API Request

Post by mandmdiet » Thu Apr 27, 2023 7:16 am

Use Case
  1. A claim is imported into our software to be prepared for submission to the carrier
  2. A user of our software determines that one or more procedures on the claim should not be billed to the insurance
  3. The user removes the procedure from the claim in our application
  4. Our application uses the Open Dental API to mark the procedure as NoBillIns so that it is kept in sync with the claim being submitted to the carrier
Request

The request is about this API: https://www.opendental.com/site/apiclaimprocs.html. It returns NoBillIns on the GET, but the POST does not allow us to set NoBillIns. Is it possible that we be given the ability to update that value via the API?

Thank you for your time on this.

Good Morning,

Thank you for thoroughly describing your use case. We will develop a way for you to update the NoBillIns field on a ClaimProc. We will update this thread with more information on the update to ClaimProcs PUT as it nears completion.

The feature request to enhance ClaimProcs PUT has been completed and is available in our beta version, 23.2.10. This method will now allow the NoBillIns field of a claimproc to be updated. Please see https://www.opendental.com/site/apiclaimprocs.html for more information.

Hello DerekR

When we are updating ClaimProcs to NoBillIns we are getting BadRequest with message "Cannot change NoBillIns when ClaimProc is attached to a claim." So Is there any api available to remove claim proc from claim?

Hello shripati.ukirde,

Once a claimproc is associated with a claim, the only way to remove it is to delete the claim. NoBillIns can only be used when the claimproc is an estimate as the field indicates that this claimproc will remain an estimate and never be attached to a claim. Please see our Claims DELETE method.

Thanks!
