Codes for the Role class hierarchy. The values in this hierarchy, represent a Role which is an association or relationship between two entities - the entity that plays the role and the entity that scopes the role. Roles names are derived from the name of the playing entity in that role. The role hierarchy stems from three core concepts, or abstract domains: RoleClassOntological is an abstract domain that collects roles in which the playing entity is defined or specified by the scoping entity. RoleClassPartitive collects roles in which the playing entity is in some sense a "part" of the scoping entity. RoleClassAssociative collects all of the remaining forms of association between the playing entity and the scoping entity. This set of roles is further partitioned between: RoleClassPassive which are roles in which the playing entity is used, known, treated, handled, built, or destroyed, etc. under the auspices of the scoping entity. The playing entity is passive in these roles in that the role exists without an agreement from the playing entity. RoleClassMutualRelationship which are relationships based on mutual behavior of the two entities. The basis of these relationship may be formal agreements or they may bede facto behavior. Thus, this sub-domain is further divided into: RoleClassRelationshipFormal in which the relationship is formally defined, frequently by a contract or agreement. Personal relationship which inks two people in a personal relationship. The hierarchy discussed above is represented In the current vocabulary tables as a set of abstract domains, with the exception of the "Personal relationship" which is a leaf concept. OpenIssue: Description copied from Concept Domain of same name. Must be verified.

                        A role class played by a person who receives benefit coverage
               under the terms of a particular insurance policy.  The underwriter of that policy is the
               scoping entity.  The covered party receives coverage because of some contractual or other
               relationship with the holder of that policy.
            <br/>  

                        
                           Discussion:This reason for coverage is captured in 'Role.code'
               and a relationship link with type code of indirect authority should be included using
               the policy holder role as the source, and the covered party role as the target.
            <br/>  

                        Note that a particular policy may cover several individuals one
               of whom may be, but need not be, the policy holder.  Thus the notion of covered party
               is a role that is distinct from that of the policy holder.

                           Description: A role played by a party making a claim for coverage
               under a policy or program.  A claimant must be either a person or organization, or a group
               of persons or organizations.  A claimant is not a named insured or a program eligible.
            <br/>  

                        
                           Discussion: With respect to liability insurance such as property
               and casualty insurance, a claimant must file a claim requesting indemnification for a
               loss that the claimant considers covered under the policy of a named insured.  The claims
               adjuster for the policy underwriter will review the claim to determine whether the loss
               meets the benefit coverage criteria under a policy, and base any indemnification or coverage
               payment on that review.  If a third party is liable in whole or part for the loss, the
               underwriter may pursue third party liability recovery.  A claimant may be involved in
               civil or criminal legal proceedings involving claims against a defendant party that is
               indemnified by an insurance policy or to protest the finding of a claims adjustor. With
               respect to life insurance, a beneficiary designated by a named insured becomes a claimant
               of the proceeds of coverage, as in the case of a life insurance policy.  However, a claimant
               for coverage under life insurance is not necessarily a designated beneficiary.
            <br/>  

                        
                           Note: A claimant is not a named insured.  However, a named
               insured may make a claim under a policy, e.g., an insured driver may make a claim for
               an injury under his or her comprehensive automobile insurance policy.  Similarly, a program
               eligible may make a claim under program, e.g., an unemployed worker may claim benefits
               under an unemployment insurance program, but parties playing these covered party role
               classes are not, for purposes of this vocabulary and in an effort to clearly distinguish
               role classes, considered claimants.
            <br/>  

                        In the case of a named insured making a claim, a role type code
               INSCLM (insured claimant) subtypes the class to indicate that either a named insured or
               an individual insured has filed a claim for a loss.  In the case of a program eligible,
               a role type code INJWKR (injured worker) subtypes the class to indicate that the covered
               party in a workers compensation program is an injured worker, and as such, has filed a
               &quot;claim&quot; under the program for benefits.  Likewise, a covered role type code
               UNEMP (unemployed worker) subtypes the program eligible class to indicate that the covered
               party in an unemployment insurance program has filed a claim for unemployment benefits.
            <br/>  

                        
                           Example: A claimant under automobile policy that is not the
               named insured.

                           Description: A role played by a party to an insurance policy
               to which the insurer agrees to indemnify for losses, provides benefits for, or renders
               services.  A named insured may be either a person, non-person living subject, or an organization,
               or a group of persons, non-person living subjects, or organizations.
            <br/>  

                        
                           Discussion: The coded concept NAMED should not be used where
               a more specific child concept in this Specializable value set applies.  In some cases,
               the named insured may not be the policy holder, e.g., where a policy holder purchases
               life insurance policy in which another party is the named insured and the policy holder
               is the beneficiary of the policy.
            <br/>  

                        
                           Note: The party playing the role of a named insured is not
               a claimant in the sense conveyed by the RoleClassCoveredParty CLAIM (claimant).  However,
               a named insured may make a claim under a policy, e.g., e.g., a party that is the named
               insured and policy holder under a comprehensive automobile insurance policy may become
               the claimant for coverage under that policy e.g., if injured in an automobile accident
               and there is no liable third party.  In the case of a named insured making a claim, a
               role type code INSCLM (insured claimant) subtypes the class to indicate that a named insured
               has filed a claim for a loss.
            <br/>  

