Create and Submit a DVP Billing Submission Praxis Desk

Group your DVP forms into a billing submission and transmit it electronically to the insurance carrier.

Requirements

• At least one DVP form with status Open exists.
• You have the DVP Create and DVP Upload permissions.
• Either your O-Card (practice card) is valid, or you have a DVP contract partner set up. At least one of these is required.

3. Fill in the form:
   • Insurance carrier: Select the carrier you are billing (e.g. ÖGK).
   • O-Card (Praxis customers with e-card): Select the O-Card you use to sign the submission. As a Desk customer (without e-card), select a DVP contract partner instead — the field appears as an alternative to the O-Card.

   • Location: Select the practice location. This field is only required when using an O-Card.
