Asking for a friend. Does anyone know if the CMS LIS (Low Income Subsidy) status of a patient is available in BlueButton data? (1.0 or 2.0)? If not, does anyone know of a way to programmatically access this information?

You might also ask on #CARIN IG for Blue Button®

@Brendan Keeler , did you ever get an answer to this?
Brendan Keeler (Jun 03 2021 at 16:16):
No, never got an answer

Yes, we did answer it on another thread. We currently don't support it but would welcome you entering a Jira ticket so we can futher discuss with FM. This is ultimately an FM decision. https://chat.fhir.org/#narrow/stream/204607-CARIN-IG.20for.20Blue.20Button.C2.AE/topic/CMS.20LIS.20.28Low.20Income.20Subsidy.29.20Status/near/261802592
