Bench + Medical Practices: Faster Bank Import
Medical practices receive payments from insurance companies, Medicare, Medicaid, and patients — each with different reimbursement schedules and reconciliation requirements. If you use Bench for your accounting, you need a fast way to get bank statement data into the system.
BankScan AI for Medical Practices Using Bench
BankScan AI converts any bank statement PDF to CSV formatted for direct import into Bench. Convert practice bank statements to Excel to reconcile insurance reimbursements, patient payments, and vendor costs for accurate practice financial management.
The Medical Practices + Bench Workflow
Medical practice administrators reconcile ERA (Electronic Remittance Advice) payments from insurance companies against claims submitted, verify patient co-pay and deductible collections, track Medicare and Medicaid reimbursements, and match vendor payments for medical supplies and equipment. Bank statements are cross-referenced against practice management system billing reports to identify underpayments and denials.
Key terms you'll encounter: ERA payment, EOB, claim denial, CPT code.
