Is there way we can have coverage (insurance) information in patient resource.
I have the use case where i will get the input to create member which will have insurance details along with demographic details and and system expect insurance details along with demographic details.

Extensions would work if all you need is the basics ( plan, member, insurance co) Otherwise Bundle Coverage with Patient.

If you have enough information to populate a Coverage resource, you should use the resource - that's the way you get interoperability. It will be reasonably common that data that's submitted will end up populating multiple resources.

It would be best to keep coverage information independent from Patient resource. For separation of design. Also from a Privacy and Security perspective.
