Create a Charge Capture from pre-encounter patient and appointment

Beta

Create a Charge Capture from a pre-encounter patient and appointment. This endpoint is intended to be used by consumers who are managing patients and appointments in the pre-encounter service and is currently under development. Consumers who are not taking advantage of the pre-encounter service should use the standard create endpoint.

At encounter creation time, information from the provided patient and appointment objects will be populated where applicable. In particular, the following fields are populated from the patient and appointment objects:

  • Patient
  • Referring Provider
  • Subscriber Primary
  • Subscriber Secondary
  • Referral Number
  • Responsible Party
  • Guarantor

Note that these fields should not be populated in the ChargeCaptureData property of this endpoint, as they will be overwritten at encounter creation time.

Utilizing this endpoint opts you into automatic updating of the encounter when the patient or appointment is updated, assuming the encounter has not already been submitted or adjudicated.
