Appointment Slot

The Appointment slot APIs allows users to view and manage the appointment slots. These practice facing admin APIs allows you to perform the following actions:

  1. Create a new Appointment slot (for patients to book their appointments against)
  2. Freeze an existing Appointment slot (to ensure patients cannot book this slot)
  3. View all Appointment slots (using filters such as booked, un-booked)
  4. View all Appointment slots across all departments and providers
  5. Delete an existing Appointment slot (to ensure patients do not book against this slot)
  6. Cancel an existing patient Appointment in an Appointment Slot.

Two flags allow you to bypass the permissions set up around Web scheduling:

  • ignoreschedulablepermission
  • bypassscheduletimechecks

The open appointment slots functionality, designed for a patient scheduling an appointment online, looks, by default, for appointment reasons and obeys the practice's configuration around those reasons. (This configuration is generally done as part of the athenaCommunicator setup.) In cases where scheduling is done for other reasons (e.g., telemedicine, walk-in appointments via Digital Check-in, or other use cases), you may want to book by appointment type and to ignore the setup that was done controlling what appointments can be booked.

practiceid integer practiceid
appointmenttypeid integer Normally, an appointment reason ID should be used which will map to the correct underlying appointment type in athenaNet. This field will ignore the practice's existing setup for what should be scheduled. Please consult with athenahealth before using. Either an appointmenttypeid or a reasonid must be specified or no results will be returned.
reasonid array The athenaNet patient appointment reason ID, from GET /patientappointmentreasons. While this is not technically required due to some unusual use cases, it is highly recommended for most calls. We do allow a special value of -1 for the reasonid. This reasonid will return open, web-schedulable slots regardless of reason. However, slots returned using a search of -1 may return slots that are not bookable by any reason ID (they may be bookable by specific appointment type IDs instead). This argument allows multiple valid reason IDs to be specified (e.g. reasonid=1,2,3), so if you are looking for slots that match "any" reason, it is recommended that you enumerate the set of reasons you are looking for. Either a reasonid or an appointmenttypeid must be specified or no results will be returned. If a reasonid other than -1 is specified then a providerid must also be specified.
bypassscheduletimechecks boolean Bypass checks that usually require returned appointments to be some amount of hours in the future (as configured by the practice, defaulting to 24 hours), and also ignores the setting that only shows appointments for a certain number of days in the future (also configurable by the practice, defaulting to 90 days).
enddate string End of the appointment search date range (mm/dd/yyyy). Inclusive. Defaults to seven days from startdate.
departmentid array The athenaNet department ID.
providerid array The athenaNet provider ID. Required if a reasonid other than -1 is specified.
startdate string Start of the appointment search date range (mm/dd/yyyy). Inclusive. Defaults to today.
ignoreschedulablepermission boolean By default, we show only appointments that are are available to scheduled via the API. This flag allows you to bypass that restriction for viewing available appointments (but you still may not be able to schedule based on this permission!). This flag does not, however, show the full schedule (that is, appointments that are already booked).
showfrozenslots boolean By default, we hide appointments that are frozen from being returned via the API. This flag allows you to show frozen slots in the set of results returned.
limit integer Number of entries to return (default 1000, max 10000)Please note that this endpoint has a different default and max than normal.
offset integer Starting point of entries; 0-indexed

appointmentid integer This is the ID of the appointment to use when booking. To be clear about the behind-the-scenes functionality, this is technically the first ID that will be used.
