Manual

Building

Getting Started

Once you have the library installed, it is very easy to use. First make sure you are using the CoverMyDotNet namespace. This can be done by adding this line to the top of your code file.

using CoverMyDotNet;

Now you will need to make a new client to interact with the api. The client needs to be supplied with both an apiId and an apiSecret. There are two ways of supplying these keys. By default, the client will use environment variables CMM_API_ID, CMM_API_SECRET and CMM_API_URL, alternatively, a client can be instantiated with parameters.

Client client = new Client(); //makes a new client object with keys from the environment

or

Client client = new Client("apiId", "apiSecret", "https://www.alt.api.covermymeds.com"); //note that the third parameter is optional and if none is supplied, will default to https://www.api.covermymeds.com

Create Request

Creates a new PA request and returns information relating to it.

var request = client.CreateRequest(new RequestAttributes()
{
  State = "OH",
  Patient = new PatientAttributes()
  {
    Name = "John"
  }
});
request.Patient.Name //John
request.Id //DF73GB
request.Tokens.First().Id //gq9vmqai2mkwewv1y55x Can be used to access the request in the future

Get Request(s)

var request = client.GetRequest("DF73GB");
request.Patient.Name //John
var requests = client.GetRequests(new string[]{"DF73GB", "ABC123", "9HGtZo"}); 
requests.Requests //contains a list of requests

Search Drugs

var drugResults = client.SearchDrugs("ambien");
drugResults // list of drug attributes
foreach(var v in drugResults.Drugs)
  Console.WriteLine(v.FullName + "  " + v.Id);

Get Drugs

var drug = client.GetDrug("018058");
if(drug)
  Console.WriteLine(drug.FullName + " comes in the form of " + drug.DosageForm);

Get Form

var form = client.GetForm("medco_general_pa_form_21039");
if(form)
  Console.WriteLine(form.Id + " " + form.Description);

Search Forms

var forms = client.SearchForms("064691", "OH", "bcbs");
foreach(var v in forms)
  Console.WriteLine(v.Name);

Post Indicators

var indicator = client.PostIndicator(new IndicatorAttributes()
		{
			Patient = new PatientAttributes()
			{
				FirstName = "Sally",
				LastName = "test4",
				DateOfBirth = DateTime.Parse("3/4/1990"),
				Email = "[email protected]",
				Address = new AddressAttributes()
			},
			Payer = new PayerAttributes()
			{
				Bin = "773836",
				PCN = "MOCKPBM",
				GroupId = "ABC1",
			},				
			Prescriber = new IndicatorPrescriberAttributes()
			{
				NPI = "1234567890",		
				LastName = "Dr. Jones",
				Address = new AddressAttributes()						
			},
			Pharmacy = new IndicatorPharmacyAttributes()
			{
				NPI = "1234567890",
				Address = new AddressAttributes()
			},
			Prescription = new IndicatorPrescriptionAttributes()
			{
				DrugId = "094563",
				Refills = 30,
				Quantity = 3					
			}
		});
		indicator.Prescription.PARequired //true

Search Indicators

var indicator = client.SearchIndicators(new IndicatorSearchAttributes()
		{
			Patient = new PatientAttributes()
			{
				FirstName = "Bob",
				LastName = "test4",
				DateOfBirth = DateTime.Parse("3/4/1990"),
				Email = "[email protected]",
				Address = new AddressAttributes()
			},
			Payer = new PayerAttributes()
			{
				Bin = "773836",
				PCN = "MOCKPBM",
				GroupId = "ABC1",
			},				
			Prescriber = new IndicatorPrescriberAttributes()
			{
				NPI = "1234567890",		
				LastName = "Dr. Jones",
				Address = new AddressAttributes()						
			},
			Pharmacy = new IndicatorPharmacyAttributes()
			{
				NPI = "1234567890",
				Address = new AddressAttributes()
			},
			Prescriptions = new List<IndicatorPrescriptionAttributes>()
			{
				new IndicatorPrescriptionAttributes()
				{
					DrugId = "094563",
					Refills = 30,
					Quantity = 3	
				},
				new IndicatorPrescriptionAttributes()
				{
					DrugId = "018058",
					Refills = 30,
					Quantity = 13	
				}
			}
		});
		foreach(var v in indicator.Prescriptions)
				Console.WriteLine("PA Required ? " + v.PARequired.ToString());

Request Pages

The CoverMyDotNet client will automatically follow 301 requests returned by the api.

var page = client.GetRequestPage("DF73GB","gq9vmqai2mkwewv1y55x");
foreach(var v in page.Forms)
{
  Console.WriteLine(v.Identifier + "\n");
  foreach(var q in v.QuestionSets)
    Console.WriteLine(q.Title);
}
