DVA Claim — Pathology

How do I lodge a DVA claim for pathology services?

Use this endpoint. Each medical event must meet the referral requirement below.

Submit a DVA pathology claim. Set serviceTypeCode to P.

A pathology service can carry a collection date and time (collectionDateTime) and an accession date and time (accessionDateTime). Send both or neither. Both are required on every service in a medical event where any service sets s4b3ExemptInd.

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, a pathology claim submitted in hospital returns a claimId prefixed with #, for example #9876@. An out-of-hospital pathology claim returns a letter prefix, for example D0744@.

For the status codes, including what to do on 9777 and 3004, see Status codes. If a claim gets no response, follow When a claim gets no response, which also gives the client timeout to set.
