Increased efficiency for hospitals: Automated payment advice note posting
With tangro PA-HC tangro offers a solution for automated payment advice note processing in SAP that has been specially designed for healthcare establishments. Since the process is automated, tangro PA-HC (Payment Advice - Health Care) ensures efficient and reliable document processing.
This allows high volumes of accounting entries to be posted with little effort. tangro PA-HC is characterised by its particularly easy handling. The solution is also SAP-embedded, which means that no additional servers are needed for interpretation. IT support requirements are minimal.
Payment advice notes provide information on the payment of open invoices in the form of a combined amount. In this case, the document contains all the details regarding incoming payment that are required for individual open items to be allocated and cleared. Large hospitals in particular are confronted on a daily basis with a flood of payment advice notes that can run to several hundred pages containing thousands of items. Booking these payment advice notes is extremely time-consuming. In addition, there is the danger that errors can occur when individual items are transferred manually. Searching in the event of queries also takes up an unnecessary amount of time.
tangro PA-HC automates this entire process,resulting in considerable efficiency gains in the accounting departments of healthcare institutions. tangro PA-HC processes documents that arrive on paper, by e-mail, fax or via EDI. Paper documents are scanned and interpreted using OCR (optical character recognition). Electronic content is simply picked up and transferred. Digital content from the document such as invoice number, item number and amount are interpreted and matched against existing data in SAP. Allocation to the customer (health insurance fund) and to the open invoice is thus automated and the posting can be effected immediately.
In this way tangro PA-HC speeds up document processing significantly and ensures that each individual item is entered. tangro PA-HC also makes queries easier since the document image is allocated to the transaction, allowing it to be quickly retrieved at any time. The solution's interface is designed with a simple and clear layout. Operation is thus self-explanatory.
tangro also offers automated payment advice note processing for commercial companies with the version tangro PA-IS (Payment Advice – Industrial Solution).
