Sage + Doctors & GPs: Faster Bank Import
GP practices and private doctors deal with NHS reimbursements, private patient fees, and practice expenses across multiple accounts. If you use Sage for your accounting, you need a fast way to get bank statement data into the system.
BankScan AI for Doctors & GPs Using Sage
BankScan AI converts any bank statement PDF to CSV formatted for direct import into Sage. Automate bank statement conversion for your practice accounts so your accountant can quickly reconcile NHS payments and private income.
The Doctors & GPs + Sage Workflow
GP practices receive Global Sum payments from NHS England, enhanced service payments, QOF achievement payments, and private income. Practice managers reconcile bank statements against PCSE payment schedules, track partner drawings, and manage seniority and locum reimbursements. Year-end requires detailed profit-sharing calculations.
Key terms you'll encounter: Global Sum, QOF payments, partner drawings, PCSE schedule.
How It Works
Upload any bank statement PDF
Supports all major banks. Saves the practice manager 3-4 hours per month on NHS payment reconciliation and partner drawings tracking
AI formats for Sage
Output as CSV with Date, Details/Reference, Paid in, Paid out — Sage requires separate debit and credit columns rather than a single signed amount — dates in DD/MM/YYYY.
Import and reconcile
In Sage Accounting, go to Banking > select your bank account > Import statement. Upload the CSV, confirm column mapping (Date, Details, Paid in, Paid out), and import. Sage's bank reconciliation remembers previous matching rules, so repeat transactions from the same payee are auto-suggested for the same nominal code.
