I am trying to setup edi billing to proxymed/medavant/capario (all the same company… just changed their name 3 times). Now, looking through some of the code dealing with x12 and billing I couldn’t find how these claims are actually being transported. Are they being transported via sftp or by some other means? some technical documentation on that would be helpful and save us some time.
Thanks.

OpenEMR does not have a built in transport model (yet) Most end users just save the file locally and drop in on the clearing houses website. I use sftp from the server side. MI2 is working on a round trip sFtp service that monitors the edi directory for new batches and also processes the response files back into the system so the use can handle any errors and/or see the status from inside the billing module and in the patient notes.
This process works for 3.0.1 release, we are just vetting it against the 3.1.x target right now.

It might be easier to just write a script to use scp to transfer whatever is in the edi folder and the cron job it.
