What about customer support?
You may purchase a maintenance agreement from Accounting Systems Technology for $75 per month. We cannot stress enough the importance of having a maintenance agreement in place. This agreement entitles you to:

1. Unlimited customer support during normal business hours. Any questions or problems are handled immediately by our staff. You have the comfort of knowing that you will never be without the help you need, when you need it.
2. Free program upgrades. As we continually improve the VISIONS software, upgrades will be offered to our clients who have a maintenance agreement in place at absolutely no cost. This is an extremely valuable way for your company to get the most out of the ever-improving Visions program. See the section below for more information on upgrades.

What do upgrades consist of?
Upgrades are changes to the software and additional components that will be added to improve the VISIONS program on an ongoing basis. These are not modules. Modules are add-ons that can be purchased separately.

As we get feedback from our clients about the VISIONS program, we use these suggestions to add features that make the system easier to use and more productive. This also allows us to keep up with ever-changing governmental regulations. Each upgrade is free to you if you have a maintenance contract in place at the time the upgrade is released.

What about training?
Your licensed copy of VISIONS comes with the VISIONS Tutorial on the CD. This tutorial takes less than an hour and walks you through the entire VISIONS program as well as each step used in accomplishing all tasks available with VISIONS. This saves you time and money in three ways:

1. You don't need to spend money on expensive training to initiate your staff to the new program.
2. Your staff can go through the tutorial at their leisure. No need to schedule training during production hours.
3. You don't have to waste money and production by using your current employees to train future employees. New hires, as well as current employees, may go through the tutorial at any time.

We also offer a one-time, online training session for your agency. We do also offer on-site training at your agency should you request it. Contact us for the price for this service.

What are the system requirements for Visions?
IBM Compatible; Pentium I or higher processor; 150Mhz or greater (recommended); 400MB of free space on hard drive; Windows 98 or above including all NT products; 128MB of RAM; CD-ROM drive.

Is Visions HIPAA Compliant?
Yes! All HIPAA required security functions and electronic billing formats are included in VISIONS.

What about electronic billing?
VISIONS has the ability to bill both Medicare and Medicaid electronically.

How does Visions handle the OASIS regulations?
You have the option of purchasing the VISIONS OASIS component to the program which interacts with VISIONS to quickly collect OASIS information.

Do you offer custom design work?
Yes. Normally, additional components to VISIONS will be addressed through upgrades. However, if we haven't had enough requests for a specific addition, or if you need a component added in a timelier manner, we would be happy to custom design a component to fit your needs. Design work is billed at a rate of $100 per hour and we will quote you a final price before work begins.

What experience does Accounting Systems Technology have with home health care?
We have been designing software and performing accounting services for home health care agencies for the past 12 years. The president of our company also served as Vice-President of a home health agency for four years.