                        
                           Example: The named insured under a comprehensive automobile,
               disability, or property and casualty policy that is the named insured and may or may not
               be the policy holder.

               in the sense conveyed by the RoleClassCoveredParty CLAIM (claimant).  However, a dependent
               may make a claim under a policy, e.g., a dependent under a health insurance policy may
               become the claimant for coverage under that policy for wellness examines or if injured
               and there is no liable third party.  In the case of a dependent making a claim, a role
               type code INSCLM (insured claimant) subtypes the class to indicate that the dependent
               has filed a claim for services covered under the health insurance policy.
            <br/>  

                        
                           Example: The dependent has an association with the subscriber
               such as a financial dependency or personal relationship such as that of a spouse, or a
               natural or adopted child.  The policy holder may be required by law to recognize certain
               associations or may have discretion about the associations.  For example, a policy holder
               may dictate the criteria for the dependent status of adult children who are students,
               such as requiring full time enrollment, or may recognize domestic partners as dependents.
                Under certain circumstances, the dependent may be under the indirect authority of a responsible
               party acting as a surrogate for the subscriber, for example, if the subscriber is differently
               abled or deceased, a guardian ad Lidem or estate executor may be appointed to assume the
               subscriberaTMs legal standing in the relationship with the dependent.

               not a claimant in the sense conveyed by the RoleClassCoveredParty CLAIM (claimant).  However,
               a named insured may make a claim under a policy, e.g., a party that is the named insured
               and policy holder under a comprehensive automobile insurance policy may become the claimant
               for coverage under that policy if injured in an automobile accident and there is no liable
               third party.  In the case of an individual insured making a claim, a role type code INSCLM
               (insured claimant) subtypes the class to indicate that an individual insured has filed
               a claim for a loss.

                           Note: The party playing a program eligible is not a claimant
               in the sense conveyed by the RoleClassCoveredParty CLAIM (claimant).  However a program
               eligible may make a claim under program, e.g., an unemployed worker may claim benefits
               under an unemployment insurance program, but parties playing these covered party role
               classes are not, for purposes of this vocabulary and in an effort to clearly distinguish
               role classes, considered claimants.
            <br/>  

                        In the case of a program eligible, a role type code INJWKR (injured
               worker) subtypes the class to indicate that the covered party in a workers compensation
               program is an injured worker, and as such, has filed a &quot;claim&quot; under the program
               for benefits.  Likewise, a covered role type code UNEMP (unemployed worker) subtypes the
               program eligible class to indicate that the covered party in an unemployment insurance
               program has filed a claim for unemployment benefits.

               or financial status, e.g., in the U.S., persons meeting health, demographic, or financial
               criteria established by state and federal law are eligible for Medicaid.

                        A role played by an entity, usually an organization that is the
               sponsor of an insurance plan or a health program. A sponsor is the party that is ultimately
               accountable for the coverage by employment contract or by law.  A sponsor can be an employer,
               union, government agency, or association.  Fully insured sponsors establish the terms
               of the plan and contract with health insurance plans to assume the risk and to administer
               the plan.  Self-insured sponsors delegate coverage administration, but not risk, to third-party
               administrators.  Program sponsors designate services to be covered in accordance with
               statute.   Program sponsors may administer the coverage themselves, delegate coverage
               administration, but not risk to third-party administrators, or contract with health insurance
               plans to assume the risk and administrator a program. Sponsors qualify individuals who

               become the scoper a role played by another person.  That is to say, once a person has

  <description value=" Codes for the Role class hierarchy.  The values in this hierarchy, represent a Role which
     is an association or relationship between two entities - the entity that plays the role
     and the entity that scopes the role.  Roles names are derived from the name of the playing
     entity in that role. The role hierarchy stems from three core concepts, or abstract domains:
        RoleClassOntological
is an abstract domain that collects roles in which the playing entity is defined or specified
     by the scoping entity.   RoleClassPartitive
collects roles in which the playing entity is in some sense a &quot;part&quot; of the
     scoping entity.   RoleClassAssociative
collects all of the remaining forms of association between the playing entity and the
     scoping entity. This set of roles is further partitioned between:    RoleClassPassive
which are roles in which the playing entity is used, known, treated, handled, built, or
     destroyed, etc. under the auspices of the scoping entity. The playing entity is passive
     in these roles in that the role exists without an agreement from the playing entity. 
      RoleClassMutualRelationship
which are relationships based on mutual behavior of the two entities. The basis of these
     relationship may be formal agreements or they may bede facto
behavior.  Thus, this sub-domain is further divided into:    RoleClassRelationshipFormal
in which the relationship is formally defined, frequently by a contract or agreement.
       Personal relationship
which inks two people in a personal relationship. The hierarchy discussed above is represented
     In the current vocabulary tables as a set of abstract domains, with the exception of the
      &quot;Personal relationship&quot; which is a leaf concept.  OpenIssue:

               of that policy.

