Medprax Updates
It is important to do weekly Medprax updates so that the following information will be kept up to date:
1. Medical aids and plans (new or discontinued plans);
2. Routing codes for switching purposes;
2. Medicine and material prices;
3. Nappi codes (discontinued codes removed and new codes added)
4. Pack sizes.
This article provides step by step instructions on how to:
A Save the Medprax update file
B Update Medprax in GoodX.
A SAVING THE MEDPRAX UPDATE FILE
There are two ways to save a Medprax update file onto your server:
1. Saving the update file which was received via email.
2. Using the Medprax Updater tool.
1. Saving the update file which was received via email:
If you are registered with Medprax, you should receive your update files via emails. Download those files, and extract them to your Medprax folder on your GoodX drive (eg X:\medprax). Follow this link if you are unsure which drive your GoodX runs on.
Extracting a file:
Copy the Medprax file that you've downloaded from the email and navigate to My Computer - your GoodX Drive - Medprax
Right click on that file and choose Extract Here
Click on - Yes to all
2. Using the Medprax Updater tool:
The Medprax updater tool is available directly from Medprax. They will install and set up the tool for your practice.
Open the Medprax Updater tool and simply follow the on-screen prompts to import your updated Medprax file
B UPDATING MEDPRAX IN GOODX:
Once the new Medprax file has been imported into the correct GoodX folder, navigate to GoodX Manage in your navigator. Follow all three steps to complete a full Medprax update.
1. Update Medical Aids:
Navigate to Updates > Medprax > Update Medical Aids.
Click OK to continue
2. Update stock:
To update stock (medicine & material), navigate to Updates > Medprax

1. Pharmaceuticals - Update and Add: will update the items and add all new items as active
2. Pharmaceuticals - Update only: will update the items, but not add new items
3. Pharmaceuticals - Update new items as inactive: will update items and will add all new items as inactive
4. Pharmaceuticals - Set all items to default markup values: will add all items to the default markup value as setup under system options.
You can update both medicine and materials at the same time.
