Same Day Delete lets a practice **withdraw an interactive patient claim** that was sent **earlier the same calendar day**. Medicare only allows the delete when the original claim was **accepted and assessed** (final status **`MEDICARE_ASSESSED`**). **Matching the original submission:** use the **same transaction correlation**, **location context**, and **patient details** as the claim you are withdrawing, sent through this API. **Headers and registration:** use the same Medicare claiming header pattern as your other interactive patient claims (including `dhs-correlationId` and `dhs-auditId`, which Medicare uses in its business rules). Your organisation must have suitable **PRODA** access and a **Notice of Intent (NOI)** that covers interactive claiming **and** same-day delete. **Messages from Medicare:** when you surface errors to end users, show **`serviceMessage[].reason`** **exactly as returned** — do not shorten, paraphrase, or “improve” the wording. Field rules, lengths, formats, and examples are on the **request body**, **`200`**, and **`400`** schemas below.

Same Day Delete lets a practice withdraw an interactive patient claim that was sent earlier the same calendar day. Medicare only allows the delete when the original claim was accepted and assessed (final status MEDICARE_ASSESSED).

Matching the original submission: use the same transaction correlation, location context, and patient details as the claim you are withdrawing, sent through this API.

Headers and registration: use the same Medicare claiming header pattern as your other interactive patient claims (including dhs-correlationId and dhs-auditId, which Medicare uses in its business rules). Your organisation must have suitable PRODA access and a Notice of Intent (NOI) that covers interactive claiming and same-day delete.

Messages from Medicare: when you surface errors to end users, show serviceMessage[].reason exactly as returned — do not shorten, paraphrase, or “improve” the wording.

Field rules, lengths, formats, and examples are on the request body, 200, and 400 schemas below.

Request

Body for a same-day delete. It identifies the original claim’s transaction and supplies the patient and reasonCode Medicare uses to validate the delete.

Medicare ties the delete to the original claim using dhs-correlationId (transaction correlation) and dhs-auditId (location / audit context), together with the values in this JSON.

correlationIdstringRequired

Correlation / transaction id for the original interactive claim to delete. It must refer to a claim Medicare can match for the same calendar day and same location as this delete request. If nothing matches, Medicare often returns 9775 (see the 400 response — serviceMessage[].code).

sameDayDeleteobjectRequired

Patient identity and Medicare card details must match the original claim. reasonCode is required.

Response

OK — delete accepted. When Medicare removes the claim, status is SUCCESS.

statusenum

Outcome when Medicare accepts the same-day delete.

Allowed values:
