Account account-balance is different from the gurantor account-balance.

[jashan kaur]

Hi,

can someone help me with this below issue?

We are follow the following steps to fetch the account-balance and, guarantor details and  guarantor account-balance

Step 1: Call the below api to get the account-balance and guarantor details( guarantor  id).

GET Request - patient, identifier, and type https://fhir-open.cerner.com/r4/<service-id>/Account?identifier=https://fhir.cerner.com/<service-id>/statement-number|<statement-number>&patient=<patient-id>&type=statement

 

"extension": [ { "url": "https://fhir-ehr.cerner.com/r4/StructureDefinition/account-balance", "valueMoney": { "value": "2000.00", "currency": "USD" } },

From response get the value of gurantor id and account-balance.

Step 2:

To get the gurantor account details, Used the below api and this api use the gurantor id received from the response from Step 1 api.

GET https://fhir-open.cerner.com/r4/<service-id>/Account/<gurantor id>

 

"extension": [ { "url": "https://fhir-ehr.cerner.com/r4/StructureDefinition/account-balance", "valueMoney": { "value": "12500.00", "currency": "USD" } },

The value of account-balance received from this api 12500 is different from the value account-balance get in step 1 2000.



Could someone tell the why the value of account-balance is different in both the api?

We are expecting the value of account-balance in step 1 should be the total of guarantor account-balance. which mean in step 1 api the value should be 12500.00 not  2000

Thanks

The statement account balance is the total of all the guarantor-account balances that were billed to the guarantor at the time of statement generation and that balance amount should never change. The guarantor-account balance is the active balance for that self-pay receivable and will change as payments and adjustments are posted to it. It should not be assumed that the statement balance amount and guarantor-account balance amount are the same value. You can also have a statement account resource that had multiple guarantor-balance accounts billed on it.
