Elation Health API
Elation Health is a clinical-first, AI-powered EHR and medical billing platform built for independent primary care practices. Its developer platform exposes an OAuth2- and FHIR-first API so you can programmatically read patients, appointments, visit notes, problems, and billing data—and push updates like new charts, appointments, and claims—plus subscribe to webhooks for real-time resource events.
What is Elation Health?
Elation Health is a clinical-first, AI-powered EHR and medical billing platform purpose-built for independent primary care practices. Practices use Elation to chart with AI-assisted documentation, manage referrals and telehealth, run a patient portal, and process eligibility, claims, and ERA postings—all in a unified EHR-plus-billing platform. Elation also runs an open developer platform, with a developer sandbox and 300+ integrations, so builders can extend the clinical and billing workflows.
Core product areas include:
- EHR (Clinical Orders, Note Assist AI charting, Referral Management, Telehealth, Patient Passport portal, Elation Go mobile)
- Elation Billing (Real-Time Eligibility, ERA posting, claims processing, AI billing)
- Clinical-First AI (intelligent documentation and workflow enhancements)
- Developer Platform (FHIR-first API, developer sandbox, Partner Hub, 300+ integrations)
Common data entities:
- Patients, Charts, Demographics, Insurance Eligibility
- Appointments, Visit Notes, Clinical Orders, Referrals
- Problems, Medications, Allergies, Vitals, Lab Results
- Claims, ERA Postings, Eligibility Checks, CCDA Documents
- Tasks, Care Team Messages, Subscriptions (webhooks)
The Elation Health Integration Challenge
Practices run mission-critical clinical and billing workflows on Elation daily, but turning EHR data into reliable API-driven automation involves real friction:
- OAuth2 with Resource Owner Password Credentials: the grant model and per-application client credentials require careful, secure handling for headless automation
- BAA and HIPAA gates: developers must execute a Business Associate Agreement with each customer before accessing protected health information
- Strict rate limits: fewer than 3 calls/second and under 150,000 calls per 24 hours throttle bulk syncs and backfills
- Webhooks are programmatic-only: subscriptions have no UI and must be created via the API, with echo-prevention nuances to manage
- Mixed standards: a proprietary v2 REST API plus FHIR R4 / SMART on FHIR surfaces means two object models to reconcile
- Clinical-data sensitivity: visit notes, problems, medications, and labs demand precise field mapping and audit handling
How Supergood Creates Elation Health APIs
Supergood works with Elation's OAuth2 developer platform, FHIR R4 surfaces, and authenticated flows to deliver a resilient API layer for your Elation environment—across clinical and billing data—so you integrate once against consistent, normalized objects.
- Handles OAuth2 client credentials and token refresh securely within a managed session
- Respects Elation's rate limits with adaptive throttling, backoff, and scheduled batch syncs
- Normalizes responses across patients, appointments, visit notes, problems, medications, and billing for one consistent schema
- Manages webhook subscriptions programmatically and reconciles them with FHIR R4 and CCDA exports

Use Cases
Sync clinical records into a data warehouse
- Pull patients, problems, medications, and lab results from Elation into a single warehouse - Stream visit-note and appointment updates to downstream BI and care-coordination tools - Reconcile demographics and insurance across systems for a unified patient 360
Automate scheduling and intake workflows
- Create patient charts and book appointments without portal clicks - Run real-time eligibility checks at intake and attach results to the chart - Push referral and telehealth status to downstream CRM and intake systems
Streamline billing and claims
- Submit claims and post ERA data from Elation Billing into AR systems - Match eligibility checks and remittances against patient encounters - Surface denied and pending claims to revenue-cycle workflows
Power real-time event-driven integrations
- Subscribe to webhooks for patient, appointment, and visit-note events - Trigger downstream automations when a resource is saved, signed, or deleted - Keep external systems in sync without polling the Elation API

Frequently asked questions
Yes. Supergood normalizes data across Elation's EHR—patients, appointments, visit notes, problems, medications, and labs—and Elation Billing, including eligibility, claims, and ERA postings, so you integrate clinical and billing entities through one surface.
Supergood manages Elation's OAuth2 client credentials and token refresh within a secure session, so you get consistent authenticated access without building and maintaining the grant flow yourself.
Elation caps usage at under 3 calls per second and 150,000 calls per 24 hours. Supergood applies adaptive throttling, backoff, and scheduled batch syncs to stay within those limits while keeping data fresh.
Yes. Elation supports programmatic webhook subscriptions on resources like patients and appointments. Supergood manages those subscriptions and delivers normalized event payloads, including echo-prevention handling.
Yes. Elation offers FHIR R4 and SMART on FHIR surfaces alongside its v2 REST API. Supergood reconciles both so you can serve interoperability and certified health IT use cases through a single normalized schema.
