This profile constrains the Coverage resource to carry the member and and coverage identifiers that insurers use to locate the patient's specific plan coverage rules.

(Note: When the responder is a medication pricing source, the Coverage resource is not required).

The Coverage elements available to be used by the RTPBC process are:

• Coverage.subscriberId: Health plan subscriber ID
• Coverage.subscriber: Subscriber demographic information
• Coverage.identifier: Health plan member ID
• Coverage.beneficiary: Patient demographic information
• Coverage.class=rxid. Pharmacy benefit Member ID
• Coverage.class=rxgroup. Pharmacy benefit Group ID
• Coverage.class=rxbin. Pharmacy benefit BIN (IIN)
• Coverage.class=rxpcn. Pharmacy benefit PCN

Different insurers PBMs or other responders may require just a subset of these elements. Implementers may populate all elements for which information is available, or scope the population based the particular responder’s requirements.

Must Support elements in this profile

Client and Responding systems

The elements identified as Must Support are the typical set used in US pharmacy benefit processing; client systems must enable these to be submitted in requests, and responders must be able to accept them to be used as appropriate during processing.
