Create NextGen® Background Business Processor Packages to Automatically Import the Daily Enrollment File
To automate downloading and importing the APC daily file from the NextGen® Pay powered by InstaMed portal, two jobs may be set up on the NextGen® Background Business Processor. NextGen® EDI will assist you in setting up these jobs for the APC process. The first job is a user specified application job. It uses the automatic NextGen® EDI File Transfer application to retrieve nightly enrollment files generated by NextGen® Pay powered by InstaMed. The second job is an APC Directory Import job. This job processes the APC enrollment files in NextGen® Enterprise PM. This process takes the enrollment file and automatically updates the applicable accounts. The file includes enrollment failures due to invalid credit card numbers or expiration dates, invalid email addresses, and self dis-enrollment by the patient. Note: NextGen® recommends setting these jobs to run nightly for files to be updated daily. Parent topic: Set Up NextGen Background Business Processor Packages to Process the Daily Enrol
