### Operation: $process-message

The RTPBC request is submitted using the $process-message operation on the processor's claim server…

- URL: [base]/$process-message

#### Process-message parameter and response

Like the option above, the $process-message operation takes a single FHIR® resource input parameter consisting of a Bundle containing the Claim resource and referenced supporting resources, and returns a Bundle containing a ClaimResponse and supporting resources.

In addition, this method includes a MessageHeader resource in both the request and response.

- In the request, the MessageHeader's focus.reference points to the Bundle's Claim resource, per the RtpbcRequestMessageDefinition.
- In the response, the focus.reference points to the Bundle's ClaimResponse, per the RtpbcResponseMessageDefinition.

### Synchronous response

The response in the RTPBC exchange is expected to be synchronous, with real-time response times to support use in interactive patient-facing applications.

### Examples
