Our generic HL7 feature is very new and is still being documented. I don't believe it handles insurance data though. http://opendental.com/manual/hl7setup.html

Why do you need to export HL7? What is your ultimate goal? I'm sure there are a plethora of other options to "export" data from Open Dental to external sources that will be far less confusing to a "typical user" than using generic HL7s.
The best thing about a boolean is even if you are wrong, you are only off by a bit.

The available fields all do seem to be listed on

I think the problem is not lack of info but simply lack of fields that you are interested in. If you just want to export data, why don't you connect to the database instead using some sort of ODBC connector?

That page and the links on it are old, but that should give you the idea. The database schema is here:
