Patient Cost Transparency Implementation Guide
0.1.0 - STU 1 Ballot

This page is part of the Da Vinci Patient Cost Transparency Implementation Guide (v0.1.0: STU 1 Draft) based on FHIR R4. . For a full list of available versions, see the Directory of published versions

Artifacts Summary

This page provides a list of the FHIR artifacts defined as part of this implementation guide.

Behavior: Operation Definitions

These are custom operations that can be supported by and/or invoked by systems conforming to this implementation guide

GFESubmitOperation

This operation is used by an entity to submit one or multiple GFEs as a Bundle containing the GFE(s) and other referenced resources for processing. The only input parameter is the single Bundle resource with one or multiple GFE(s) - each of which is based on the Claim resource, (along with other referenced resources) and the only output is a single Bundle with the AEOB - which is based on the ExplanationOfBenefit resource, (and other referenced resources) or an OperationOutcome resource.

Structures: Resource Profiles

These define constraints on FHIR resources for systems conforming to this implementation guide

PCT AEOB Bundle

PCT AEOB Bundle that contains necessary resources for an AEOBs. Organizations for both the payer and provider SHALL be included.

PCT Advanced EOB

The No Surprises Act requires that group health plans and insurers provide advance cost estimates, called advanced explanations of benefits (advanced EOBs), for scheduled services. This profile is used for exchanging the Advanced EOB data.

PCT Coverage

PCT Coverage is a profile for capturing data that reflect a payer’s coverage that was effective as of the proposed date of service or the date of admission of the GFE.

PCT GFE Bundle

PCT GFE Bundle that contains necessary resources as a GFE Submission for obtaining an AEOB. Organizations for both the provider and payer SHALL be included.

PCT Good Faith Estimate Institutional

PCT Good Faith Estimate Institutional is a profile for capturing submission data needed to be processed by a payer for the creation of an Advanced EOB. This profile is used for an institutional GFE submission.

PCT Good Faith Estimate Professional

PCT Good Faith Estimate Professional is a profile for capturing submission data needed to be processed by a payer for the creation of an Advanced EOB. This profile is used for a professional GFE submission.

PCT Location

The PCT Location profile builds upon the US Core Location profile and is used with other PCT profile resources.

PCT Organization

The PCT Organization profile builds upon the US Core Organization profile. It is used to convey a payer, provider, payee, or service facility organization.

PCT Patient

The PCT Patient profile builds upon the US Core Patient profile. It is used to convey information about the patient who will be receiving the services as described on the GFE.

PCT Practitioner

The PCT Practitioner profile builds upon the US Core Practitioner profile. It is used to convey information about the practitioner who will be providing services to the patient as described on the GFE.

PCT PractitionerRole

The PCT PractitionerRole profile builds upon the US Core PractitionerRole profile. It is used to convey information about the practitioner who will be providing services to the patient as described on the GFE.
