## Resource Profile: RTPBC Medication Request

Standards status: Trial-use Active as of 2020-12-02 | Maturity Level: 2 | Computable Name: RtpbcMedicationRequest

This profile constrains the MedicationRequest resource to convey a subset of prescription information required in the consumer real-time pharmacy benefit check (RTPBC) process. The content specifies the prescribed product and quantity, and references the prescribing practitioner and the patient's preferred pharmacy.

This profile differs from the US Core MedicationRequest in that it doesn't set the encounter or dosageInstruction elements as Must Support, because clients in the exchange will typically be mobile consumer applications that do not posess this information, and because that information is not pertinent to this use case.

The function of the MedicationRequest resource in this exchange is to convey information from the patient's prescription that has a bearing on pricing and coverage. This limited set of information consists of…

- the medication name and identifier
- prescribed quantity and unit of measure
- identification of the prescriber
- identification of the pharmacy
- whether product substitutions are allowed
- optionally, the days supply represented by the quantity

### Must Support elements in this profile

Client systems
All of the elements identified above are marked Must Support…

- All MedicationRequest elements with a minimum cardinality of 1 SHALL be populated in order to enable reliable results from the processor.§MS-MR-1
- substitutions.allowed is expected to be populated as false, indicating that the processor must provide pricing and coverage for the specific requested medication. (The processor may additionally return information about alternative medications)
- MedicationRequest.dosageInstruction SHOULD be used when determining days supply.§MS-MR-2

Client and Responding systems

- Days supply (MedicationRequest.expectedSupplyDuration) can impact cost and coverage for a medication; however, patients may not be able to reliably provide it. Implementing partners MAY determine how or whether the element is to be used.§MS-MR-3

Responding systems

- RTPBC Responders SHALL make use of all pertinent required MedicationRequest elements when determining pricing and coverage.§MS-MR-4
- RTPBC Responders MAY use MedicationRequest.dosageInstruction when determining pricing and coverage.§MS-MR-5
