For allied health practices

Referral in, episode open, the right payer billed.

Allied health practices juggle a practice-management tool, a spreadsheet of referrers, an accounting package and somewhere to keep clinical notes. Corella replaces the juggle with one system you own — episodes of care that start at the referral, note templates your discipline actually uses, a payer-by-payer view of what a session is worth, and the invoicing and payroll spine underneath. And it calls the people you see whatever your practice calls them.

The practice, on one record

Client or patient — your practice's word, set once and used everywhere
Referrals open an episode of care with its own date range and payer
A rate card per payer, effective-dated so mid-year changes price correctly
Nine clinical note templates to start from, then edit to your discipline
Note locking with addenda, and co-signature for provisional practitioners
Send a report or letter out of the record with a log of who got it and when
Appointments, travel time and kilometres captured on the same record
Invoices, statements and a payroll export without re-keying anything

The episode is the unit of work

A referral opens a case with a date range, and everything belonging to that piece of work lives on it — the appointments, the notes, the documents and the invoices. When it closes, the whole episode reads as one thing rather than as scattered sessions. If your practice says referral rather than case, change the word: that is a setting too.

One session, several possible prices

The same appointment is worth different amounts to different funders, and the amount changes when a schedule updates mid-year. Corella prices from the payer's rate card that was in force on the service date, so a backdated session prices at the rate that actually applied. That is the difference between a clean month end and a run of credit notes.

What Corella does not do, said plainly

Corella does not lodge Medicare or private health fund claims, and it does not submit NDIS claims through PRODA — it generates the exact NDIA bulk file for you to upload. If Medicare lodgement is the thing your practice can't work without, say so on the call and we'll tell you honestly rather than let you find out in month three. What it does do is everything either side of that: the record, the episode, the pricing, the invoice, the payroll and the reporting.

Fair questions

Asked by teams like yours.

Does Corella claim through Medicare?

No. That is a real limit and we would rather state it here than have you discover it later. Corella produces invoices, statements and the NDIA bulk claim file; Medicare and private health lodgement are not built. Practices that need those keep them where they are, and use Corella for the record, the episode, the roster and the money either side.

Are the note templates locked to one discipline?

No — the nine that install from the starter library are generic on purpose, so you edit them into the language your discipline uses rather than fighting somebody else's idea of a progress note. Custom headings and minimum word counts are yours to set.

We're a small practice. Is this too much system?

You switch on the shape of your business: Settings carries presets for common business types, expanding one previews exactly what it turns on and off before you commit, and nothing saves until you press Save. A three-clinician practice never sees the modules a fifty-staff provider needs.

Can we send a report to a referrer from inside the record?

Yes, and the send is logged — who sent it, when, and to whom. Failed sends are logged too, which is the half that protects you: an unsent report nobody knows is unsent is the one that causes trouble. It is a send log rather than a signing tool; Corella does not claim electronic signature.
