This resource provides: the claim details; adjudication details from the processing of a Claim; and optionally account balance information, for informing the subscriber of the benefits provided.

The logical id of the resource, as used in the URL for the resource. Once assigned, this value never changes.

The only time that a resource does not have an id is when it is being submitted to the server using a create operation.

The metadata about a resource. This is content in the resource that is maintained by the infrastructure. Changes to the content might not always be associated with version changes to the resource.

A reference to a set of rules that were followed when the resource was constructed, and which must be understood when processing the content. Often, this is a reference to an implementation guide that defines the special rules along with other profiles etc.

Asserting this rule set restricts the content to be only understood by a limited set of trading partners. This inherently limits the usefulness of the data in the long term. However, the existing health eco-system is highly fractured, and not yet ready to define, collect, and exchange data in a generally computable sense. Wherever possible, implementers and/or specification writers should avoid using this element. Often, when used, the URL is a reference to an implementation guide that defines these special rules as part of it's narrative along with other profiles, value sets, etc.

The base language in which the resource is written.

Language is provided to support indexing and accessibility (typically, services such as text to speech use the language tag). The html language tag in the narrative applies to the narrative. The language tag on the resource may be used to specify the language of other presentations generated from the data in the resource. Not all the content has to be in the base language. The Resource.language should not be assumed to apply to the narrative automatically. If a language is specified, it should it also be specified on the div element in the html (see rules in HTML5 for information about the relationship between xml:lang and the html lang attribute).

A human-readable narrative that contains a summary of the resource and can be used to represent the content of the resource to a human. The narrative need not encode all the structured data, but is required to contain sufficient detail to make it "clinically safe" for a human to just read the narrative. Resource definitions may define what content should be represented in the narrative to ensure clinical safety.

Contained resources do not have narrative. Resources that are not contained SHOULD have a narrative. In some cases, a resource may only have text with little or no additional discrete data (as long as all minOccurs=1 elements are satisfied). This may be necessary for data from legacy systems where information is captured as a "text blob" or where text is additionally entered raw or narrated and encoded information is added later.

These resources do not have an independent existence apart from the resource that contains them - they cannot be identified independently, and nor can they have their own independent transaction scope.

This should never be done when the content can be identified properly, as once identification is lost, it is extremely difficult (and context dependent) to restore it again. Contained resources may have profiles and tags In their meta elements, but SHALL NOT have security labels.

May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the resource and that modifies the understanding of the element that contains it and/or the understanding of the containing element's descendants. Usually modifier elements provide negation or qualification. To make the use of extensions safe and manageable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer is allowed to define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension. Applications processing a resource are required to check for modifier extensions.

Modifier extensions SHALL NOT change the meaning of any elements on Resource or DomainResource (including cannot change the meaning of modifierExtension itself).

Modifier extensions allow for extensions that cannot be safely ignored to be clearly distinguished from the vast majority of extensions which can be safely ignored.

The purpose of this identifier.

Allows the appropriate identifier for a particular context of use to be selected from among a set of identifiers.

Applications can assume that an identifier is permanent unless it explicitly says that it is temporary.

A coded type for the identifier that can be used to determine which identifier to use for a specific purpose.

Allows users to make use of identifiers when the identifier system is not known.

This element deals only with general categories of identifiers. It SHOULD not be used for codes that correspond 1..1 with the Identifier.system. Some identifiers may fall into multiple categories due to common usage. Where the system is known, a type is unnecessary because the type is always part of the system definition. However systems often need to handle identifiers where the system is not known. There is not a 1:1 relationship between type and system, since many different systems have the same type.

Establishes the namespace for the value - that is, a URL that describes a set values that are unique.

There are many sets of identifiers. To perform matching of two identifiers, we need to know what set we're dealing with. The system identifies a particular set of unique identifiers.

Identifier.system is always case sensitive.

The portion of the identifier typically relevant to the user and which is unique within the context of the system.

If the value is a full URI, then the system SHALL be urn:ietf:rfc:3986. The value's primary purpose is computational mapping. As a result, it may be normalized for comparison purposes (e.g. removing non-significant whitespace, dashes, etc.) A value formatted for human display can be conveyed using the Rendered Value extension. Identifier.value is to be treated as case sensitive unless knowledge of the Identifier.system allows the processer to be confident that non-case-sensitive processing is safe.

Time period during which identifier is/was valid for use.

Organization that issued/manages the identifier.

The Identifier.assigner may omit the .reference element and only contain a .display element reflecting the name or other textual information about the assigning organization.

The status of the resource instance.

Need to track the status of the resource as 'draft' resources may undergo further edits while 'active' resources are immutable and may only have their status changed to 'cancelled'.

This element is labeled as a modifier because the status contains codes that mark the resource as not currently valid.

The category of claim, e.g. oral, pharmacy, vision, institutional, professional.

Claim type determine the general sets of business rules applied for information requirements and adjudication.

