So is the multiple prescriptions on 1 paper working good now? I see the beta 16.3.17 but not sure if switching over is good idea? I currently on 16.2.59.

Is it worth upgrading to the beta to get 2 rx on 1 paper?

So finally got it approved and should be "going live" tomorrow. When sending the test files and running all the tests, they had me log in to their webpage and manually upload the files to their website. Is it possible to send the claims directly from open dental (like how the other clearinghouses wo...

Ok so this what they want from me now: The next step is for you to provide a test file or files that include a Share of Cost greater than zero and “MC” in the SBR09 element. I tried following the directions in the online manual exactly but they want the above now. Any help appreciated. I am on 15.3....

How about for the share of cost issue? "Although the claim note segment of this transaction indicated it represented a Share of Cost transaction, a patient share of cost amount was not sent. A Patient Amount Paid (AMT) segment with a qualifier code of ‘F5’ is expected." Or is that what you were refe...

Denti-cal is asking for "At least one transaction with Service Facility information in Loop 2310C and service facility phone number in NTE segment of Loop 2300." Any idea how to do this? Also following step #6 from open dental instruction manual says At least one transaction that includes a Share of...

http://www.opendental.com/manual/dentical.html Has anyone been able to get approved to send claims electronically directly to denti-cal (not through clearinghouse) as mentioned in the above help link? I got the process started, but seems like a very complicated process. Even denti-cal's support says...

LOL yeah, i don't have a cerec.

Can someone chime in who does crowns the traditional 2 appointment way?

doctordoom

How are you guys doing this? I had been billing the insurance on the prep date, but now i realized they want to bill on the seat date. I read one thread on here where someone made fake procedure code for example N2750 for crown prep, then used the D2750 as the crown seat. And then just billed the in...

I called and asked open dental about this the other day. I was told that is how it is, they are working on the issue, but the time frame is unknown for now.

correct me if i'm wrong someone at open dental?

doctordoom

bump to the top..

any updates? I really would like to be able to sync my open dental with google calendar. Or at least have that option.

doctordoom

I use Windows remote desktop.

doctordoom

Google now syncs with most of calendar application out there. I think a simple solution is sending a an icalendar file to emails and get Google sync installed. I planned to make a plugin for it but still a bit lazy because of January :). Will start it this week. I figured google syncs with most cal...

doctordoom

bump, is there a way to sync with google calendar?

Is there a feature that I can vote on that will allow this? Thanks in advanced.

I think that office's biggest mistake was not encrypting their back ups or server? Only other thing i could think of, was a inside job (angry employee), or someone hacked into their computer or exploited vulnerabilities of dentrix which would have had to been done while the computer was on. Justin, ...

"......Shafer says he found a copy of a Dentrix program on an internet file sharing site.

When you run the batch file, you still have to type the password to decrypt and mount the partition.

doctordoom

I think you only need windows 7 ultimate or windows 8 ultimate on the server. All my workstations/client computers aren't encrypted. You could actually use truecrypt as well if you don't want to use windows 7 ultimate... i found the way to make a .bat file to run when you log into windows with truec...

doctordoom

I believe you just have to back up the opendental folder inside the MYSQL folder and also the opendentimages folder.

I use karen' s replicator and those are the two i back up.

i vote for the epson gt-s50. Scans directly into OD. No need to scan to desktop, no need to import, and no need to delete a bunch of pdf files from desktop.

gt-s50 you just go into the image module, scan, and you done.

doctordoom

I backup onto a encrypted USB 3.0 flash drive, and archive it weekly and restore it on a computer at home that is encrypted. I use bitlocker because it is recommended by open dental. http://www.opendental.com/manual/encryption.html "The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HI...

Finally figured out how to resolve this. Made 2 partitions on hard drive. I made my first one about 250 GB for windows. Made that one the C: Made the 2nd partition the D: Encrypted the D: with bitlocker (must have windows 7 ultimate or enterprise). Made a .bat file that runs at startup. Here is a co...

Ok, since I have been using open dental for a little bit now, thinking about doing this as a solution. I purchased a SSD which I installed windows on. I plan to leave this unencrypted. Install open dental on this drive, plan to get a 2nd bitlocker encrypted hard drive (will probably try to run a lon...

If a patient was to try to pay me with bitcoin then i'd tell them to GTFO.

doctordoom

I'd recommend epson gt-s50... works good in OD.

doctordoom

honestly the reason why is because they were trying to follow your instructions above and it didnt work. Dentists including me thought its was a free way for us to use capture button in open dental, but now i'm starting to realize its more like advertising for your consulting company. (eg $200 USD t...

I was using truecrypt, but the one problem I had was if i ever rebooted the computer remotely, I wouldn't be able to get back into windows because for truecrypt you need to type in the passcode before it will even load into windows 7. Just curious what you guys are using? Any ideas on how I would be...

doctordoom

I use windows built in remote desktop. I even figured out how to get it activated in windows 7 home premium (as opposed to professional or ultimate).

doctordoom

Thanks guys, got it figured out now!! this scanner is awesome!!! Way faster than my brother duplex all in one machine!!!! Money well spent!!!
cheers

doctordoom

Ok so I got that working by installing the twain driver version 3.62 as recommended in the other post by jsalmon.

Now somewhere someone had mentioned this scanner can scan both sides then automatically eliminate the blank pages. Any ideas on how to do that? THanks in advance guys.

doctordoom

Ok so i bought this scanner after everyone recommended it in this forum. I can't seem to get this thing to work properly in OD. Are people scanning documents directly in OD? Or are people scanning it and then importing it later? I installed the drivers off the cd that came with the scanner. When i c...

doctordoom

this issue resolved now? i ordered this scanner already and want to get a headstart if to prevent windows from automatically installing the drivers on this.
thanks

doctordoom

So i am currently looking to purchase a new scanner. Is the epson gt-s50 the best one to go with? Or is there a better model anyone can recommend? I am currently using a brother all in one machine which works good, but for duplex scanning it passes the page twice instead of duplex scanning in 1 moti...

Please guys.. i'm doing more sealants today.... It doesn't allow me to enter surfaces like a filling procedure..

doctordoom

Is there a way to add surfaces to sealants? How would I go about doing that?
Certain insurances required a surface for sealants being placed. Thanks in advanced.

doctordoom

got it to work! thank you. Had no idea I had to click the little pencil icon on the upper right box to get it to go! LOL pretty dumb of me.

i bought a topaz signature t-l460-hsb. I installed the SigPlus Basic program.

I plugged in the device and it said it installed properly in windows 7 64bit.

thanks for your reply. I ended up just installing adobe reader and it works now. Only thing that sucks is adobe reader is memory hungry compared to that foxit program. BUt i guess don't have a choice. thanks for your help!
