CoverageEligibilityResponse

Introduction

Scope and Usage

The CoverageEligibilityResponse resource provides eligibility and plan details from the processing of an CoverageEligibilityRequest resource. It combines key information from a payor as to whether a Coverage is in-force, and optionally the nature of the Policy benefit details as well as the ability for the insurer to indicate whether the insurance provides benefits for requested types of services or requires preauthorization and if so what supporting information may be required.

The CoverageEligibilityResponse resource is a "event" resource from a FHIR workflow perspective - see Workflow Event.

Boundaries and Relationships

CoverageEligibilityResponse should be used to respond to a request on whether the patient's coverage is inforce, whether it is valid at this or a specified date, or to report the benefit details or preauthorization requirements associated with a coverage.

When requesting whether the patient's coverage is inforce, whether it is valid at this or a specified date, or requesting the benefit details or preauthorization requirements associated with a coverage CoverageEligibilityRequest should be used instead.

The ClaimResponse resource is an insurer's adjudication and/or authorization of a set of healthcare-related goods and services for a patient against the patient's insurance coverages.

For reporting out to patients or transferring data to patient centered applications, such as patient health Record (PHR) application, the ExplanationOfBenefit should be used .

The Coverage resource contains the information typically found on the health insurance card for an individual used to identify the covered individual to the insurer and is referred to by the CoverageEligibilityResponse.
