Add an insurance company and policy number to a patient record

To correctly use e-claims with insurance integrations, patient records must have the correct supplier contact record of the applicable insurance integration. And they must have the correct insurance policy number.

  • Make sure that your ezyVet site has a supplier contact record for the applicable insurance integration
  • Make sure that you know the insurance policy number of the patient
To add the information, do this procedure.
Note: This procedure uses PetSure as an example insurance company.

The clinical record sidebar
Note: The clinical record sidebar shows Insured if a patient record has an insurance policy number. It is not necessary to select a supplier contact record of an insurance company for the sidebar to show Insured.
Note: After you select Save, ezyVet tries to send the insurance policy number to an applicable insurance company. ezyVet uses configured insurance integrations that is has to know which insurance company to use. When the insurance company receives the policy number, they do a check. If the insurance company cannot find the policy number, they send information back to ezyVet directly. Then, ezyVet shows a warning. This example image shows a warning after a policy number check with PetSure:
