ProcTPs POST

[beacondental]

Hello Open Dental,
Can you enable a function for ProcTPs POST. We would like to add procedure codes to certain PATNUMs thru the API.
Thank you.

Good Morning beacondental,

ProcTps, are copies of ProcedureLogs, that are only used for saved treatment plans. They are created automatically when using TreatPlans POST Saved to create a saved treatment plan.

Thanks!

How can we POST TP codes for select PATNUMs?

[DerekR]

Can you please clarify what you mean by "TP Codes".

If you are referring to a treatment planned procedure, you can use ProcedureLogs POST with a ProcStauts of "TP".
If you are referring to a procedure code, you can use ProcedureCodes POST, but those are the the list of codes that are used when creating a procedurelog and are not directly associated with an indivudal PatNum.

Thanks!

We need it associated with individual PATNUM accts. How can we do that?

[DerekR]

Please clarify what you mean by "TP Codes".

It sounds like you need to create a procedure for a patient, which you can do by using ProcedureLogs POST with a ProcStatus of "TP".

If a patient is eligible for whitening or night guards, we would like to add this code into his treatment plan so the front desk/doctors and discuss the treatment plan and estimates. So, we want to add D9944 code to the patients treatment plan and then have the ability to put priorities and phase the treatment. Let me know if this is helpful

Good Morning beacondental,

Thank you, this was very helpful! You will need to use ProcedureLogs POST to accomplish this goal. The request body should be similar to the following. The key information you need is the PatNum for the patient you want, the ProcDate you want this procedure to appear when it is treatment planned, a ProcStatus of "TP" to ensure this is a treatment planned procedure, and the procCode you wish to use. There are also a lot of optional parameters you also can include such as Priority, ProvNum, etc.

Code: Select all

{
"PatNum": 31,
"ProcDate": "2023-11-28",
"ProcStatus": "TP",
"procCode": "D9944"
}

This is how you enter treatment for patients via the API. All ProcedureLogs with a status of "TP" will automatically appear in the Treatment Plan Module under the patients Active Treatment Plan. You can later use ProcedureLogs PUT to make changes to this treatment, such as update the priority, attach it to an appointment, etc.

Thanks!
