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

When the resource last changed - e.g. when the version changed.

Defines the date the Resource was created or updated, whichever comes last (163). Payers SHALL provide the last time the data was updated or the date of creation in the payer’s system of record, whichever comes last

A list of profiles (references to StructureDefinition resources) that this resource claims to conform to. The URL is a reference to StructureDefinition.url.

meta.profile is required as a matter of convenience of receiving systems. The meta.profile should be used by the Server to hint/assert/declare that this instance conforms to one (or more) stated profiles (with business versions). meta.profile does not capture any business logic, processing directives, or semantics (for example, inpatient or outpatient). Clients should not assume that the Server will exhaustively indicate all profiles with all versions that this instance conforms to. Clients can (and should) perform their own validation of conformance to the indicated profile(s) and to any other profiles of interest. CPCDS data element (190)

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.

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).

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.

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.

A unique identifier assigned to this explanation of benefit.

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

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.

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

If the current claim represents a claim that has been adjusted and was given a prior claim number, this field represents the prior claim number. If the current claim has been adjusted; i.e., replaced by or merged to another claim number, this data element represents that new number.(111, 112)

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

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).

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.

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.

Identity of the payers responsible for the claim. (2, 141). All insurance coverages for the patient which may be applicable for reimbursement, of the products and services listed in the claim, are typically provided in the claim to allow insurers to confirm the ordering of the insurance coverages relative to local 'coordination of benefit' rules. One coverage (and only one) with 'focal=true' is to be used in the adjudication of this claim. An invariant is defined to enforce the following rule: Will have multiple occurrences on secondary / tertiary, etc. claims. Up to one occurrence, that of the ExplanationOfBenefit.insurer, will have a boolean value = 'True'

At least one insurer is required for a claim to be a claim.

A flag to indicate that this Coverage is to be used for adjudication of this claim when set to true.

A patient may (will) have multiple insurance policies which provide reimbursement for healthcare services and products. For example, a person may also be covered by their spouse's policy and both appear in the list (and may be from the same insurer). This flag will be set to true for only one of the listed policies and that policy will be used for adjudicating this claim. Other claims would be created to request adjudication against the other listed policies. An invariant is defined to enforce the following rule: Will have multiple occurrences on secondary / tertiary, etc. claims. Up to one occurrence, that of the ExplanationOfBenefit.insurer, will have a boolean value = 'True'

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

Reference to the insurance card level information contained in the Coverage resource. The coverage issuing insurer will use these details to locate the patient's actual coverage within the insurer's information system.