                        
                           Discussion:This reason for coverage is captured in 'Role.code'
               and a relationship link with type code of indirect authority should be included using
               the policy holder role as the source, and the covered party role as the target.

                        Note that a particular policy may cover several individuals one
               of whom may be, but need not be, the policy holder.  Thus the notion of covered party

              <code value="CLAIM"/> 
              <display value="claimant"/> 
              <definition value="Description: A role played by a party making a claim for coverage under a policy or program.
                  A claimant must be either a person or organization, or a group of persons or organizations.
                  A claimant is not a named insured or a program eligible.

                        
                           Discussion: With respect to liability insurance such as property
                 and casualty insurance, a claimant must file a claim requesting indemnification for a
                 loss that the claimant considers covered under the policy of a named insured.  The claims
                 adjuster for the policy underwriter will review the claim to determine whether the loss
                 meets the benefit coverage criteria under a policy, and base any indemnification or coverage
                 payment on that review.  If a third party is liable in whole or part for the loss, the
                 underwriter may pursue third party liability recovery.  A claimant may be involved in
                 civil or criminal legal proceedings involving claims against a defendant party that is
                 indemnified by an insurance policy or to protest the finding of a claims adjustor. With
                 respect to life insurance, a beneficiary designated by a named insured becomes a claimant
                 of the proceeds of coverage, as in the case of a life insurance policy.  However, a claimant
                 for coverage under life insurance is not necessarily a designated beneficiary.

                        
                           Note: A claimant is not a named insured.  However, a named
                 insured may make a claim under a policy, e.g., an insured driver may make a claim for
                 an injury under his or her comprehensive automobile insurance policy.  Similarly, a program
                 eligible may make a claim under program, e.g., an unemployed worker may claim benefits
                 under an unemployment insurance program, but parties playing these covered party role
                 classes are not, for purposes of this vocabulary and in an effort to clearly distinguish
                 role classes, considered claimants.

                        In the case of a named insured making a claim, a role type code
                 INSCLM (insured claimant) subtypes the class to indicate that either a named insured or
                 an individual insured has filed a claim for a loss.  In the case of a program eligible,
                 a role type code INJWKR (injured worker) subtypes the class to indicate that the covered
                 party in a workers compensation program is an injured worker, and as such, has filed a
                 &quot;claim&quot; under the program for benefits.  Likewise, a covered role type code
                 UNEMP (unemployed worker) subtypes the program eligible class to indicate that the covered
                 party in an unemployment insurance program has filed a claim for unemployment benefits.

                        
                           Example: A claimant under automobile policy that is not the
                 named insured."/>

            <concept> 
              <code value="NAMED"/> 
              <display value="named insured"/> 
              <definition value="Description: A role played by a party to an insurance policy to which the insurer agrees
                 to indemnify for losses, provides benefits for, or renders services.  A named insured
                 may be either a person, non-person living subject, or an organization, or a group of persons,
                 non-person living subjects, or organizations.

                        
                           Discussion: The coded concept NAMED should not be used where
                 a more specific child concept in this Specializable value set applies.  In some cases,
                 the named insured may not be the policy holder, e.g., where a policy holder purchases
                 life insurance policy in which another party is the named insured and the policy holder
                 is the beneficiary of the policy.

                        
                           Note: The party playing the role of a named insured is not
                 a claimant in the sense conveyed by the RoleClassCoveredParty CLAIM (claimant).  However,
                 a named insured may make a claim under a policy, e.g., e.g., a party that is the named
                 insured and policy holder under a comprehensive automobile insurance policy may become
                 the claimant for coverage under that policy e.g., if injured in an automobile accident
                 and there is no liable third party.  In the case of a named insured making a claim, a
                 role type code INSCLM (insured claimant) subtypes the class to indicate that a named insured
                 has filed a claim for a loss.

                        
                           Example: The named insured under a comprehensive automobile,
                 disability, or property and casualty policy that is the named insured and may or may not
                 be the policy holder."/>

                <code value="DEPEN"/> 
                <display value="dependent"/> 
                <definition value="Description: A role played by a person covered under a policy or program based on an association
                   with a subscriber, which is recognized by the policy holder.

                        
                           Note:  The party playing the role of a dependent is not a claimant
                   in the sense conveyed by the RoleClassCoveredParty CLAIM (claimant).  However, a dependent
                   may make a claim under a policy, e.g., a dependent under a health insurance policy may
                   become the claimant for coverage under that policy for wellness examines or if injured
                   and there is no liable third party.  In the case of a dependent making a claim, a role
                   type code INSCLM (insured claimant) subtypes the class to indicate that the dependent
                   has filed a claim for services covered under the health insurance policy.

                        
                           Example: The dependent has an association with the subscriber
                   such as a financial dependency or personal relationship such as that of a spouse, or a
                   natural or adopted child.  The policy holder may be required by law to recognize certain
                   associations or may have discretion about the associations.  For example, a policy holder
                   may dictate the criteria for the dependent status of adult children who are students,
                   such as requiring full time enrollment, or may recognize domestic partners as dependents.
