# Get an insurer claim

> **Permission:** `insurance.claims:read`

Get one claim with its lines.

Includes `items` (billed and approved figures per line), `diagnoses` and `documents` (metadata only). A claim of another insurer, a draft and a restricted patient's claim are the same 404.

openapi: 3.1.0
info:
  title: ClinikEHR API
  version: 1.0.0
  description: >-
    Server-to-server REST API for a clinic's own data, reached with a key the
    clinic (or a developer workspace) creates in the developer portal.


    Authenticate every request with `Authorization: Bearer <key>`. Test keys
    reach only your workspace's own synthetic sandbox; live keys reach the
    clinic that created them. Lists wrap their rows as `{ data, has_more,
    next_cursor }`; single resources are returned directly. Errors are
    `application/problem+json` (RFC 9457) with a stable `code`.


    Write requests accept an `Idempotency-Key` header so a retry never repeats a
    change. See the guides for authentication, permissions, pagination, rate
    limits and retries.

        a coverage for that payer (`coverage_exists`, the existing coverage's id
        is in `detail` when the caller can see that patient), a payer the clinic
        has not enabled in Settings → Insurance (`payer_not_enabled`), or
        `coverage_active: true` sent through the API
        (`activation_requires_staff` — only clinic staff activate a coverage),
        or a change to an outside care provider the clinic added rather than an
        app (`care_provider_clinic_managed` — only the clinic can change or
        remove it).
