Set Up the Billing App
SnapBill is the billing app at app.snapbill.ca . These five steps take you from a new account to your first claim.
In the SnapBill billing app
Create claims, look up codes and submit to OHIP in the SnapBill billing app at app.snapbill.ca. Creating an account is free.
1. Create Your Account
Sign up at app.snapbill.ca with your email or your Google or Microsoft account, and pick your specialty so fees are priced for you. You can look up codes and draft claims straight away. Your OHIP billing number is only needed when you connect to OHIP in step 2.
After signing up, you can optionally enable two-factor authentication for added security.
2. Connect to OHIP
You can draft claims without this step. To submit them electronically, link your OPS BPS account:
- Go to Settings > OHIP Connection
- Enter your MCEDT credentials (EDT user ID and password)
- SnapBill will verify the connection
If you don’t have an OPS BPS account yet, follow the OPS BPS Registration guide first. You’ll also need to designate SnapBill as your provider.
3. Add Your First Patient
Navigate to Patients in the sidebar and click Add Patient. Enter:
- Patient name and date of birth
- OHIP health card number and version code
- Gender and province
You can also add patients by scanning documents with Snap OCR or importing from another system.
4. Create and Submit a Claim
See the full walkthrough in Your First Claim.
5. Find Your Way Around
The app opens on your Dashboard, a summary of recent claims, payments and anything that needs your attention. Everything else is in the sidebar; the tour of the billing app walks through it.
