2:3.127.4 Messages

2:3.127.4.1 Cancel Claim Request Message

This message uses the HTTP POST method on the target Claims Manager endpoint that is a FAIS Claim $cancel operation. It is sent from a Claims Requestor.

2:3.127.4.1.1 Trigger Events

When a Claims Requestor needs to cancel a claim for a Patient to the Claims Manager, it submits the Cancel Claim Message.

2:3.127.4.1.2 Message Semantics

The Claims Requestor invokes the FAIS Claim $cancel operation on the Claims Manager. The operation is invoked by submitting an HTTP POST request to the Claims Manager at the path:

POST [base]/Claim/<resourceId>/$cancel

Where is the resource id of the claim being canceled.

The HTTP body MAY include a FHIR Parameters resource with the reason set to the reason for the cancellation.

2:3.127.4.1.3 Expected Actions

The Claims Manager SHALL process the cancellation and respond as per http://hl7.org/fhir/R4/operations.html#response, and if successful, with an HTTP 200 (OK) and a Cancel Claim Response Message.

The Claims Manager SHALL update the requested Claims resource as defined by internal business rules.

2:3.127.4.2 Cancel Claim Response Message

2:3.127.4.2.1 Trigger Events

The Claims Manager has a response or errors to report to the Claims Requestor. This MAY include a queued response.

2:3.127.4.2.2 Message Semantics

The Cancel Claim Response conforms to the FAIS ClaimResponse profile and is sent from the Claims Manager to the Claims Requestor. If the disposition of the claim can’t be handled synchronously, then the outcome element SHALL be set to queued and ClaimResponse SHALL include an id and persist on the Claims Manager so that the ITI-129 Track Claim transaction can be used to get updates on the response.

2:3.127.4.2.3 Expected Actions

How the Claims Requestor processes the response is determined by the implementation and beyond the scope of this profile.

2:3.127.5 CapabilityStatement Resource

The actors involved SHALL record audit events according to the Audit Event for Cancel Claim Transaction. See Audit Example for Cancel Claim from the Claims Requestor.
