Wave + 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 Wave for your accounting, you need a fast way to get bank statement data into the system.
BankScan AI for Doctors & GPs Using Wave
BankScan AI converts any bank statement PDF to CSV formatted for direct import into Wave. Automate bank statement conversion for your practice accounts so your accountant can quickly reconcile NHS payments and private income.
The Doctors & GPs + Wave 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.
