Troubleshooting & Technical Details

The best troubleshooting approach to nearly any problem is to monitor the DentalXChange website. It shows which claims were successfully submitted, which ones have errors, and so on. Use it regularly to stay on top of claims.

When sending claims, receive 'authentication failed.authBadPwd' error.

This error is due to a bad password.

  1. Go to the DentalXChange website and verify that the user can login.
  2. Verify that the same password is entered for the clearinghouse in Open Dental.

Note: Passwords in DentalXChange are case sensitive. Be sure to use the correct capitalization when entering the DentalXChange password in Open Dental. Special characters (%, !, $, etc) are not allowed in Open Dental.

Uploads Fail, "A previous batch submission was found in an incomplete state."

After a failed upload, the next time that a user tries to send a claim, there is a warning. Resubmit the batch in question as well as the subsequent failed batch. Check the DentalXChange website to make sure all claims went through.

Can we use a terminal server / hosted app for DentalXChange?

Yes. The claim export path uses temporary subfolders when on a terminal server / hosted app. This allows multiple users to send claims simultaneously.
