Scanners for EOB Management • Installation and support of a scanner is not included in EOB Management • We do not have any scanner requirements, but we do have recommendations: - Produce PDF images - OCR the PDF - Use the lowest dpi that gives the best quality to make the most use of available disk space (i. e. start with 200 to 250 dpi) - If the scanner does not have OCR capability built-in, consider an application such as Adobe Capture 35 / GE / June 7, 2004

Key Features Ø Images are indexed by practice code, check number, posting date, and control group number. Ø Electronic remittance will automatically index as part of the live posting process Ø Links to images from payment listing are “smart” – a link is only available if an image is available for viewing. Payment posting can happen before or after indexing the image. Ø OCR allows a user to search the EOB for a specific patient Ø PDF format allows a user to easily print the EOB Ø Images are backed up and restored via the standard Group Management back up utility 36 / GE / June 7, 2004
