Abstract: A medical practice management system can be used to manage a medical practice. A medical practice management server communicates with a medical practice client user interface over a first network and communicates with a payor server over a second network. The medical practice management server receives information associated with a visit by a patient to the medical practice. Prior to using the information to create a claim, the medical practice management server automatically and repeatedly interacts with the information to ensure correct information by either applying one or more rules to the information or by performing one or more transactions with the payor server. The medical practice management server performs a correcting action in response to finding an error in the information and subsequently uses the information to create an insurance claim.

Abstract: A return coin discharge unit mountable in the box cabinet of a coin operable telephone apparatus has an entry opening into which return coins from the apparatus will drop and it includes a ramp in a passage down which ramp the dropped coins will slide and issue through a horizontal slot at a front end of the unit. An open ended trough having a curved inner bottom surface located on the ramp below the entry opening serves to cause dropped coins moving over its curved surface to obtain horizontal positions for sliding down the ramp. And, a flap gate pivoted in the passage and inclined forwardly with its bottom edge resting upon the ramp functions to allow one coin at a time to pass beneath it to the exit slot. Explosives and blocking material are prevented by the narrow horizontal slot against entry into the unit; and the gate curbs the extent to which damaging wires may be inserted through the slot into the unit.
