27 / 28 May 2010 v4.0 EDMS – Document Preparation, Scanning, and Manual IQC
What Does Sorting Accomplish?
1. Sorting’s main benefit: to separate documents into
the batches to be scanned.
2. Sorting allows the mailroom personnel to identify
and pull out any inbound documents that lack the
proper identification or formatting. These intercepted
documents will undergo special error handling
procedures. In many or most cases, these
documents will be mailed back to the original sender
– usually a Medicaid provider.
3. Sorters have to remove staples, sticky notes, paper
clips, tape, etc., that often come in with the mail.
