Route status

Needs publication review

The endpoint contract is visible, but QuickRCM has not approved it yet for normal production API use.

Publication status

Needs publication review

Requires product, security/compliance, tenancy, side-effect, or module-owner approval before production public API use. Also requires E2 side-effect policy and E4 file and artifact governance before production recipes, SDK inclusion, or try-out access.

Authentication

Bearer API key declared

OpenAPI declares bearer API-key security for this operation.

Tenant context

API-key organization

API-key organization context is authoritative; request organizationId is not a public tenant selector.

Side-effect summary

Payment or credit

May affect payments, credits, refunds, voids, or financial posting. Requires explicit product approval before publication.

Source artifact

OpenAPI 3.1.0; API 1.0.0.

When to use this endpoint

Use this page as an internal baseline for the revenue integrity contract generated for POST /api/v1/revenue-integrity/charge-lag-reports. External use still depends on route classification, release evidence, and endpoint-specific side-effect approval.

What this does now

Shows the generated OpenAPI shape for POST /api/v1/revenue-integrity/charge-lag-reports, but keeps the route out of ordinary production API positioning until review is complete.

What this does not do

Does not prove external GA readiness, SDK readiness, live production execution, or complete module behavior. Mutating behavior still needs side-effect and retry evidence.

Not public from this page

Do not publish this endpoint as an ordinary developer API until its unresolved decisions are closed.

Headers and tenancy

Current headers and tenant authority. Target headers stay labeled as future until OpenAPI and release evidence declare them.

Header	Required	Current status	Notes
Authorization	Yes	Current	Bearer <QUICKRCM_API_KEY>. OpenAPI security: bearerAuth.
Idempotency-Key	No	Target/future	Do not claim universal header support until E3 and OpenAPI metadata exist.
X-Request-Id	No	Target/future	Use for support correlation only after approved; not declared as a standard OpenAPI header today.

Required scopes

Unclassified until E6 route metadata exists; do not infer scopes from route names.

Wrong-org behavior

Tenant-safe 404, empty list, or 403 is endpoint-specific and remains an evidence gap until E1 is closed.

Actor and audit

No public actor, audit, or correlation contract is published from OpenAPI alone.

Idempotency and retries

Retry behavior is documented conservatively because universal idempotency headers are not declared.

Topic	Status	Guidance
Current idempotency	Request body exposes an endpoint-specific idempotencyKey compatibility field.	Retry only with the documented key location and after checking endpoint state; 409 behavior and retention still need release evidence.
Universal header	Not declared	Do not document universal Idempotency-Key support until OpenAPI and E3 evidence declare it.
Conflict behavior	Unresolved	Same-key changed-payload, in-flight retry, fingerprint scope, and TTL behavior remain endpoint-specific evidence gaps.

Async jobs and polling

Queued work is accepted work, not proof of completed workflow execution.

Topic	Status	Guidance
Immediate response	No 202 response declared	OpenAPI does not declare HTTP 202 for this operation.
Polling and terminal states	Not indicated by OpenAPI	No generic polling contract is published from this page.
Later side effects	Not proven	Do not infer background execution beyond the documented response.

Files and artifacts

File-like routes need content-class, ownership, scanning, retention, and URL policy evidence before public recipes.

Topic	Status	Guidance
Content class	Potential file or artifact	Documents, PDFs, reports, transcripts, EDI, OCR, or generated artifacts need E4 classification before public examples.
Ownership and storage keys	Evidence required	Tenant ownership must be proven before retrieval or upload docs. Never expose storage keys as public identifiers.
URLs, scanning, and retention	Unresolved unless endpoint-specific evidence exists	Short-lived URLs, MIME limits, checksums, scanner status, retention, expiration, and legal hold behavior are not implied by OpenAPI examples.

Publication warnings

This endpoint needs explicit product, security/compliance, tenancy, or side-effect approval before publication.
Universal Idempotency-Key header support is not declared; retry only after checking endpoint-specific state.
File and artifact examples must stay metadata-only until scanning, retention, ownership, and URL policy are approved.

Revenue Integrity public API.

Revenue Integrity APIs expose organization-scoped controls for dashboard metrics, underpayment recovery case lists, charge reconciliation, charge lag reporting, charge capture audits, operating room reconciliation, coding validation, contract rate validation, implant recovery tracking, underpayment appeal tracking, recovery recording, contract setup, and manual underpayment checks. The bearer API key selects the organization. Public callers should not send an `organizationId` selector in these requests. Read endpoints accept `revenue-integrity:read` or `revenue-integrity:write`; write endpoints require `revenue-integrity:write`. Referenced claims, patients, facilities, billing encounters, payer configurations, contracts, charge reconciliation sessions, charge reconciliation items, and underpayment cases must belong to the authenticated organization. This public surface is conservative. Some endpoints create or update local Revenue Integrity records. Other endpoints return `202 Accepted` for queued, validated, or dry-run local workflows. Those responses do not mean QuickRCM made a direct payer call, contacted a payer portal, submitted an appeal externally, changed an Electronic Health Record (EHR), posted cash, adjudicated a claim, or received a payer decision. Use synthetic examples and keep notes, descriptions, invoice identifiers, source record identifiers, and appeal references free of unnecessary Protected Health Information (PHI), raw Electronic Data Interchange (EDI), raw Electronic Remittance Advice (ERA), payer payloads, transcripts, credentials, tokens, S3 keys, and payer portal secrets. Queued workflow controls are consistent across the public Revenue Integrity endpoints that expose them: `validateOnly` validates ownership and request shape without creating a queued workflow; `dryRun` simulates the workflow when `validateOnly` is false; otherwise the API records a queued local workflow request. `queueOnly: false` by itself is not a request for direct payer, clearinghouse, or EHR execution.

What this endpoint does

Use case

Use this endpoint to snapshot charge lag reporting inputs for operational monitoring or dashboard refreshes.

Before calling

Authenticate with write scope. If supplying `facilityId`, resolve it from the same organization.

Request and response behavior

Request guidance

`periodStart` and `periodEnd` are required ISO datetimes. `facilityId` is optional. The API accepts `idempotencyKey` but does not guarantee duplicate suppression.

`periodStart` and `periodEnd` must be ISO datetimes.
The endpoint does not expose department, payer, or provider filters.
Use a caller-side idempotency policy around repeated period snapshots.

Response semantics

HTTP 201 returns a local report id when available, status `CREATED`, mode `created`, and `meta.organizationId`. The immediate response does not include detailed lag metrics.

`status` is `CREATED` on success.
Dashboard lag metrics are read through `getRevenueIntegrityDashboard`.

Errors and retries

Fix invalid datetime or facility identifiers before retrying. After a timeout, check for an existing report covering the same period before creating another.

404 can indicate a supplied facility is not in the authenticated organization.
400 can indicate malformed date-time input.

Template boundary before examples

The route class, authentication state, tenancy rule, side-effect mode, idempotency status, async behavior, file policy, warnings, links, and evidence above are part of the endpoint contract. Treat generated examples below as internal baseline aids until release evidence closes.
