One great way to use this application is toattach scanned copies of the patient care report to the trip so it’shandy for billing. This solution can help you realize your dreamof the paperless office. Use the integrated scanning interface toscan and link either a single document or a batch of documentsquickly and efficiently.

Prioritize yourbilling and collections efforts.Even if storage is not an issue, the process of searching for,copying, and filing supporting documents in a billing officerequires time and is a redundant task that can increasestaffing costs. The scanning solution requires that eachdocument only be filed once by scanning it into the system,then the permanent filing of a printed copy. Any subsequentneed for that document is easily met by accessing it viaRescueNet Billing for viewing or printing.With the Scanned Document Application you can: Efficiently attach scanned images that have been scannedin with a batch of documents.
