FreeAgent + 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 FreeAgent for your accounting, you need a fast way to get bank statement data into the system.
BankScan AI for Medical Practices Using FreeAgent
BankScan AI converts any bank statement PDF to CSV / OFX formatted for direct import into FreeAgent. Convert practice bank statements to Excel to reconcile insurance reimbursements, patient payments, and vendor costs for accurate practice financial management.
The Medical Practices + FreeAgent 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.
