Setting Up Insurance Verification

Once you've added Insurance Verification on to your Yapi plan, set up is simple - all you need to do is check Open Dental and make sure the ElectID field is completed for each insurance carrier you accept, then enter a provider NPI and your practice's Tax ID in Leap - just follow the steps below.

Important

Insurance Verification is an add-on feature that comes standard with 500 eligibility checks per month (and you'll be notified in-app if you reach 500). If you'd like to add Insurance Verification on to your Yapi plan or add more eligibility checks, contact our Sales team External link..

  1. In Open Dental, click on Lists and select Insurance Carriers,.

  2. At the Carriers window:

    1. Review the list of insurance carriers to make sure each carrier's ElectID has been added.

    2. If a ElectID is missing, double-click on the insurance carrier's name to edit and add it.

  3. Now in Leap, from the menu on the left, click Settings and select Practice Settings.

  4. Select Practice Information.

  5. Scroll down to the NPI and Tax ID fields. Enter your main provider's NPI number and your practice's Tax ID.

    Note

    You can also use the practice's NPI if you need to, but you should only use it if you have a lot of providers that all accept different insurances.

  6. Click Save. You'll see a message appear at the bottom of the page confirming your settings were saved. You can now start using Insurance Verification from the Leap homepage.

  7. Recommended: Enable insurance verification automation to have Leap check each scheduled patient's eligibility automatically!
