Claim

Last updated: 24 Sep 2025

Introduction #

This module defines the data models used to manage healthcare claim workflows.

Basic usage #

To retrieve a claim by its identifier:

from canvas_sdk.v1.data.claim import Claim

claim = Claim.objects.get(id="9d2e0f58-338b-11ec-8d3d-0242ac130003")

To access diagnosis codes for a claim:

from canvas_sdk.v1.data.claim import Claim

claim = Claim.objects.get(id="9d2e0f58-338b-11ec-8d3d-0242ac130003")
diagnosis_codes = claim.diagnosis_codes.all().order_by("rank")

for diagnosis in diagnosis_codes:
    print(f"Rank {diagnosis.rank}: {diagnosis.code} - {diagnosis.display}")

Filtering #

from canvas_sdk.v1.data.claim import Claim

# Active claims only
active_claims = Claim.objects.active()
