How does switching from Dr. Bill to SnapBill work?

Sign up free, export your billing history CSV from Dr. Bill, and import it into SnapBill — the import takes minutes. Then SnapBill automates the MCEDT designee update with the Ministry of Health so new claims submit through SnapBill. Most physicians complete the switch in a single sitting.

Does my Dr. Bill billing history import?

Yes. SnapBill imports your full Dr. Bill billing history — claims, service dates, billing codes, and paid/rejected statuses — from a standard CSV export, so your complete record and analytics carry over.

Is there a contract or lock-in?

No. SnapBill has no contracts and no lock-in. You can switch between the Basic (0.2%) and Premium (1.5%) plans or leave at any time, and your data is always exportable.

What happens to claims already in flight with Dr. Bill?

Claims already submitted to OHIP through Dr. Bill continue through the normal OHIP payment cycle and are paid out as usual. You can start submitting new claims through SnapBill immediately — there is no gap in your billing.

On $400,000 of annual billings, that is $7,800 (Comprehensive) or $1,000 (Essentials) with Dr. Bill versus $6,000 (Premium) or $800 (Basic) with SnapBill — and SnapBill’s automated claim review is included at every tier.

Why physicians switch

Automation instead of a ticket queue

Claims reviewed before OHIP sees them

Automated pre-submission review checks every claim against the Schedule of Benefits — codes, premiums, and pairing rules — before it goes out.

Rejections become learning points

When OHIP rejects a claim, SnapBill diagnoses why, proposes the correction, and explains the rule in plain language so it does not happen again.

Snap: photo in, claims out

Photograph a patient list or encounter note between cases. SnapBill extracts the details and drafts the claims for your review.

The full Schedule of Benefits, built in

Search fees, billing rules, and OHIP diagnostic codes without leaving your workflow — no PDF hunting.

Analytics that read like Stripe

Revenue trends, rejection rates, and per-code performance in a clean dashboard — not a monthly PDF statement.

MCEDT setup, automated

Ministry designee enrollment is handled in the app. Most physicians are ready to submit the same day.

Switching

How switching from Dr. Bill works

Most physicians complete the move in a single sitting.

Sign up free

No credit card, no contract. Your first 3 months on Premium are free.

Export your Dr. Bill history

Download your billing history CSV from Dr. Bill. Your full record — claims, patients, paid and rejected statuses — imports into SnapBill in minutes.

Update your MCEDT designee

SnapBill automates the Ministry designee change in-app, so new claims flow through SnapBill.

Let in-flight claims settle

Claims already submitted through Dr. Bill are paid out by OHIP as usual. Nothing is lost in the transition.

When Dr. Bill might suit you better

Dr. Bill is a well-established service, and an honest comparison should say so. If you prefer a human billing agent reviewing your claims rather than automated review, Dr. Bill’s Comprehensive plan includes agent review as part of its 1.95% rate.

Dr. Bill is also owned by RBC, which some physicians value for the backing of a large institution, and it operates in provinces beyond Ontario. SnapBill currently focuses exclusively on OHIP billing in Ontario — that focus is where the depth of our Schedule of Benefits tooling comes from, but if you bill in multiple provinces today, Dr. Bill covers more ground.
