## Resource Profile: RTPBC Patient

Official URL: http://hl7.org/fhir/us/carin-rtpbc/StructureDefinition/rtpbc-patient | Version: 2.0.0-ballot | Highlight text changes?
Standards status: Trial-use Active as of 2025-12-02 | Maturity Level: 2 | Computable Name: RtpbcPatient

This profile constrains the Patient resource for carrying the limited patient information required in the consumer real-time pharmacy benefit check (RTPBC) process.

The RTPBC profile further constrains certain US Core and base elements in a manner that is compatible with the the US Core profile (e.g., tightening element cardinality and further limiting allowed terminology).

In the RTPBC exchange, the pertinent patient information is…

- given and family name
- gender
- date of birth
- address

### Must Support elements in this profile

Client and Responding systems
All of the elements identified above are marked Must Support though not all will be required in a given implementation (the address composite itself and each element within have a minimum cardinality of 0, to support differing patient lookup approaches). The appropriate cardinality for address elements is to be determined by implementers.

Usages:

- Use this Profile: RTPBC Request Bundle and RTPBC Response Bundle
- Refer to this Profile: RTPBC Medication Request, RTPBC Request Using Claim and RTPBC Response Using ClaimResponse
- Examples for this Profile: Patient/rtpbc-patient-01 and Patient/rtpbc-patient-03ps
