topsOrtho™ 3.1 Delivers New Features with Mac OS X Leopard

OrthoBanc integration includes Recommendations feature

ATLANTA, Jan. 2, 2008 — The topsOrtho™ 3.1 release delivers new features backed by Leopard, the anticipated upgrade to Apple’s current operating system. topsOrtho is the Mac OS X-based orthodontic practice management system with imaging.

“Running topsOrtho with Leopard will give new users a Mac that is easier to use than ever,” said tops Founder and CEO Dr. Mark Sanchez. “topsOrtho is already fast, secure, stable and flexible, and this operating system transcends all of these characteristics.”

topsOrtho’s existing users will feel the power of Leopard on workstations initially, with server installations pending. Called a “sexy beast” by technology writer Joe Hernick of networkcomputing.com, Leopard is certainly substantial. Apple is known for updating its operating system frequently to enhance the user experience, expanding the potential for creativity and enjoyment.

OrthoBanc Recommendations

This release also extends the topsOrtho integration with OrthoBanc, which is an online payment processing system for orthodontic offices. topsOrtho users now have access to the company’s Recommendations service, which provides patient credit risk assessment in seconds.

topsOrtho users have enjoyed access to OrthoBanc’s payment acceptance service, which electronically processes payment acceptance via ACH drafts and credit card payments. The integration results in automatically updated ledgers in topsOrtho and bank deposits for orthodontic offices.

“We are excited to be able to offer our Credit Recommendations through the topsOrtho integration,” said Marla Merritt, director of sales and marketing for OrthoBanc. “We know many topsOrtho users have been anticipating this upgrade. With OrthoBanc Credit Recommendations, a practice can determine the level of risk associated with each patient before offering payment options.”

Other new features include:

  • An import template for Quick Ceph Studio in topsOrtho’s image browser.
  • Receipt serialization, allowing offices worldwide new options for creating and accessing important financial documents. New sortable reports give orthodontic offices valuable data.
  • Updated auto-pay plans, which can be modified as needed and verified with topsOrtho’s receipt system.
