Although we allow of any type of information to be sent, when sending reference to documents, the US-Core DocumentReference profile should be used.

Codes specifying the status of a nursing home resident at the time of service. These codes are listed within an X12 implementation guide (TR3) and maintained by X12. All X12 work products are copyrighted. See their website for licensing terms and conditions.

A provider issued list of professional services and products which have been provided, or are to be provided, to a patient which is sent to an insurer for reimbursement.

The Claim resource fulfills three information request requirements: Claim - a request for adjudication for reimbursement for products and/or services provided; Preauthorization - a request to authorize the future provision of products and/or services including an anticipated adjudication; and, Predetermination - a request for a non-bind adjudication of possible future products and/or services.

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.

A code specifying the level of service being requested (UM06)

Information to supply various patient conditions.

Information needed for home health care requests.

Optional Extension Element - found in all resources.

An Extension

Source of the definition for the extension code - a logical name or a URL.

The definition may point directly to a computable or human-readable definition of the extensibility codes, or it may be a logical URI as declared in some other specification. The definition SHALL be a URI for the Structure Definition defining the extension.

Value of extension - must be one of a constrained set of the data types (see Extensibility for a list).

A code representing the type of certification being requested (UM02)

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.

An identifier - identifies some entity uniquely and unambiguously. Typically this is used for business identifiers.

Allows claims to be distinguished and referenced.

An additional element that provides a further subdivision within the organization granting the identifier.

An additional element that provides the assigning jurisdiction of the identifier (i.e. provider state license number or state driver's license) so that it does not need to be mapped from the identifier system.

The purpose of this identifier.

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

Identifies the purpose for this identifier, if known .

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

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

Identifier.system is always case sensitive.

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.

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.

The status of the resource instance.

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

A code specifying the state 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'.

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

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.

The type or discipline-style of the claim.

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

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.

The purpose of the Claim: predetermination, preauthorization, claim.

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 or 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 date this resource was created.

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.

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

The Insurer who is target of the request.

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.

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.

The timeliness with which processing is required: stat, normal, deferred.

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

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

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

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