Insurance card information- API to store

[ODNovice]

Hello as the name suggested I am a novice with OD.
Here is a question.
Currently the front desk is storing the insurance card information keying the information into OD. I would like to see if there is a way to store this information automatically. The idea is to CALL an OD API to store the information. Is there any API that can do this task? Please let me know.

Good afternoon ODNovice,

Open Dental API supports many insurance related endpoints. Please see our documentation.

Thank you very much. I have gone through the database schema XML https://www.opendental.com/OpenDentalDo ... on24-1.xml and the APIs you have provided. Let me explain further what I am trying to do:
I got the following JSON information from a healthcare card

Code: Select all

{
    "idnumber": "323333229 NP302333233",
    "member": "Wally World Corp",
    "name": "John Smith",
    "pbm": "vsp",
    "plan_name": "Guardian",
    "plan_number": "G-00100034"

}

I am trying to see how I could insert this information into OD database using the APIs. If I am correct I may have to call multiple APIs. May be one to create/update patient record, then call another API to insert the plan related information.

Any thoughts on this will help. If anyone already did it, I appreciate if you can share some tips.
