Features

Everything between the appointment and the money in the bank

Recoup covers the whole ACC workflow for a Cliniko practice — ACC45s, ACC32s, invoices and payments, sent straight to ACC — and then the money side that no ACC add-on shows you.

The whole money picture

All your revenue, finally in one place

Cliniko holds your private and surcharge billing. ACC and accredited employers pay you somewhere else entirely. Until now nothing put them together. Recoup combines every payer, so you can see what the practice really earned this week or this month, and everything still owed.

  • Weekly and monthly totals across ACC, accredited employers and patients, with GST handled the same way for each
  • Money owing from every payer on one list, oldest first, each with what to do next
  • Split by clinic, by practitioner and by month, from the same figures
  • The numbers your contractors are paid from, on the basis they invoice you

Claims

Lodge ACC45 claims digitally

The full coded ACC45, lodged with ACC at the press of a button — no re-typing into a portal.

  • SNOMED diagnosis search with ACC's own occupation, scene, location and ethnicity lists
  • Patients can pre-fill their claim from your intake form, signature included, on a phone or your reception iPad
  • Anything still needed is listed in plain English and highlighted on the form before lodgement
  • Import the claims you already have, and check any claim's cover status at ACC by number or by NHI
  • ACC32 requests for more treatments sent straight to ACC — filled in from the claim, and ACC confirms it has received them
  • Clinical notes and reports sent to ACC on the claim too, plus printable provider and referral copies
  • A copy of each lodged ACC45, and each visit's claim and treatments left, written into Cliniko for you
Invoicing

Tag the claim, batch the invoices

Your team tags each visit with its claim as they go. You review what's ready and send the batch to ACC in one click — from the appointment book itself.

  • One tap when the patient has one active claim; a picker that names each injury when they have more
  • Blocked visits say exactly why — no provider number, no service code, no claim — so nothing stalls silently
  • Double-billing is impossible: a visit can only ever be on one invoice
  • Accredited-employer invoices with the employer's own reference numbers, emailed as a PDF
  • Equipment, reports and time-based codes billed properly, per discipline
Payments

Know what ACC actually paid

Remittances are pulled from ACC and matched to your invoices line by line. Every unpaid visit says what to do next.

  • Short and non-payments flagged with ACC's own reason
  • Check any invoice against ACC in one press and see ACC's status in ACC's words
  • Money owing across ACC, accredited employers and patients, oldest first, with pre-filled chase emails
  • Transfer a declined visit to its accredited employer, or write it off with a reason, without leaving the list
  • Import your previous system's payment history so nothing is lost when you switch
Reports

All your money in one picture

ACC, accredited employers and patient billing, added up — by clinic, by practitioner, by month. Two counting bases, both stated on the page, so the numbers reconcile with Cliniko and with your accountant.

  • Collected vs outstanding across every payer
  • Income by clinic, practitioner and appointment type
  • Treatment-allowance and claim-expiry watching, before it costs you money
  • Caseload insights: average treatments by injury type, by practitioner
  • CSV export of any view
More than ACC

Notes, letters and forms — in the same place as the money

The clinical side of the visit is built in too, so your practitioners spend less time typing and more time treating.

AI treatment notes

Talk through the session. Get the note.

Start a session, talk as you treat, and Recoup drafts the treatment note under your own Cliniko template's headings — then saves it straight into Cliniko, filed under you.

  • Written in each practitioner's own style — upload a few of your notes and drafts match how you write
  • Never invents a finding: it writes only what was said, under the headings you use
  • Today's visits listed with note status checked against Cliniko — saved, draft or still to write
  • Diagnosis, Read code and treatments left on the claim beside every note
  • Export a patient's notes as a PDF on your letterhead, by claim or by pick
Letters & forms

Referrals and reports in a minute, on your letterhead

Say what the letter needs to say and Recoup drafts it — to a GP, a specialist, imaging, an employer or the patient — on your clinic's letterhead with your signature block.

  • A letterhead for every clinic, so letters come from the branch the patient is seen at
  • Search your Cliniko contacts to address it in one tap
  • Shorter, more formal or plainer words with a press — you always edit before it goes
  • Emailed as a PDF attachment, or printed — with a record of what was sent
  • ACC32 requests filled from the claim and sent to ACC, ACC45 copies written into Cliniko
Patient intake & ACC45 pre-fill

Patients start their own claim

A link on your intake form — or your reception iPad — lets patients fill in their side of the ACC45 before they're seen. It lands as a draft for the practitioner to check and lodge.

  • ACC's own lists for scene, district, ethnicity and occupation, so answers arrive coded
  • ACC's patient declaration read and answered, with a finger signature
  • A claim number they already have flows straight in — one press imports it from ACC
  • The draft opens on the step that still needs something, so nobody starts again
  • Kiosk-safe: a shared iPad clears itself, and details never sit in the address bar
And the details that matter

Everything else that comes in the box

One plan, every feature — nothing here is an add-on.

Five-step ACC45

Patient, claim, injury, details, declaration — a progress bar, a claim summary beside it, and only the steps still needing something.

Claim checks at ACC

Check cover by claim number or by NHI and date of birth, and import an existing claim with its diagnosis in one press.

Appointment book & calendar

Day, week and month in soft visit colours, a practitioner picker, and the claim tagged on each visit.

Treatment limits watched

Every claim's allowance counted live, with nearly-used and expiring claims flagged and the ACC32 one tap away.

Payments checked overnight

Recoup asks ACC about unpaid invoices every night and rechecks claims on hold, so the morning starts with answers.

Sort this

One panel for any unpaid visit: ACC's reason in plain words and the fix beside it — bill the employer, re-invoice, email ACC, or write it off.

Accredited employers

Employer invoices built from the appointment book with their own reference numbers, emailed as a PDF, and chased with everything else.

One-press reminders

Email every overdue employer or patient invoice from Money owing, each with its PDF attached.

Reports & insights

Income by clinic, practitioner and month across every payer, plus caseload insights by injury, age and gender.

Contractor earnings

Each contractor's share on the basis they bill you on — money received or work done — with buyer-created invoices.

Practice messages

Post a note to the whole team or a few people, right on their home screen.

Help that answers

A built-in assistant answers your team's questions with screenshots, and passes anything else to a person.

Move from another system

Bring your claim history, invoices and payment records across, so in-flight treatment carries on.

Phone, iPad and desktop

Practitioners tag claims on a phone between patients; reception runs the practice from an iPad.

Built for NZ health data

Hosted in Sydney, a private database per practice, and every ACC exchange on record.
