Claim -- MedType

Post by laborspy » Thu Jul 10, 2025 11:28 am

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!
