Submit a DVA pathology claim. Set `serviceTypeCode` to `P`. Each pathology service requires a collection date/time (`collectionDateTime`) and accession date/time (`accessionDateTime`). These must both be supplied together and must not be after the medical event date/time. #### Referral Requirement Each medical event must satisfy one of: - A pathology request (`referral` with `typeCode: P`) - `referralOverrideCode: N` (not required) - `selfDeemedCode: SD` on at least one service #### Claim ID On success, pathology claims submitted in hospital return a `claimId` prefixed with `#` (e.g. `#9876@`). Out-of-hospital pathology returns an alpha prefix (e.g. `D0744@`). For the numeric status codes, see [DVA Integration](/dva).

Submit a DVA pathology claim. Set serviceTypeCode to P.

Each pathology service requires a collection date/time (collectionDateTime) and accession date/time (accessionDateTime). These must both be supplied together and must not be after the medical event date/time.

Referral Requirement

Each medical event must satisfy one of:

  • A pathology request (referral with typeCode: P)
  • referralOverrideCode: N (not required)
  • selfDeemedCode: SD on at least one service

Claim ID

On success, pathology claims submitted in hospital return a claimId prefixed with # (e.g. #9876@). Out-of-hospital pathology returns an alpha prefix (e.g. D0744@).

For the numeric status codes, see DVA Integration.

Optional. Supply a unique transaction ID in the format urn:uuid:{MinorId}{16 hex chars} (33 characters total, e.g. urn:uuid:MDE00000a1b2c3d4e5f6a7b8). If the same correlationId is submitted twice, the second request is rejected with error 9777. If omitted, RebateRight generates one automatically.

Response
