Overview

The Payment Batches tab is used to preview image sets in an image batch or create a payment batch to which image sets can be attached to related insurance, guarantor, or collections payments.

This tab contains a list of all created and posted payment image batches. The payment image batch must be posted for it to be available in Connect Back Office. If the payment image batch is not listed on the Payment Batches tab, go back to Scan Batches and verify the payment image batch has been posted. If it has not been posted, post the payment image batch.

If a payment image batch does not contain the image set needed, click the payment image batch on the Payment Batches tab, then click View to open the Image Viewer page. Use the Image Viewer page to add images to an existing image set or create image sets into which you can add images. Images are added to image sets by scanning documents or importing images.
