The api docs have NHS and PPS number field for UK and Ireland but not one for Medicare (Australia) that i can see of. Coming from a legacy system which did not record medicare expiry date, the migration to Dentally meant the medicare number was inserted into notes, while the IRN (individual ref number) inserted into Health Fund Patient ID field. We are updating the Medicare number of patients and could not easily update it into the Medicare number field because of the lack of API endpoints. I hope this is in the works soon.

adding to that. theres also no endpoint to upload attachments to correspondance which is such a shame. We are trying to digitize all forms and integrate with dentally, but without having the ability to upload a copy of the forms/contracts onto a patients file automatically its really just a half solution.
