Hi Team,

I want to implement the below use case and would like to understand what are all the FHIR profiles can be used to achieve this:
• Patient login to the app (after authentication) and see his demographic information
o FHIR Resource – Patient
• Patient wants to see if he is covered for service ‘X’ (assumed to be provided by name)
o FHIR Resource – Encounter, Insurance Plan, Coverage, Coverage Eligibility Request
• For service ‘X’, what would be his responsibility (copay, coinsurance, etc)
o FHIR Resource – Coverage, Coverage Eligibility Response

Regards,
Aritra

I do not think there are any FHIR end points that will give you that data: provider do not have it (they have only clinical data) and payers give you only after-the-fact ExplanationOfBenefit and Coverage

@Ryan Howells I believe this is a future CARIN use case but I don't know the roadmap.

Yes @Paul Church We have done some initial scoping work on this topic and are looking to advance the conversation hopefully later this year or early next depending on the availability of payers to engage.

Thank you for your response.

Can I Use the CRD Use case for this? http://hl7.org/fhir/us/davinci-crd/2019May/
If so, could you please validate the FHIR profiles which I mentioned. Do you feel anything else to be added?

It's an ongoing project for US Realm. And I'm not familiar with it. Sorry.

Currently, it mainly focuses on provider-payer exchange.
