Deep Dive: Payeezy-Epic Integration Architecture

Our integration solution establishes a robust, secure, and highly efficient bridge between Payeezy and Epic, built on an API-first, event-driven architecture and orchestrated by a modern iPaaS. This ensures real-time data flow and maximum operational agility.

Data Flow Steps

Event Trigger: A payment action in Payeezy (e.g., successful capture, refund, chargeback via webhook) or a financial event in Epic (e.g., new invoice, refund request via FHIR subscription/Open Epic event) initiates the integration flow.

iPaaS Ingestion: The iPaaS platform securely receives the event data from either system.

Data Transformation & Harmonization: The iPaaS's visual mapping engine transforms the incoming data. For Payeezy data, it's mapped to Epic's FHIR standards (e.g., `Payment Transaction` to `Claim.payment`, `Customer` to `Patient`). For Epic data, it's mapped to Payeezy's payment API requirements.

Business Logic & Validation: Conditional logic and validation rules (e.g., checking for duplicate transactions, ensuring data completeness) are applied within the iPaaS workflow.

API Call to Target System: The iPaaS makes an authenticated API call to the target system (Payeezy API for payments/refunds, Epic FHIR API for updates to Patient, Claim, Encounter, etc.).

Error Handling & Retry: Robust error handling with exponential backoff and dead-letter queues manages transient and persistent failures.

Status Update & Notification: The target system processes the request. The iPaaS captures the response, updates the source system (if bidirectional), and generates audit logs and alerts as needed.

Data Touchpoints

Payeezy: Payment Transaction, Customer, Order, Refund, Payment Token, Settlement Batch, Chargeback, Fraud Score, Merchant Account
Epic: Patient, Appointment, Encounter, ServiceRequest, Observation, Practitioner, Organization, Claim, MedicationRequest, Location, Invoice (custom/derived)

"Payeezy (Webhooks/API) <--> iPaaS (Connectors, Transformations, Logic, AI) <--> Epic (FHIR APIs/Open Epic Events). Data flows bidirectionally, driven by events and orchestrated by the iPaaS, with a focus on real-time synchronization of payment and patient financial data."

Automated Patient Co-pay & Bill Payments

When a patient pays a co-pay or an outstanding bill online or at a clinic via Payeezy, the payment transaction is instantly captured and posted to their corresponding account and claim in Epic, updating their financial status in real-time.

Integration Steps:

  1. 0 Patient submits payment through an online portal or POS system connected to Payeezy.
  2. 1 Payeezy processes the Payment Transaction (authorization/capture).
  3. 2 Payeezy webhook notifies iPaaS of successful transaction (Payment Transaction entity).
  4. 3 iPaaS retrieves relevant Epic Patient and Claim/Invoice details.
  5. 4 iPaaS maps Payeezy transaction data to Epic's FHIR Claim/Invoice entity, updating `amountPaid` and `status`.
  6. 5 Epic's Patient record is updated, reflecting the new balance.
  7. 6 Confirmation email/SMS sent to patient via Epic's communication system.

Technical Documentation

API Endpoints & Data Logic

Technical details for developers and architects.

Method Endpoint Purpose
POST /v1/payments Process new payment authorizations and captures for patient payments or vendor procurements.
POST /v1/payments/{transaction_id}/void Void an authorized but uncaptured transaction, typically for canceled patient services before settlement.
POST /v1/payments/{transaction_id}/refund Process a full or partial refund for a captured transaction, triggered by Epic's refund workflows.
GET /v1/transactions Retrieve transaction history or details, useful for reconciliation and audit trails.
POST /v1/security/tokens Generate or manage payment tokens for recurring billing and card-on-file scenarios, enhancing PCI compliance.

Transformation Logic

  • Data Type Conversion: Convert string fields to numeric, date formats, etc., as required by the target system.
  • Currency Conversion: If operating in multiple currencies, apply real-time or daily exchange rates.
  • Code Harmonization: Map Payeezy status codes (e.g., 'APPROVED') to Epic's internal status codes (e.g., 'Paid'). Map `cardType` to Epic's payment method enumeration.
  • Conditional Logic: Apply rules like 'if `Fraud Score.riskLevel` is HIGH, then create Epic `Task` and hold payment'.
  • Default Values: Assign default values for optional fields if not provided by the source system.
  • Data Enrichment: Enrich Payeezy data with additional patient context from Epic (e.g., `Encounter` details) for reporting purposes.

🛡️ Error Handling

  • Payeezy API downtime: Automated retries, circuit breaker, and notification to operations.
  • Epic FHIR API validation errors: Detailed error messages logged, data quarantined in dead-letter queue for review, and AI suggests common fixes.
  • Mismatched `orderId` or `Patient.identifier`: Alert generated, flow routed to manual review queue in iPaaS.
  • Insufficient funds for refund: Notification to billing staff via Epic task, with reason code.
  • Rate limit exceeded: iPaaS automatically throttles and retries with exponential backoff.
