eMEDIX eResp Integration

With the eMEDIX eResp Integration function, you can store the database and user credentials used when CGM webPRACTICE communicates with the eMEDIX clearinghouse to send electronic claims, validate transmissions, retrieve confirmation reports, and import Electronic Remittance Advice (ERA) files.

Action Required: If you are sending claims to the eMEDIX clearinghouse, you must complete this integration for each database in your system to ensure that your 5010 claims transmit properly.

Upon accessing this function, a summary list displays the existing credentials for the current database:

The database account displays at the top of the list in bold and does not show a name in the User Name column. It holds the database-level eMEDIX credentials used by background services (claim transmission, ERA import, confirmation reports).
Below the database row, each individual user account displays with the CGM webPRACTICE user code, printing name, and the corresponding eMEDIX user name. User credentials are used when a specific user accesses eMEDIX features that require their own login.

To edit an account, click anywhere in the row. To add a new user account, click Add User in the Action Column.

Credential Validation

The eMEDIX credentials stored in this function are validated automatically in the background whenever certain operations are performed:

Prepare/Send Transmission File - Credentials are validated before 5010 claim files are transmitted to eMEDIX. If validation fails, a message displays indicating eMEDIX Credentials are Invalid and the files remain in the Transmission File Inquiry as Untransmitted until the credentials are corrected.
Print Confirmation Report - Credentials are validated each time the function is accessed. If validation fails, the eMEDIX Credentials are Invalid message displays.
Import and Post ERA Files - Credentials are validated in the background. If they cannot be validated, a No eMEDIX Credentials on File for Database message displays.

If credentials cannot be validated after you have re-verified them in this function, contact Customer Service for assistance.

NOTE: When a user enters and saves a new password through the eMEDIX Credentials function (Billing > eMEDIX Credentials), the eMEDIX eResp Integration is automatically updated for that CGM webPRACTICE User Code.
