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 billing and claims contract generated for PUT /api/v1/billing/cdm/{cdmId}. External use still depends on route classification, release evidence, and endpoint-specific side-effect approval.

What this does now

Documents the generated PUT /api/v1/billing/cdm/{cdmId} 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.

HeaderRequiredCurrent statusNotes
AuthorizationYesCurrentBearer <QUICKRCM_API_KEY>. OpenAPI security: bearerAuth.
Idempotency-KeyNoTarget/futureDo not claim universal header support until E3 and OpenAPI metadata exist.
X-Request-IdNoTarget/futureUse 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.

TopicStatusGuidance
Current idempotencyNo idempotency mechanism is declared.Do not retry blindly. Check resource, status, batch, or job state before repeating the request.
Universal headerNot declaredDo not document universal Idempotency-Key support until OpenAPI and E3 evidence declare it.
Conflict behaviorUnresolvedSame-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.

TopicStatusGuidance
Immediate responseNo 202 response declaredOpenAPI does not declare HTTP 202 for this operation.
Polling and terminal statesNot indicated by OpenAPINo generic polling contract is published from this page.
Later side effectsNot provenDo 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.

TopicStatusGuidance
Content classNo file/artifact class inferredOpenAPI text does not indicate file or artifact handling for this endpoint.
Ownership and storage keysNot applicable unless a file field is presentTenant ownership must be proven before retrieval or upload docs. Never expose storage keys as public identifiers.
URLs, scanning, and retentionUnresolved unless endpoint-specific evidence existsShort-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.

Billing public API.

Billing public API endpoints expose organization-scoped hospital billing encounters, coding review actions, physician query responses, batch imports, and Charge Description Master (CDM) maintenance. The surface is centered on `BillingEncounter` records and related review artifacts: code entries, POA indicators, DRG/E/M summaries, processing logs, physician queries, and CDM rate records. Tenant scope is resolved from the bearer API key. Read endpoints accept `billing:read` or `billing:write`; create, update, queue, finalize, code-edit, physician-response, and CDM mutation endpoints require `billing:write`. Callers should pass QuickRCM identifiers returned by prior reads, imports, or adjacent setup workflows; do not send organization IDs as an authority signal, raw EDI, payer portal credentials, transcripts, S3 keys, signed URLs, full vendor payloads, or unnecessary clinical narrative. The current Billing OpenAPI contract has detailed schemas for reads and queued workflows, but several mutation endpoints still use the generic mutation schema in generated OpenAPI while their handlers return concrete data. Client-facing docs should distinguish generated-schema guarantees from handler-observed runtime response fields, avoid promising unrelated Prisma columns as stable contract, and still recommend a follow-up read after queued workflows or state transitions when downstream processing is asynchronous.

What this endpoint does

Use case
Use this for annual CDM review, rate updates, RVU changes, effective/expiration date changes, note changes, or active-flag corrections.
Before calling
Read the CDM entry first and decide which fields should change. Prepare a concise `changeReason` when useful for audit context.

Request and response behavior

Request guidance
Send `updates` with at least one field. Numeric rate/RVU fields must be nonnegative or null where nullable. `effectiveDate` and `expirationDate` are nullable ISO 8601 date-times. `notes` is nullable and capped at 2000 characters; `changeReason` is capped at 500 characters.
  • `updates` must contain at least one field.
  • `standardCharge` changes are audited with action PRICE_CHANGE; other changed fields use UPDATED.
  • Date strings are converted to Date values by the handler for effective/expiration fields.
Response semantics
HTTP 200 returns `success: true` with the serialized updated CDM record returned by the handler. The handler also writes CDM audit rows; the response is not an empty acknowledgement.
  • Runtime response contains the updated CDM record.
  • Generated OpenAPI currently uses the generic mutation response schema.

Errors and retries

400 can mean `updates` is empty or a field failed validation. 404 means the CDM entry is missing or outside the tenant. After timeout, getBillingCdmEntry before retrying to avoid duplicate audit rows.

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.
