To use computerized billing with our billing software PARAM, you must inform RAMQ of your intention to use our service.

To register and start enjoying the benefits of medical billing with PARAM, create a new agency or inform the Board of a change in billing software developer.

Types of Agencies

There are three types of agencies. What is your situation? The registration process varies depending on each case.

• Personal Billing Agency: If you are a professional who wishes to handle your own billing or delegate it to a relative or a member of your administrative staff.
• Private Billing Agency: If you are part of a group that wishes to handle your own billing or delegate it to a member of your administrative staff. For example: medical clinic, health facility.
• Commercial Billing Agency: If you are a person or responsible for a company offering billing services to medical professionals, you must register your business with RAMQ as a commercial billing agency.

Registration Procedure

To register and transmit invoices via PARAM, you must complete the creation of your agency or modify an existing billing agency.

Registration can be done in two main ways, depending on the type of agency: via the online service "Mon dossier" (for personal billing agencies) or through the "Account Management" form (available for all types of agencies).

Here is the information required to identify us as your software developer:

Developer name: Logiciels Cx

Billing software name: PARAM

Developer number assigned by the Board: 16074

Using the Online Service "Mon dossier"

This option applies to all personal billing agencies. You can make changes to the following types of accounts: Personal Finance Account and Individual Administrative Account.

For a Collective Administrative Account, please fill out the form « Gestion des comptes administratifs et du compte de finances personnelles ».

This procedure applies when registering anew, if you already have a billing agency and wish to change software, or if you want to switch to a new agency while ending the relationship with the old one. If you need help, contact us and a member of our team will guide you through the online registration process with RAMQ.

In "Mon dossier", to modify an individual administrative or personal finance account:

• Access the Account Status Details.
• Select the option "I will manage my billing myself with a software developer offering a billing software compliant and recognized by RAMQ".
• Enter the information about our software: "16074 LOGICIELS CX – Param".
• Choose your statement reception mode by selecting "Telecommunication".
• Finally, enter the effective date and click "Save".

Your transmission number will be displayed immediately, but you will receive a temporary password within 3 days. Please inform us once this step is completed.

Using the "Management of Administrative Accounts and Personal Finance Accounts" Form

To create an agency, fill out the form « Gestion des comptes administratifs et du compte de finances personnelles ». This option is applicable to all types of agencies (personal, private, or commercial). For more information, visit the Board's website: « Inscription d’une agence de facturation ».

To modify a private or commercial billing agency. Then you must use the form: « Modification d’une agence de facturation ».

For more information, visit the Board's website: « Modification de votre dossier d’agence de facturation ».

Specifics of changing an agency for the same billing account:

It should be noted that only one billing agency can bill for a professional in a single billing account. Also, two different agencies cannot use the same billing account as long as the agency and the professional are in a business relationship.

To change agencies or accredit a new agency, the professional can do so:

• through the online service "Mon dossier" for personal finance and individual administrative accounts;
• by filling out the form « Gestion des comptes administratifs et du compte de finances personnelles ».

On a desired date, the change of agency for the same billing account will establish a business relationship between the professional and their new agency and remove the relationship with the old agency. From then on, no action will be possible by the old agency, since it will no longer be in a business relationship with the professional for that billing account.

 

Please note that the processing time at RAMQ is four to six weeks, but for administrative purposes only, if you already have your agency, you can start using PARAM immediately.

 

By billing with software, you assume the Responsabilités de l’agence de facturation.
