ups overdue for booking, and billing work that is finished.
Fax and email inbox
Faxes and emailed referrals are read and sorted into referrals, authorizations, scheduling, clearances and records. Nothing files itself.
Referrals to booked visits
A referral becomes a registered patient and a booked visit, and follow-ups after discharge are tracked until they are on the calendar.
Hospital packets
Procedure scheduling packets on the hospital's own forms, filled from the patient's details and ready to fax.
Insurance checks
Eligibility comes back from the payer and stays with the patient, next to the insurer's directory listing and your participation records.
Prior authorizations
Every authorization case in one place, from request to decision, with staff review at each step.
Device clinic
Medtronic CareLink transmissions arrive on their own. A technician and the physician review and sign, and the report goes out on your letterhead.
Where it fits
Not an EMR. Not a billing system. The part in between.
Canter takes on
- The rounding list, and each day's charge
- The fax inbox, referrals and hospital scheduling paperwork
- Eligibility checks and prior authorization cases
- Device transmissions, signed reports and monitoring charges
- Follow-ups, from discharge to a booked visit
Stays where it is
- Notes, orders and results, in your EMR
- Claims, payment posting, statements and collections, in your billing system and clearinghouse
There is no EMR integration project. When a referral becomes a patient, Canter lays out the details to copy into your EMR in one step, and staff mark it done.
Who it's for
Everyone who touches the paperwork works from the same place.
Physicians
Round from your phone, confirm the day's charges, answer your biller's questions and sign device reports.
Billers
Work one queue of charges with fee-schedule estimates, send questions back to the physician and export the day.
Front office and medical assistants
Sort the fax inbox, register referrals, book follow-ups and prepare hospital scheduling packets.
Device clinic
Review drafted transmissions, pass them to the physician to sign and keep the 30-day review on schedule.
On the phone for rounds, at a desk for billing. Each person sees what their role needs.
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 inside AWS, covered by a business associate agreement.
- Every record belongs to one practice. A request that cannot show which practice it is for is refused.
- Encrypted at rest and in transit, with audit logging on.
- No patient information in email notifications, and none through this website.

No EMR integration project, and nothing to install.
