Overview #

Here are the key points needed to get set up and submitting AIR records. See below for further details on each point.

1. Complete your development testing in the Sandbox environment. Let us know when you’re ready to go live so we can check your implementation. We will issue you with Production oAuth keys.
2. Using the production keys, use the oauth/token endpoint obtain a token for subsequent requests.
3. Create one or more locations and add providers to those locations with the locations and providers endpoints. In addition to registering a provider number in our API, if a provider number hasn’t been used for electronic processing before there may be some further setup required in PRODA or with Medicare eBuisness. We can provide guidance on this, however the provider must complete their PRODA registration.
4. You can check that the provider is active and has the required Authorisation Access to interact with AIR using the “List all providers at a location” call, which returns the Access permissions.
5. Get the current list of the vaccine codes and equivalencies with the air/vaccine_codes endpoint.
6. It’s a good idea to use the verify endpoint to check Medicare details prior to submitting any data to AIR. This will ensure a high acceptance rate.
7. You’re good to go! You can now submit vaccine encounters, request details of past vaccine episodes, fetch a PDF version, and check if an individual has contraindications, natural immunity or is part of a vaccine trial.
