An InsurancePlan is a discrete package of health insurance coverage benefits that are offered under a particular network type. A given payer’s products typically differ by network type and/or covered benefits. A plan pairs a product’s covered benefits with the particular cost sharing structure offered to a consumer. A given product may comprise multiple plans (i.e. each plan offers different cost sharing requirements for the same set of covered benefits). InsurancePlan describes a health insurance offering comprised of a list of covered benefits (i.e. the product), costs associated with those benefits (i.e. the plan), and additional information about the offering, such as who it is owned and administered by, a coverage area, contact information, etc.

Background & scope

Each insurancePlan has a type which describe the product. An insurancePlan may offer its coverage benefits under a particular network. If an insurancePlan does not have a network, each plan of the insurancePlan must define a distinct plan type (InsurancePlace.plan.type).

InsurancePlan describes a health insurance offering comprised of a list of covered benefits (i.e. the product), costs associated with those benefits (i.e. the insurance plan), and additional information about the offering, such as who own it, who administer it, coverage area, contact information, etc.

To change a network in an insurance plan, adjust the insurancePlan.period and genderate a fresh new insurance plan.

_include Search Parameter

_include Example
InsurancePlan:administered-by GET [base]/InsurancePlan?_include=InsurancePlan:administered-by
InsurancePlan:endpoint GET [base]/InsurancePlan?_include=InsurancePlan:endpoint
InsurancePlan:owned-by GET [base]/InsurancePlan?_include=InsurancePlan:owned-by

InsurancePlan:coverage-network GET [base]/InsurancePlan?_include=InsurancePlan:coverage-network
InsurancePlan:plan-network GET [base]/InsurancePlan?_include=InsurancePlan:plan-network
InsurancePlan:network GET [base]/InsurancePlan?_include=InsurancePlan:network

If you only want to search for networks associated with an InsurancePlan, you can use the following approach: The primary resource in this context is the Organization, while the InsurancePlan resources serve as references to it. To accomplish this, the _revinclude feature is utilized. As the Network resource profile is derived from the Organization resource, the type=ntwk parameter must be included in your search.

GET [base]/Organization?type=ntwk&_revinclude=InsurancePlan:network

The relationship between InsurancePlans and Networks is many-to-many. A plan may be associated with multipe networks. The NDH model is having InsurancePlan reference networks.

Special Search Parameters

The search parameters outlined above are straightforward for basic scenarios but have limitations in handling complex combination queries. To enhance these capabilities, employing the special search parameters _filter is recommended.

InsurancePlan and Network relationship

The Insurance Plan resource defines three levels of networks: the base level network, the coverage level network, and the plan level network. The base level network is intended to apply to all coverage and plans when appropriate. For example, if dental services are included in the base level network and are covered at the coverage level, they would apply. Networks at the coverage level are specific to that coverage and are in addition to the base level network. Networks at the plan level are specific to the particular plan and incorporate any networks defined at both the base level and the coverage level. For instance, in a Platinum plan, the network may include more expensive venues that are not covered in lower-priced plans.

InsurancePlan type, network diagram

A payer’s products typically differ by network type and/or covered benefits. A insurance plan pairs a product’s covered benefits with the particular cost sharing structure offered to a consumer. A given payer’s product may comprise multiple insurance plans (i.e. each insurance plan offers different cost sharing requirements for the same set of covered benefits).
