Configuring the Billing API

ZOLL Billing can generate claims based on ePCRs received from RescueNet ePCR, emsCharts, and third party vendors (that supply data in a NEMSIS 3.4 or 3.5 format) through the Billing API. The API comes standard on each ZOLL Billing product.

Gather this information to give to your ePCR agency

You will need to gather the following information to give to your ePCR agency:

  • Your account ID: The Company account ID is the value used for your organization (your ZOLL Online Account ID). It is easy to find your account ID, just hover over 'Company' on the ZOLL Online navigation bar.

    • Click Company on the nav bar to get your company ID.

    MCM Important information!: If you are in an MCM environment and are in a child company, hovering over Company on the navigation bar will only show you the Account ID of the parent company. Call Support to get the Account ID of the child companies. If you are in Implementation, you can obtain the Account IDs of your child companies from your account manager.

  • Username/Key and password (API credential): Not everyone can generate API credentials. You must be a Company Administrator in ZOLL Billing to have the correct permissions enabled.

Find out how to grant user permissions.

After the user has permissions set, generate the API credential.

Grant users permission to create the Username/Key and Password

The first step in generating the username/key and password is to give permissions to the user that will be administering the credential. The user must be a Company Administrator in ZOLL Billing.

  1. Log onto ZOLL Online and go to Admin > Billing > User Accounts.
  2. Go to the Administration roles & permissions banner and check the box next to Edit API credentials and View API credentials.
  3. Scroll down and find the NEMSIS import roles & permissions banner. Change the product access from no to yes.
  4. Click Save.
  5. The user will need to log off and back on to see the NEMSIS Import tile in Admin.

Create the API credentials - username/key and password

Note: If you have multiple ePCR vendors, each vendor will need their own key/password combination.
  1. Go to Admin > NEMSIS Import > API Credentials.
  2. Click the plus sign next to 'Add New API Credential' on the upper left of the screen. Read the message that displays. You can see the key later on but you won't see the password again so it is very important to note the password.
  3. Click Close.

  • Clicking a link for an existing key will display the key again but not the password for the key.
