Transcription services

  • Dict8 is a UK-based transcription provider. Its transcribers have worked as full-time medical secretaries in either NHS Trusts or Primary Care Trusts. All work carried out by this team is specialty matched. For example, only neurology transcribers carry out neurology work.
    On average, Dict8 transcribers have over a decade of full-time experience within a trust as medical typists. This is why we believe the quality of typing provided by our transcription services is incomparable.

    Benefits included:
    Higher quality work due to experience and medical background
  • Fewer mistakes and less checking required 
  • Accuracy and therefore a reduction in clinical risk
  • Reduced costs through fewer corrections needed
  • Increased data security because all data is kept in the UK

Medical billing and collections

  • Our medical billing and collections service is suitable for all physicians. This includes those just starting out in a private practice, established independent physicians operating in any specialty, or group practices with multiple providers and clinics.

    MBC uses state-of-the-art software and their approach is consultative rather than simply working as a supplier. Their experience in the medical industry allows them to fully understand your challenges and the changes taking place in the market today, putting them in an ideal position to offer you excellent advice and support.

    Benefits included:
    Maximised billing revenue
  • Immediate invoicing

  • A tailored service
  • Strengthened practice and patient relationships

Medical indemnity insurance

  • In partnership with Tysers we provide affordable medical indemnity insurance for physicians and surgeons in the UK. Healthcare insurance is complex, yet their experience and knowledge ensures you get the right product for you or your practice. Their strong connections with healthcare insurance providers allow them to provide the best solution for any size or type of client.

    They carry out a rigorous risk assessment that satisfies Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) requirements, proving that a reasonable and rational assessment has taken place. 

    Package covers:
    Healthcare professionals
  • Hospitals healthcare networks
  • Clinics
  • Physicians
  • Allied healthcare professionals

Embassy billing

  • It can take months to recoup medical funds from embassies. This is why we have partnered with Healthcare Invoice Finance (HIF) to assist medical practices in receiving their funds, faster. Healthcare Invoice Finance provides doctors with 95 per cent of the value of their invoices upfront and subsequently manages collection of the invoices from embassies. This is an ideal solution that overcomes slow payment by embassies in a friendly and professional manner.

    Benefits included:
    Cash released from invoices to your practice upfront
  • Ongoing managed invoice collection through to the final payment
  • A straightforward and time-saving approach to embassy medical billing
