Data Snapshots is a service provided by CollaborateMD which takes current data such as patient demographics, codes, appointments, payers, provider list, facility, charge, etc. and captures (exports) a snapshot of the data. The data can be exported into several hundred files in .DAT format that is a tab-delimited or into an open-source relational database management system (RDBMS) known as MySQL.
The export includes Data Sets from the following sections of the application:
Authorizations, Activity, Appt, Appt Types, Charge, Professional Claims, Claim Status, CPT Code, Credit, Facility, ICD Code, Location, Patient, Patient Notes, Payor, Practice, Provider, Referring, Remittance, Resources, Claim ICD Codes, ICD Procedure Codes, Institutional Claims, Insurance Parties, Insurance Policies, Payments, Insurance Check, Inventory Codes, Revenue Codes, and more.

Data Snapshots are overwritten each day. Please make sure you download before the next Data snapshot is generated. Auth Reps will receive confirmation and instructions on downloading the data snapshot(s) via the Messaging section of the application.
Limitations:
- No specific dates (past or present) can be captured within the export. The data snapshot will run at 1:00 AM EST on the scheduled day, therefore the date must be a future date.
- No specific criteria (e.g., ONLY Patient data set info) can be captured, as the Data Snapshots captures all of the data sets specified above.
- Data Snapshots will only be available to download after 6:00 AM EST on the scheduled day.
- Document Imaging is NOT included.
- The data can only be used to import into other software solutions (e.g., Business Intelligence, Collections, etc.).
- In accordance with HIPAA rules and regulations, CollaborateMD will NOT provide users, admins, or third party vendors this information, as the Data Snapshots contain PHI & PII.
