On the Insurance Carriers topic online it says "Normally, carriers will be added to this list automatically for you." When and how is this done? My list is EMPTY!

Are there lists of Insurance carriers available that I can import into my database? What about plans?

Or are we doomed to fill in all of this information one by one ourselves?

I bill dental and medical insurance and there is a huge list of our participating plans that came with the practice purchase, but I chose not to convert the Easy Dental database due to 17 years of many patients that I will never see.

Thanks for any help in setting up the insurance portion of OD!

The carriers get added as you add insurance plans to each patient. Yes, you fill the plan information in one by one unless you are converting an existing database. This would be another example of why a database conversion would be useful in spite of all the old patients.
