Healthcare and Medical Markets
When a patient is admitted to the hospital, the registration staff makes a copy of the patient’s driver’s license and insurance card to put with the file. The insurance information is then keyed into the database. In healthcare, about 20% of the claims submitted by hospitals are denied by the insurance companies. Ninety percent of those are due to typographical errors. By scanning patient documents, insurance cards and driver’s licenses at patient registration and creating a digital image accessible to the patient’s authorized care providers; hospitals can reduce registration time, solve data inaccuracy problems and improve customer relationships.

Work Faster
The DocuMate 272 quickly handles many different tasks at hand – right at the desktop. It has a 50-page automatic document feeder that scans up to 66 images per minute using dual CCDs – doubling your speed and productivity for two-sided documents.
