Advantage Insurance and Document Scanning

Grayscale 200 dpi is recommended for Insurance card Scanning.

Black and White 100-200 dpi is recommended for document Scanning.

Based on the Client's need, this recommendation could be changed.

Please refer to the below chart for future planning and approximate sizes.

Caution:  This chart is only a reference and it does not reflect the true sizes for every scanner and scan format.  For a more accurate file size, please perform the scan using your own scanner and make a note of the file sizes.

The following files store all the images:

Insurance card file = INSURED.FPT

Document and image file = IMAGEDAT.ADM

Exam Images = EXAMIMAG.ADM

Number of patients/accounts X scan format = File size

example: 100,000 patients/account X 184k =  18400000

A file size of 18400000 kilobytes can also be expressed as

150732800000 bits
18841600000 bytes
18400000 kilobytes (abbreviated as KB or Kb*)
17968.7500 megabytes (abbreviated as M or MB)
