Office Ally Eligibility Check

5.0.2 includes an option to perform eligibility checks using Office Ally.

Current documentation consists of old documentation :

Can anyone add additional steps needed such as setting up and monitoring transmissions as well as hints for error analysis/resolution?

@mdsupport,

Please refer the below steps for performing eligibility verification in OpenEMR-5.0.2

Get an account from OfficeAlly.

OpenEMR-5.0.2 contains the integration code for OfficeAlly.

Then setup the OfficeAlly account details at Administration ->Practice-> X12 partners.

Check the API call under the function name requestEligibility() in the given file: library/edi.inc

Please compare the API and make the necessary changes.

Hope this will help you.

Please let us know for more insights.

Thanks,

Using the debugger you can view the sent message and make sure it complies with the X12 format and includes all of the required fields that Office Ally asks for. Generally, before sending messages to Office Ally they ask you to send some test data. Getting a positive or negative response from Office Ally is a good way to see if you have your Administration -> Practice -> X12 partners set up.

Its also important that the following fields are filled out correctly, all the values that are provided by Office Ally except for the ETIN. You will also have to determine the value for DTP03 based on your needs.

Thx @visolveemr, @growlingflea.

We will get details from our billers and try it.
