Route status

Public reference baseline

Generated endpoint contract may be shown with caveats, but external publication still needs route registry and release evidence.

Publication status

Baseline reference only

Requires E6 route registry and E9 release evidence before external publication. Also requires E2 side-effect policy 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

Local write

May mutate QuickRCM records. It does not prove live payer, EHR, clearinghouse, payment, or communication execution.

Source artifact

docs/openapi/openapi.json

OpenAPI 3.1.0; API 1.0.0.

When to use this endpoint

Use this page as an internal baseline for the patient financials contract generated for POST /api/v1/patient-ar/collection-tasks/{taskId}/activities. External use still depends on route classification, release evidence, and endpoint-specific side-effect approval.

What this does now

Documents the generated POST /api/v1/patient-ar/collection-tasks/{taskId}/activities contract as a local write baseline endpoint.

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

Live external side effects, file contents, credentials, webhooks, SDK promises, and production recipes are still gated.

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	No file/artifact class inferred	OpenAPI text does not indicate file or artifact handling for this endpoint.
Ownership and storage keys	Not applicable unless a file field is present	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

Universal Idempotency-Key header support is not declared; retry only after checking endpoint-specific state.

Patient AR public API.

Patient AR public APIs expose organization-scoped patient accounts receivable account lookup, local account maintenance, patient-responsibility charge posting, local payment application, payment-plan setup, statement draft creation, deposit-batch reconciliation, and collection-task activity logging. The bearer API key selects the organization. Public callers should not send `organizationId` as a tenant selector; all account, patient, guarantor, facility, claim, charge, payment, plan, statement, deposit-batch, collection-task, activity, and assignee identifiers must resolve inside the authenticated organization. Read endpoints accept `patient-ar:read` or `patient-ar:write`; write endpoints require `patient-ar:write` plus Patient AR RBAC through the existing authorization helper. This public surface is intentionally conservative around money movement and outbound contact. Cash, check, wire, and other non-card payment records can be created locally, then applied to local charges. Card, debit, and ACH payment requests must use validation, dry-run, or queue-only controls and do not call Stripe directly from the public handler. Refund and void endpoints validate or return queue-only acknowledgements; they do not settle refunds, void external payments, or mutate payment rows inline. Statement creation creates a local draft only, and collection endpoints record local task/activity state without sending email, SMS, letters, calls, legal notices, or agency placements. Use synthetic examples only. Account numbers, MRNs, patient or guarantor references, contact details, notes, payment references, check numbers, and collection activity can be PHI or sensitive financial data. Do not include raw EDI, payer portal credentials, tokens, S3 keys, vendor payloads, transcripts, or real payment method identifiers in public examples.

What this endpoint does

Use case

Use this after a staff member or upstream workflow has completed a phone call, email, letter, text message, payment-plan action, payment receipt, adjustment, write-off, agency assignment, legal action, or other local collection event.

Before calling

Resolve the task in the same tenant. Prepare only the contact details and outcome needed for local auditability, using synthetic examples in docs.

Request and response behavior

Request guidance

`activityType` is required. Optional contact name, phone, email, subject, notes, outcome, promise-to-pay fields, and duration should be minimized to what the collection record needs. `durationSeconds` must be 0 through 86400.

`activityType` accepts PHONE_CALL, EMAIL, LETTER, TEXT_MESSAGE, PAYMENT_PLAN_CREATED, PAYMENT_PLAN_UPDATED, PAYMENT_RECEIVED, ADJUSTMENT_MADE, WRITE_OFF, AGENCY_ASSIGNED, LEGAL_ACTION, or OTHER.
Logging an EMAIL, LETTER, or TEXT_MESSAGE activity does not send that communication.
Contact fields can be PHI or sensitive financial context; examples must be synthetic.

Response semantics

HTTP 201 returns `resourceType: CollectionActivity`, `status: CREATED`, and `externalRisk: LOCAL_ONLY`. The handler creates a local activity, increments task contact attempts, updates last contact timestamp/outcome, and records promise-to-pay rollups when supplied.

The response is a local audit acknowledgement.
Task contact attempts are incremented by the handler.
Promise-to-pay fields update task rollups when supplied.

Errors and retries

Treat 404 as missing or wrong-organization task. Re-read activities or task rollup after timeouts before retrying because duplicate activity logs can affect contact counts.

400 can indicate invalid email, enum, duration, date, or amount values.
404 can mean the task is unavailable to this organization.
Avoid duplicate logging after timeouts without checking current task activity.

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.
