Send to CESoft

Cutting Edge Software (CESoft) is an Australian self-serve billing platform used by solo Anaesthetists and groups to manage their own billing. With your Cases in Somnus, it’s just a a few taps to create and submit electronic claims to Medicare, DVA and health funds via CESoft.

From the Cases export menu, select Send to… CESoft to upload the day's billing details straight to CESoft's secure endpoint - no re-typing, no emails.

Somnus builds a specially formatted PDF and uploads it directly to CESoft over an authenticated connection, identified by your provider number and CESoft Minor ID (see below).

Patient contact details will either be taken from Patient Notes, or will be automatically from the ID labels using Apple Intelligence, and included in the submission.

Once submitted, you’ll see the data when you log into your CESoft account as well as the PDF generated by Somnus should you wish to review the original upload.

Note: I have no financial connection with CESoft and receive no funding or commission from them. This is purely a mutually beneficial collaboration to make life easier for users of both apps.

Requirements

CESoft Minor ID

  • Once you have obtained a CESoft Minor ID, enter it into the CESoft Settings in Somnus, under Pro Settings.

  • This also shows you a list of recent submissions and their status

Provider Numbers

  • Ensure each Location in the submission has a valid Provider Number set.

  • You can do this in the context menu for each location in Somnus

  • You will be prompted to enter a provider number if it’s missing

Item Numbers

  • Ensure all Operations in the submission have item numbers attached.

  • You will be prompted if any Procedures or Anaesthetic Items don’t have Item Numbers attached, as many don’t require them, just in case you missed something.

  • Item bubbles will show you which have Item Numbers attached (tag icon), and the context menu will allow you to add/change/remove the Item Number. See here for more…

Other Requirements

  • Export to… CESoft will only appear when exporting by Day View (or individual Cases) - either on Dashboard, Case List or All Data screens.

  • Each submission is for a singlesurgeon & location. This is a requirement on the CESoft side as a submission is ‘one list per surgeon, per location’.

  • All Cases in the submission must have a duration set (ie. start & end time)