The majority of jurisdictions use: oral, pharmacy, vision, professional and institutional, or variants on those terms, as the general styles of claims. The valueset is extensible to accommodate other jurisdictional requirements.

A finer grained suite of claim type codes which may convey additional information such as Inpatient vs Outpatient and/or a specialty service.

Some jurisdictions need a finer grained claim type for routing and adjudication.

This may contain the local bill type codes such as the US UB-04 bill type code.

A code to indicate whether the nature of the request is: to request adjudication of products and services previously rendered; or requesting authorization and adjudication for provision in the future; or requesting the non-binding adjudication of the listed products and services which could be provided in the future.

This element is required to understand the nature of the request for adjudication.

The party to whom the professional services and/or products have been supplied or are being considered and for whom actual for forecast reimbursement is sought.

The patient must be supplied to the insurer so that confirmation of coverage and service history may be considered as part of the authorization and/or adjudiction.

The period for which charges are being submitted.

A number jurisdictions required the submission of the billing period when submitting claims for example for hospital stays or long-term care.

Typically this would be today or in the past for a claim, and today or in the future for preauthorizations and prodeterminations. Typically line item dates of service should fall within the billing period if one is specified.

The date this resource was created.

Need to record a timestamp for use by both the recipient and the issuer.

This field is independent of the date of creation of the resource as it may reflect the creation date of a source document prior to digitization. Typically for claims all services must be completed as of this date.

Individual who created the claim, predetermination or preauthorization.

Some jurisdictions require the contact information for personnel completing claims.

The party responsible for authorization, adjudication and reimbursement.

To be a valid claim, preauthorization or predetermination there must be a party who is responsible for adjudicating the contents against a policy which provides benefits for the patient.

The provider which is responsible for the claim, predetermination or preauthorization.

Typically this field would be 1..1 where this party is responsible for the claim but not necessarily professionally responsible for the provision of the individual products and services listed below.

The provider-required urgency of processing the request. Typical values include: stat, routine deferred.

The provider may need to indicate their processing requirements so that the processor can indicate if they are unable to comply.

If a claim processor is unable to complete the processing as per the priority then they should generate and error and not process the request.

A code to indicate whether and for whom funds are to be reserved for future claims.

In the case of a Pre-Determination/Pre-Authorization the provider may request that funds in the amount of the expected Benefit be reserved ('Patient' or 'Provider') to pay for the Benefits determined on the subsequent claim(s). 'None' explicitly indicates no funds reserving is requested.

This field is only used for preauthorizations.

A code, used only on a response to a preauthorization, to indicate whether the benefits payable have been reserved and for whom.

Needed to advise the submitting provider on whether the rquest for reservation of funds has been honored.

Fund would be release by a future claim quoting the preAuthRef of this response. Examples of values include: provider, patient, none.

Other claims which are related to this claim such as prior submissions or claims for related services or for the same event.

For workplace or other accidents it is common to relate separate claims arising from the same event.

For example, for the original treatment and follow-up exams.

Prescription to support the dispensing of pharmacy, device or vision products.

Required to authorize the dispensing of controlled substances and devices.

Original prescription which has been superseded by this prescription to support the dispensing of pharmacy services, medications or products.

Often required when a fulfiller varies what is fulfilled from that authorized on the original prescription.

For example, a physician may prescribe a medication which the pharmacy determines is contraindicated, or for which the patient has an intolerance, and therefor issues a new prescription for an alternate medication which has the same therapeutic intent. The prescription from the pharmacy becomes the 'prescription' and that from the physician becomes the 'original prescription'.

The party to be reimbursed for cost of the products and services according to the terms of the policy.

The provider needs to specify who they wish to be reimbursed and the claims processor needs express who they will reimburse.

Often providers agree to receive the benefits payable to reduce the near-term costs to the patient. The insurer may decline to pay the provider and may choose to pay the subscriber instead.

May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the element and that modifies the understanding of the element in which it is contained and/or the understanding of the containing element's descendants. Usually modifier elements provide negation or qualification. To make the use of extensions safe and manageable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer can define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension. Applications processing a resource are required to check for modifier extensions.

Modifier extensions SHALL NOT change the meaning of any elements on Resource or DomainResource (including cannot change the meaning of modifierExtension itself).

Modifier extensions allow for extensions that cannot be safely ignored to be clearly distinguished from the vast majority of extensions which can be safely ignored. This promotes interoperability by eliminating the need for implementers to prohibit the presence of extensions. For further information, see the definition of modifier extensions.

There can be no stigma associated with the use of extensions by any application, project, or standard - regardless of the institution or jurisdiction that uses or defines the extensions. The use of extensions is what allows the FHIR specification to retain a core level of simplicity for everyone.

To identify which coverage in the list is being used to adjudicate this claim.

A patient may (will) have multiple insurance policies which provide reimbursement for healthcare services and products.
