[POST] Documents

The POST documents method allows for an external vendor to save documents and mark them for review (optional). These documents would be checked for malware and subsequently saved to eDocuments (Patient, Payer, or Resource). If a document DOES NOT contain all necessary pieces of data, the request will either be rejected or will be found within My Tasks - eDocuments > Unsolicited Documents based upon the practice's Unsolicited Document Setup.

As of 8/25/23 this API ONLY ACCEPTS .pdf documents. Support for other document types will be supported in future versions.

Prerequisites & Configurations

Each practice has different requirements and configurations within its database that may be configured in order to further control specific workflows and ensure all appropriate data is either included, required, or defaulted to a practice-specified value. Related configurations:

*Vendor/Practice has received an apiKey from iSalus (see Access to RESTful Webservices)
*iSalus has enabled the "Unsolicited Documents" product flag enabled (iSalus Administrator Required)
Unsolicited Document Setup screen configured by a practice administrator or iSalus project contact

Unsolicited Document Setup: Determines required fields, defaults, and practice-defined values. Coordinate with the practice or project contact to gain further insight into any additional requirements that may have been configured.

Authentication & Headers

See Access to RESTful Webservices
Header = 'X-Api-Key: {apiKey}'
Header = 'X-Choice-Webservice-Account: {WebserviceAccountGUID}'

The X-Choice-Webservice-Account is a temporary requirement. In a near-term release, this will no longer be required in the request.
