7.6 Resource ExplanationOfBenefit - Content

This resource is marked as a draft.

This resource maintained by the Financial Management Work Group

This resource provides: the claim details; adjudication details from the processing of a Claim; and optionally account balance information, for informing the subscriber of the benefits provided.

7.6.1 Scope and Usage

This resource has not yet undergone proper review by FM. At this time, it is to be considered as a draft.

The ExplanationOfBenefit resource combines key information from a Claim, a ClaimResponse and optional Account information to inform a patient of the goods and services rendered by a provider and the settlement made under the patients coverage in respect of that Claim.

This is the logical combination of the Claim, Claim Response and some Coverage accounting information in respect of a single payor prepared for consumption by the subscriber and/or patient. It is not simply a series of pointers to referred-to content models, is a physical subset scoped to the adjudication by a single payor which details the services rendered, the amounts to be settled and to whom, and optionally the coverage used and/or remaining.
