Office ALLY Integration

[cmack (Colin MacKenzie)]

Hi
Can anyone tell me if Office Ally and/or ZirMed can be integrated with OPEN EMR so that when you input patient info into OPEN EMR that same info will populate Office ALLY or ZIrMed automatically without needing double entry?

Hi Colin,
It is possible to integrate OpenEMR with OfficeAlly or ZirMed. You can do so by adding your X12 partner details (credentials) i.e. OfficeAlly or ZirMed, under Administration -> Practice -> X12 Partner. Once the details are configured, you should be good to go.

If you need help with the configuration, let me know. Also, I have developed a custom feature that automates the X12 submission to OfficeAlly and ERA import back into OpenEMR. Let me know if you would like a demo.

Thanks,
Mandar

hi @cmack, think your title and question is a little misleading. This is just the electronic claims process and OpenEMR can be set up for any clearinghouse or direct to payer implementation.

[cmack (Colin MacKenzie)]

Thank you.

Stephen, are you saying that Office Ally only performs the electronic transmission of the claims to the payers, but does not execute the payments back to the provider?

[stephenwaite]

Hi @cmack, no, they’ll send the ERA back.

Hi Colin,

Here is below flow from start to end:

1. Once you generate the claim you need to submit the claim to office allay from FTP or from office allay web application.
2. Once claim is uploaded office allay send you stratus of your claim.
3. Once claim got passed office allay send the ERA on FTP and email.
4. FTP or email ERA you need to manually process into OpenEMR.

As @Mandar_Sahasrabuddhe mention you we had made all above steps automate for one of our client. You did not need to do this process manually, you just need to click on the generate claim button.

Thanks,
Nilesh

I wrote a module for my clearinghouse, it sends the 837 through a rest api and then downloads the 277/835s to the respective “f folders” for example f835.

Hi Mary, we would be happy to schedule a demo with you on this. Please let me know your availability this week and timezone.

OpenEMR can send automated outgoing 837s (electronic claims) currently out of the box with a little configuration. The 835s (electronic remittance) will still be a manual process to post until that’s developed more.

Importing the files into the csv tables before posting may interfere with the posting script as it is currently written since it asks for an upload and when done processing will copy that file to the csv folder.

Does X12 SFTP Work?

In OpenEMR 6.1 (I’m presuming it is the dev version), the Healthcare company I work for now wishes to implement the use of this feature for submitting X12’s so that our billing department doesn’t have to download the X12’s and manually submit them. I was given the SFTP Login Credentials and SFTP Pass Credentials (nothing beyond those, leaving the other 4 SFTP fields empty, I will include a picture at the bottom to showcase what I mean by empty fields). I also found wherein Administration -> Glob…
