This page provides a list of the FHIR artifacts defined as part of this implementation guide.
The following artifacts define the specific capabilities that different types of systems are expected to have in order to comply with this implementation guide. Systems conforming to this implementation guide are expected to declare conformance to one or more of the following capability statements.
Patient Cost Transparency Implementation Guide Capability Statement |
Capability statement for the Da Vinci Patient Cost Transparency Implementation Guide |
These are custom operations that can be supported by and/or invoked by systems conforming to this implementation guide.
Submit a GFE resource for the creation of an AEOB |
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). The only output is a url for subsequent polling per async pattern. If after polling the response is complete, then the result will either be a single Bundle with the AEOB - which is based on the ExplanationOfBenefit resource, (and other referenced resources) or an OperationOutcome resource indicating the AEOB will be sent directly to the patient and not to the provider. |
These define the properties by which a RESTful server can be searched. They can also be used for sorting and including related resources.
aeob-date-of-service |
Select planned date of service |
These define constraints on FHIR resources for systems conforming to this implementation guide.
PCT AEOB Adjudication Error |
OperationOutcome returned from the gfeSubmit operation when there are adjudication errors during AEOB processing |
PCT AEOB Bundle |
PCT AEOB Bundle that contains necessary resources for an AEOBs. Organizations for both the payer and provider SHALL be included. |
PCT AEOB Complete |
OperationOutcome returned from the gfeSubmit operation when the AEOB process is complete but no AEOB will be returned to the submitter (i.e. it was sent only to the patient) |
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. The scope of this guide does not include coordination of benefits or more than one coverage. This does not serve as a replacement for eligibility, prior authorization or other financial and administrative use cases. |
PCT GFE Validation Error |
OperationOutcome returned from the gfeSubmit operation when the GFE Bundle fails FHIR validation |
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 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 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. |
These define constraints on FHIR data types for systems conforming to this implementation guide.
Benefit Remaining |
The quantity of the benefit remaining to date. |
CountrySubdivisionCode |
This extension is used to provide the Country Subdivision Code - from Part 2 of ISO 3166. |
GFE Reference |
This extension is used to reference the GFE submitted by an entity that started the process for obtaining an Advanced EOB. |
GFEBillingProviderLineItemCtrlNum |
This extension is used by the provider to assign a unique identifier to this item. The intent of this element is to allow the provider to assign something other than ‘line number’ for their purposes (e.g. tracking and troubleshooting). |
GFEConsentForBalanceBilling |
If the provider has received a written consent form indicating a patient has agreed to waive their protections and pay up to the full cost for the out-of-network item or service, this will be “true”. If the provider has not received written consent, this will be “false”. This is an attestation only. The billing provider is legally required to maintain the written notice and consent form. |
GFEDisclaimer |
Disclaimers the patient should be made aware of regarding the providers estimate |
GFEServiceLinkingInfo |
This extension is used to provide the GFE Service Linking Information. This allows implementers to have the same identifier on multiple GFEs that are part of one period of care’s services. This would be needed for some of the workflow options that businesses may decide to use. |
GFESubmitter |
This extension is used to indicate the scheduling entity that submits the GFE to provide a collection of services to a payer for the creation of an Advanced EOB. All submitters (Practitioners and Organizations) must have an ETIN. |
In Network Provider Options Link |
This extension provides a payer link to information enabling the patient to find providers that are in network for the requested services. |
PCTEndpoint |
This extension is used to provide an endpoint. |
ProcessNote Class |
This extension is used to indicate a the class of AEOB Claim process notes |
ProviderEventMethodology |
This extension is used for indicating the method a provider used to group services, and those providing such services, beyond what may be indicated through DRGs that the payer or patient may find helpful (e.g. grouping services by a standardized episode of care definition). This is provider generated text and should not be modified by the payer. |
ProviderTaxonomy |
This extension is used to indicate the taxonomy code of the provider. |
ReferralNumber |
This extension is used to provide the Referral Number. |
Service Description |
This extension is used to communicate a plain language description of the procedure, product, or service. |
Subject To Medical Management |
This extension is used to provide a reason to explain how the estimate may change subject to medical management. |
