We understand that transitioning from one system to another brings with it concerns regarding your historical data. For this reason, we have outlined the process below as well as supported and non-supported data points.
Process Overview
The data transition process is as follows. There are many steps along the way to ensure accuracy and consistency. Therefore, this process typically takes 30 days to complete, depending on the complexity and integrity of your data.
CLEAN UP | >>> | REQUEST | >>> | CONVERT | >>> | TEST | >>> | IMPORT |
-
Clean up current AR
If you’d like to clean up your AR (i.e., writing off cases to bad debt), this would be the time to do that. -
Request data from previous provider
Because your previous provider will not accept a data request from Passare, you will need to make the request. -
Convert data
The data will need to be converted into the specific format and file structure required to import into Passare. -
Import data into a testing environment in Passare
In order to ensure the integrity of the date, it will need to be verified by you in a test environment and confirmation sent back as soon as possible. -
Import data into production
Once the data is imported into production, any payments or adjustments to cases that occurred after the data was requested from the previous provider will need to be entered into Passare.
