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.
EHR PAS Capabilities |
Capabilities required for an EHR participating in a PAS Exchange. |
Intermediary PAS Capabilities |
Capabilities required for an Intermediary participating in a PAS Exchange. |
These are custom operations that can be supported by and/or invoked by systems conforming to this implementation guide.
Submit a Claim resource for adjudication |
This operation is used to submit a Pre-Authorization Claim Request for adjudication as a Bundle containing the PASClaimRequest and other referenced resources for processing. The only input parameter is the single Bundle resource with a PASClaimRequest instance (along with other referenced resources) and the only output is a single Bundle with a PASClaimResponse (and other referenced resources) or an OperationOutcome resource. This is a variant of the FHIR Core Claim $submit operation. |
Submit a Claim resource for inquiry |
This operation is used to make an inquiry for a previously-submitted Pre-Authorization. This Prior Authorization $inquire operation is a query-by-example that follows the X12 278 Inquiry rules. The only input parameter is the single Bundle resource with a PASClaimInquiry instance (along with other referenced resources) and the only output is a single Bundle with zero-to-many PASClaimInquiryResponses (and other referenced resources) or an OperationOutcome resource. |
These define data models that represent the domain covered by this implementation guide in more business-friendly terms than the underlying FHIR resources.
