Artifacts Summary

Page standards status: Informative

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

Behavior: Capability Statements

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.

US Drug Formulary Server Capability Statement

This Section describes the expected capabilities of the US Drug Formulary Server actor which is responsible for providing responses to the queries submitted by the US Drug Formulary Requestors. The complete list of FHIR profiles, RESTful operations, and search parameters supported by US Drug Formulary Server are defined.

Behavior: Search Parameters

These define the properties by which a RESTful server can be searched. They can also be used for sorting and including related resources.

Structures: Resource Profiles

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

Formulary

The Formulary provides general information about a formulary and acts as an organizing construct that associated FormularyItem resources point to. The Formulary combined with its associated FormularyItem and FormularyDrug resources represent a formulary list that includes the set of drugs covered and the requirements and limitations of the coverage.

Formulary Bulk Data Graph Definition

A GraphDefinition defining a graph of resources to return in a query for a Formulary related Bulk Data request.

Formulary Drug

Drug information which may be part of a formulary including its RxNorm code and dose form.

Formulary Item

A resource that describes a drug’s relationship to a drug plan, including drug tier, prior authorization requirements, and more. The set of FormularyItem resources associated with a particular drug plan represents the drug plans formulary.

Insurance Plan Location

A Location describing a geographic region or are where the insurance plan coverage is available.

Payer Insurance Plan

The Payer InsurancePlan that defines the health insurance product, which include coverage benefits that are offered, and additional information about the offering, such as a coverage area, contact information, brochure locations, etc. The health insurance product offers one or more types of coverage, each of which may define a plan of covered benefits with the particular cost sharing structure offered to a consumer. Health insurance plans that include drug coverage reference a formulary that provides details about drugs that are covered under the plan including requirements and limitations of the coverage specific to each drug.

Payer Insurance Plan Bulk Data Graph Definition

A GraphDefinition defining a graph of resources to return in a query for a Formulary related Payer Insurance Plan Bulk Data request.

Structures: Extension Definitions

These define constraints on FHIR data types for systems conforming to this implementation guide.

Additional Coverage Information

Additional drug coverage information that may include conditional coverage requirements such as a diagnosis pre-requisite, additional drug specific cost sharing information, or other coverage details not otherwise indicated.

Availability Period

The period for which this item is available on the formulary. Drugs may appear on a formulary, but not considered “active” for the current year.

Availability Status

A boolean indicating whether the formulary item is currently available under the formulary. Drugs may appear on a formulary, but not considered “active” for the current year. Drugs may also be removed during the course of a plan year.

Drug Tier ID

A code that describes the coverage status of a drug in a health plan (e.g., preferred generic, specialty, etc.)

Formulary Reference

Reference to the formulary this item belongs to.

Pharmacy Benefit Type

A CodeableConcept indicating the pharmacy benefit type the formulary drug is available through the associated plan. This pharmacy benefit type is specific to the FormularyDrug and indicates which of the pharmacy benefit type from the plan applies to the particular formulary drug.

Prior Authorization

A Boolean indication of whether the coverage plan imposes a prior authorization requirement on this drug.

Prior Authorization New Starts Only

A Boolean indication of whether the coverage plan imposes a prior authorization requirement on this drug for new starts only. (Only include if PriorAuthorization = true)

Quantity Limit

A Boolean indication of whether the coverage plan imposes a quantity limit on this drug.

Quantity Limit Detail

A detailed definition of the quantity limits the coverage plan imposes on this drug. These limit details may include (potentially including a rolling dispense limit, maximum daily, or therapy days for a period of time. (Only include if QuantityLimit = true)

Step Therapy Limit

A boolean indicating whether the coverage plan imposes a step therapy requirement on this drug meaning another drug may need to be tried beforehand.

Step Therapy Limit New Starts Only

A boolean indicating whether the coverage plan imposes a step therapy requirement on this drug meaning another drug may need to be tried beforehand for new starts only (Not required if patient has previously met step therapy requirements). (Only include if StepTherapyLimit = true)
