File a Batch

After you scan a batch of documents and images into NextGen® Document Management, you can file them to make the individual documents of the batch easily available when you search for the document. The application holds the current file values when you change document types while filing batches. As you file a large batch, if the filing information does not change starting from the second page to several pages afterwards , you can select the navigation buttons to move through the pages until you reach a page that begins a new document. You can either select New Doc or select a different document type in the list to create a new document. Using the navigation buttons to move through a document while filing eliminates unnecessary database accesses since whenever you select File, you save the data to the database. Note: You can file maximum 50 pages in a single document. When you file to a document with a rendering provider on it and select a patient with a default primary care physician, y
