EOB attachments

Post by beacondental » Fri May 19, 2023 11:21 am

Is there a way to GET EOBs attached to primary or secondary claims. We were looking to get the files that were attached.

The API is not able to get EOBs attached to individual claims. EOBs are stored in the OpenDentImages\EOBs folder, and utilize the eobattach table which links them with the claimpayment table. A claim payment can be made for multiple claims, and thus there is no direct correlation between the EOB’s and a single claim.

Is there a way to GET an API call for the the stored files in the OpenDentImages\EOBs folder and eobattach table and claimpayment table?

We can create EOBAttaches GET that will get EOB attachment information by ClaimPaymentNum. This will get you the filename of the EOB you are after. I have added this to our development list.

Do you need to also download the EOB files, or just get the file information?

Yes, we would need to download the EOB files and get the info on the files? Thank you.

We have added downloading EOBs to our development list. As with downloading other files via the API, this new method will use an Sftp site hosted by the developer. See Documents POST DownloadSftp, Queries POST, and Sheets POST DownloadSftp for reference.

The information in the eobattach table, such as the filename, is enough information for some workstation applications to open and load the EOB themselves.

Other applications, such as web or cloud implementations, will need to use the Sftp option instead.
