General Information & Pricing

Everything you need in one easy, integrated program.  AltaPoint combines billing, inventory, scheduling, reminders, clinical records, and many other features in one system.

Friendly and intuitive.  AltaPoint has been carefully designed to put your practice information at your fingertips in a logical, predictable, and easy-to-understand manner.  The instruction manual is straight-forward and includes many illustrations.  Online help is always only a keystroke away.  When it comes to finding a dental practice management system that is both friendly and powerful, AltaPoint is the clear choice.

  Affordable.  AltaPoint offers an unbeatable combination of features and value.

  Based on the Latest Technology.  AltaPoint is a true 32-bit program designed from the ground up to take full advantage of the power of Windows 98, Windows 2000, and Windows XP.

  Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed.  Try AltaPoint Dental for 30 days risk free.  If you are not completely satisfied, return it for a refund of the purchase price.  Independent Resellers maintain their own return policies, which may be different from ours.  If buying from a local reseller, ask your reseller about their policies and guarantees.

Patient & Insurance Billing

AltaPoint streamlines and simplifies the work of insurance billing. You can print dental or medical insurance claims on pre-printed forms or even on plain paper.

Electronic Claims Processing

Fast and painless - AltaPoint electronic claims allow you to process and track your dental claims quickly and efficiently.  Free your staff to work on more important practice tasks and save on the postage and supplies associated with printing and mailing your insurance claims. 

Store Pictures and other Images 
Use a scanner or digital camera to capture and store pictures of patients, contacts and employees.

Custom Statements that You Design 
Billing your patients has never been easier. Use any of a number of statement formats or design your own with your favorite Windows fonts, styles -- and even your own practice logo. Patient statements can include a variety of information of your choosing including: aging of accounts; special and dunning messages; estimated insurance and patient responsibility of charges; up-coming appointments and reminders; patient instructions for specific procedures -- and many other options.

Appointments & Tasks
Use AltaPoint to record and manage all of your appointments and tasks. Set up repeat appointments and special days. You can add alarms and notes. View appointments by day, week and month. You can even view appointments for multiple doctors on one screen.

Management Reports
AltaPoint comes with a complete set of accounting and management reports. In addition to flexible reports that come built into the system, you can design an unlimited number of your own reports and forms. All reports support your favorite Windows fonts and can be previewed on the screen before printing.

Speech Recognition 

for Narrative Dictation 
Fast and reliable.  AltaPoint takes advantage of state-of-the-art technology that allows you to dictate notes directly into your patient records.  The system converts your dictation into text as you speak. The more you dictate, the more the system "learns" your voice and vocabulary.  You simply won't believe the power of this exciting technology. 

Inventory Control
Use AltaPoint to track and control all of your inventory items. Maintain desired stocking levels and reorder points. Track the revenue, and cost of goods sold for each product in inventory.

Clinical Charting and Treatment Plans
Clinical charting is fast and easy. Maintain detailed clinical charts for each patient including adult and/or primary teeth. The patient's chart can be accessed directly from a tab on the patient record -- allowing you to quickly locate and update the patient chart with only a few clicks of the mouse. Once completed, the chart can be printed on the patient's walk-out statement or treatment plan.

Pre-Treatment Estimates
Enter and print detailed pre-treatment estimates and treatment plans.

Patient Instructions
Detailed patient instructions and other notes can be setup to print automatically each time a specific procedure is performed.

Reminders
AltaPoint simplifies and streamlines the tedious task of generating reminder notices. Annual exams or other procedures that require follow-up visits can be set to automatically generate future reminder notices.

Task Management
Track important tasks by date, patient, and provider.

Charts & Graphs
Display and print rich, colorful graphs to visually analyze your practice. You can graph billings by provider, receipts by provider, and a complete practice analysis.

QuickBooks Interface
AltaPoint can be used “stand alone” or in concert with other systems like QuickBooks -- the popular accounting program from Intuit, Inc.

Letters, Labels, and Post Cards
AltaPoint’s integrated report writer allows you to create any number of custom letters, file labels, mailing labels, and post cards.

Referral Tracking
AltaPoint lets you track referrals by doctor, patent, media, as well as other sources.

"Smart" Word Processing Interface
AltaPoint works hand-in-glove with your existing word processor. That’s because both Microsoft Word and WordPerfect can read your AltaPoint data files directly -- without the need to create separate “Mail-merge” files! AltaPoint also interfaces directly with MicroSoft Excel, MicroSoft Access, Borland Visual dBase and many other popular programs.

Phone Dialer
If you have a modem connected to your computer, the integrated phone dialer allows you to have the computer dial any client or contact phone number with the press of a key or the click of the mouse.

Compound Codes
Compound codes can save you time and keystrokes when entering invoices. With this feature, you can combine several procedure codes as a single command.
