Claim -- MedType

[laborspy]

There any chance we can get the MedType for Medical/Dental added to the Claim POST and PUT?

Example:

Code: Select all

POST -- https://api.opendental.com/api/v1/claims

{
"PatNum": 123456,
"procNums": [123456789],
"ClaimType": "P",
"MedType": 1
}

Where from the dbase Claims table for MedType
Dental: 0
Medical: 1
Institutional: 2

Hello laborspy.

The MedType field relates to the e-claim format to use for an e-claim. Typically, the default value of this field is based on the claim's ClaimType. Are you wanting the API to add support for Medical claims, or do you have a use case for updating the MedType field?

Thanks!

Yes, would like it to be able to support the modification or really the insertion of medical claims. I'm able to do 99% of everything with this specific API, but am unable to toggle dental/medical.

Good morning laborspy,

Researching this has been added to the API development list. We will reply to this thread when complete.

Thanks!
