CDA Digital IDs

Digital ID's are certificates installed to the server that allow claim submission.

For Canada users, both ITRANS and ITRANS 2.0 require digital IDs.

Install Provider Certificates

Each dentist sending claims must have a CDA Digital ID (certificate) installed. These certificates should be installed to the server hosting ITRANS 2.0
