What to test
Use the trial to answer the questions that matter
The point of the trial is not just to open the program. Test the actual workflow you expect to use after purchase.
Does the import fit my workflow?
If you plan to import claims, review the supported Excel layout and test sample data before purchasing.
Will it print correctly for me?
Test your printer alignment. Paper-claim printing varies by printer and form stock, so this is worth checking before you buy.
