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.

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.

The status of the resource instance.

Operational billing lifecycle (Abrechnungsstatus) lives here and on ClaimResponse, not on Account.status (ADR-039).

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.

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 period for which charges are being submitted.

Typically this would be today or in the past for a claim, and today or in the future for preauthorizations and predeterminations. Typically line item dates of service should fall within the billing period if one is specified.

A number jurisdictions required the submission of the billing period when submitting claims for example for hospital stays or long-term care.

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.

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.

Additional information codes regarding exceptions, special considerations, the condition, situation, prior or concurrent issues.

Financial instruments for reimbursement for the health care products and services specified on the claim.

All insurance coverages for the patient which may be applicable for reimbursement, of the products and services listed in the claim, are typically provided in the claim to allow insurers to confirm the ordering of the insurance coverages relative to local 'coordination of benefit' rules. One coverage (and only one) with 'focal=true' is to be used in the adjudication of this claim. Coverages appearing before the focal Coverage in the list, and where 'Coverage.subrogation=false', should provide a reference to the ClaimResponse containing the adjudication results of the prior claim.

At least one insurer is required for a claim to be a claim.

To maintain order of the coverages.

A flag to indicate that this Coverage is to be used for adjudication of this claim when set to true.

A patient may (will) have multiple insurance policies which provide reimbursement for healthcare services and products. For example a person may also be covered by their spouse's policy and both appear in the list (and may be from the same insurer). This flag will be set to true for only one of the listed policies and that policy will be used for adjudicating this claim. Other claims would be created to request adjudication against the other listed policies.

To identify which coverage in the list is being used to adjudicate this claim.

Reference to the insurance card level information contained in the Coverage resource. The coverage issuing insurer will use these details to locate the patient's actual coverage within the insurer's information system.

Required to allow the adjudicator to locate the correct policy and history within their information system.

A claim line. Either a simple product or service or a 'group' of details which can each be a simple items or groups of sub-details.

The items to be processed for adjudication.

May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the element and that modifies the understanding of the element in which it is contained and/or the understanding of the containing element's descendants.

A number to uniquely identify item entries.

Necessary to provide a mechanism to link to items from within the claim and within the adjudication details of the ClaimResponse.

When the value is a group code then this item collects a set of related claim details, otherwise this contains the product, service, drug or other billing code for the item.

If this is an actual service or product line, i.e. not a Group, then use code to indicate the Professional Service or Product supplied (e.g. CTP, HCPCS, USCLS, ICD10, NCPDP, DIN, RxNorm, ACHI, CCI). If a grouping item then use a group code to indicate the type of thing being grouped e.g. 'glasses' or 'compound'.

Allowable service and product codes.

Necessary to state what was provided or done.

Operational billing lifecycle (Abrechnungsstatus) lives here and on ClaimResponse, not on Account.status (ADR-039).

Quarterly or episode diagnoses for billing. Dedupe is over the exact billing tuple: ICD code, Diagnosesicherheit, Seitenlokalisation, and Mehrfachcodierungskennzeichen. Full tuple constraints align with fhir-praxis-de claim-diagnosis-contract.

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.

The logical id of the resource, as used in the URL for the resource. Once assigned, this value never changes.

The only time that a resource does not have an id is when it is being submitted to the server using a create operation.

The metadata about the resource. This is content that is maintained by the infrastructure. Changes to the content might not always be associated with version changes to the resource.

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.

The base language in which the resource is written.

Language is provided to support indexing and accessibility (typically, services such as text to speech use the language tag). The html language tag in the narrative applies to the narrative. The language tag on the resource may be used to specify the language of other presentations generated from the data in the resource. Not all the content has to be in the base language. The Resource.language should not be assumed to apply to the narrative automatically. If a language is specified, it should it also be specified on the div element in the html (see rules in HTML5 for information about the relationship between xml:lang and the html lang attribute).

A human language.

A human-readable narrative that contains a summary of the resource and can be used to represent the content of the resource to a human. The narrative need not encode all the structured data, but is required to contain sufficient detail to make it "clinically safe" for a human to just read the narrative. Resource definitions may define what content should be represented in the narrative to ensure clinical safety.

Contained resources do not have narrative. Resources that are not contained SHOULD have a narrative. In some cases, a resource may only have text with little or no additional discrete data (as long as all minOccurs=1 elements are satisfied). This may be necessary for data from legacy systems where information is captured as a "text blob" or where text is additionally entered raw or narrated and encoded information is added later.

These resources do not have an independent existence apart from the resource that contains them - they cannot be identified independently, and nor can they have their own independent transaction scope.

This should never be done when the content can be identified properly, as once identification is lost, it is extremely difficult (and context dependent) to restore it again. Contained resources may have profiles and tags In their meta elements, but SHALL NOT have security labels.
