Apex Connex FAQs
Why do I need to use Connex?
The Apex claim importing system is set to import certain file types. Our system is not able to important PDF files properly on it's own. However, with the Apex Connex, we are able to conver claims from PDFs to a standard accepted format called Print Image. Without Apex Connex, we wouldn't be able to convert the claims to the Print Image format, and would then be unable to send the claims to the insurance companies.
