Link Explanation of Benefits Images to NextGen® Enterprise PM Transactions

You can associate Explanation of Benefits (EOB) batches that you scan or import into NextGen® Document Management with the transaction batches you create in NextGen® Enterprise PM. Associating EOB batches enables you to view the EOB information as you enter payment transactions.
  1. Open NextGen® Document Management.
  2. Scan or import an EOB batch of documents to NextGen® Document Management, and then assign an EOB document type to the batch.
  3. OpenNextGen® Enterprise PM, and then when you create a transaction batch, in the Batch Maintenance window, select the NextGen® Document Management EOB batch from the Doc Mgmt Image Batch list.
    The transaction batch is associated with a batch of EOB documents in NextGen® Document Management. The viewer in NextGen® Enterprise PM displays the EOB images in the viewer within NextGen® Enterprise PM when you access the Payment Entry window. You can then reference the EOB information as you enter transactions.
