DFT: Detailed Financial Transaction

DFT posts charges and financial transactions against a patient account: a procedure performed, a supply used, an adjustment made. The transactions themselves are FT1 segments.

Recognising DFT messages

DFT announces itself in MSH-9 like this:

MSH-9DFT^P03^DFT_P03

MSH-9.1DFTmessage code: what kind of message this is (detailed financial transaction)
MSH-9.2P03trigger event: what happened in the real world: post detail financial transactions
MSH-9.3DFT_P03message structure: which segments to expect, and in what order

How to use these specifications explains MSH-9 in full, with a worked example.

Message structures

DFT takes 2 structures.

DFT_P03: Post Detail Financial Transactions

Sent when one thing happens: P03: Post Detail Financial Transactions.

You must always send: MSH, EVN, PID, FT1. Everything else is optional, or required only inside a group you chose to send.

R inside a group means required of that group. Send the group and you must include that segment; leave the group out and it never appears. This structure has 12 such groups: VISIT, COMMON_ORDER, TIMING_QUANTITY, ORDER, OBSERVATION, FINANCIAL, FINANCIAL_PROCEDURE, FINANCIAL_COMMON_ORDER, FINANCIAL_TIMING_QUANTITY, FINANCIAL_ORDER, FINANCIAL_OBSERVATION, INSURANCE.

Trigger events

The trigger event is the real-world thing that made the message get sent. DFT defines 2.
