Use for: I need to check a patient's insurance eligibility before their visit, Schedule a follow-up appointment for an existing patient, Retrieve the clinical notes from a patient's last encounter, I want to submit a claim for a completed office visit

Not supported: Does not handle pharmacy dispensing, medical imaging (PACS), or hospital inpatient workflows — use for ambulatory practice management, outpatient scheduling, and office-based clinical documentation only.

Use Cases

Patterns agents use DrChrono API for, with concrete tasks.

★ AI Agent Practice Management

AI agents access DrChrono's 310 endpoints through Jentic to automate practice workflows spanning scheduling, billing, and clinical documentation. An agent searches for operations by intent, loads the schema, and executes calls to check eligibility, book appointments, or pull clinical notes without manual endpoint mapping. Jentic manages OAuth 2.0 token refresh and scope enforcement transparently.

Search for patient Jane Smith by name, verify her insurance eligibility, then schedule a follow-up appointment with her primary care provider for next Tuesday at 2 PM

Clinical Documentation Workflow

Create and retrieve clinical notes with structured templates tied to specific encounters. The API supports batch retrieval of notes by date range, provider-signed attestation workflows, and custom vitals tracking. Clinical notes include diagnosis codes, procedures performed, and follow-up instructions that feed directly into billing.

Retrieve all clinical notes for patient ID 5678 from the last 30 days, extract the ICD-10 diagnosis codes, and list pending follow-up actions

Insurance Eligibility and Billing

Run real-time insurance eligibility checks and submit claims with CPT codes, modifiers, and charge amounts. The API connects eligibility verification to charge capture and claim submission in a single workflow. Supports daysheet reporting for reconciliation and payment posting for received remittances.

Run an eligibility check for patient ID 1234 using their primary insurance, then create a claim for CPT code 99213 with a charge amount of $150

Lab Order Management

Create lab orders routed to specific sub-vendors, track order status, and retrieve structured results when available. The API supports the full lab lifecycle from order creation through result attachment to the patient chart. Integration with multiple reference labs allows practices to route orders based on test type and patient preference.

Create a CBC lab order for patient ID 9876 routed to sub-vendor Quest Diagnostics, then check the order status after 24 hours

Key Endpoints

310 endpoints — access a full-featured ehr and practice management platform covering clinical documentation, patient records, appointment scheduling, billing, lab orders, prescriptions, and insurance eligibility across 310 endpoints.

Why though Jentic?

Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.

Credential isolation

DrChrono OAuth 2.0 credentials (client ID, secret, and refresh tokens) are stored encrypted in the Jentic vault (MAXsystem). Agents receive scope-limited access tokens with automatic refresh — raw secrets and refresh tokens never enter the agent's context.

Intent-based discovery

Agents search by intent (e.g., 'check insurance eligibility') and Jentic returns matching DrChrono operations with their input schemas including required patient IDs and scope requirements, so the agent can call the correct endpoint without parsing 310 operations manually.

Time to first call

Direct DrChrono integration: 5-10 days for OAuth setup, scope configuration, and endpoint mapping across 310 operations. Through Jentic: under 1 hour — search, load schema, execute.

FAQs

Specific to using DrChrono API through Jentic.

What authentication does the DrChrono API use?

The DrChrono API uses OAuth 2.0 with the authorization code grant flow. Scopes control access to specific data categories: billing:read, patients:read, clinical:read, and others. Through Jentic, OAuth tokens are managed in the MAXsystem vault with automatic refresh, and agents receive scoped tokens without handling client secrets.

Can I run insurance eligibility checks with the DrChrono API?

Yes. The GET /api/eligibility_checks endpoint runs real-time eligibility verification against a patient's insurance plan. You provide the patient ID and insurance details, and the API returns coverage status, copay amounts, and deductible information. Results are stored and searchable for future reference.

What are the rate limits for the DrChrono API?

DrChrono enforces rate limits per OAuth application. Standard limits are approximately 100 requests per minute for most endpoints. Batch endpoints like /api/clinical_notes_list and /api/appointments_list return paginated results to manage large datasets without hitting limits.

How do I retrieve clinical notes through Jentic?

Search Jentic for 'retrieve clinical notes DrChrono' to discover the clinical_notes_list endpoint. The agent loads the schema for GET /api/clinical_notes_list which accepts date range, patient, and provider filters. Install via pip install jentic and use the search-load-execute flow to pull notes without manual endpoint configuration.

Does the DrChrono API support ePrescribing?

Yes. The POST /api/medications endpoint creates prescription records with drug details, dosage, frequency, and pharmacy routing. The API integrates with ePrescribing networks to send prescriptions electronically. You can also retrieve a patient's active medication list via GET /api/medications.

Can I generate billing claims from encounter data?

Yes. After documenting a clinical encounter, use POST /api/claim_billing_notes to attach billing notes with CPT codes and charge amounts. The GET /api/day_sheet_charges endpoint provides daysheet reports for reconciliation. Claims flow from clinical documentation through charge capture to submission.
