A provider issued list of professional services and products which have been provided, or are to be provided, to a patient which is sent to an insurer for reimbursement.

The Claim resource fulfills three information request requirements: Claim - a request for adjudication for reimbursement for products and/or services provided; Preauthorization - a request to authorize the future provision of products and/or services including an anticipated adjudication; and, Predetermination - a request for a non-bind adjudication of possible future products and/or services.

A reference to a set of rules that were followed when the resource was constructed, and which must be understood when processing the content. Often, this is a reference to an implementation guide that defines the special rules along with other profiles etc.

Asserting this rule set restricts the content to be only understood by a limited set of trading partners. This inherently limits the usefulness of the data in the long term. However, the existing health eco-system is highly fractured, and not yet ready to define, collect, and exchange data in a generally computable sense. Wherever possible, implementers and/or specification writers should avoid using this element. Often, when used, the URL is a reference to an implementation guide that defines these special rules as part of its narrative along with other profiles, value sets, etc.

These resources do not have an independent existence apart from the resource that contains them - they cannot be identified independently, nor can they have their own independent transaction scope. This is allowed to be a Parameters resource if and only if it is referenced by a resource that provides context/meaning.

This should never be done when the content can be identified properly, as once identification is lost, it is extremely difficult (and context dependent) to restore it again. Contained resources may have profiles and tags in their meta elements, but SHALL NOT have security labels.

May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the resource and that modifies the understanding of the element that contains it and/or the understanding of the containing element's descendants. Usually modifier elements provide negation or qualification. To make the use of extensions safe and managable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer is allowed to define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension. Applications processing a resource are required to check for modifier extensions.

Modifier extensions SHALL NOT change the meaning of any elements on Resource or DomainResource (including cannot change the meaning of modifierExtension itself).

There can be no stigma associated with the use of extensions by any application, project, or standard - regardless of the institution or jurisdiction that uses or defines the extensions. The use of extensions is what allows the FHIR specification to retain a core level of simplicity for everyone.

Modifier extensions allow for extensions that cannot be safely ignored to be clearly distinguished from the vast majority of extensions which can be safely ignored. This promotes interoperability by eliminating the need for implementers to prohibit the presence of extensions. For further information, see the definition of modifier extensions.

The status of the resource instance.

This element is labeled as a modifier because the status contains codes that mark the resource as not currently valid.

A code specifying the state of the resource instance.

Need to track the status of the resource as 'draft' resources may undergo further edits while 'active' resources are immutable and may only have their status changed to 'cancelled'.

The category of claim, e.g. oral, pharmacy, vision, institutional, professional.

The code system provides oral, pharmacy, vision, professional and institutional claim types. Those supported depends on the requirements of the jurisdiction. The valueset is extensible to accommodate other types of claims as required by the jurisdiction.

The type or discipline-style of the claim.

Claim type determine the general sets of business rules applied for information requirements and adjudication.

A code to indicate whether the nature of the request is: Claim - A request to an Insurer to adjudicate the supplied charges for health care goods and services under the identified policy and to pay the determined Benefit amount, if any; Preauthorization - A request to an Insurer to adjudicate the supplied proposed future charges for health care goods and services under the identified policy and to approve the services and provide the expected benefit amounts and potentially to reserve funds to pay the benefits when Claims for the indicated services are later submitted; or, Pre-determination - A request to an Insurer to adjudicate the supplied 'what if' charges for health care goods and services under the identified policy and report back what the Benefit payable would be had the services actually been provided.

The purpose of the Claim: predetermination, preauthorization, claim.

This element is required to understand the nature of the request for adjudication.

The party to whom the professional services and/or products have been supplied or are being considered and for whom actual or forecast reimbursement is sought.

The patient must be supplied to the insurer so that confirmation of coverage and service history may be considered as part of the authorization and/or adjudiction.

The date this resource was created.

This field is independent of the date of creation of the resource as it may reflect the creation date of a source document prior to digitization. Typically for claims all services must be completed as of this date.

Need to record a timestamp for use by both the recipient and the issuer.

The Insurer who is target of the request.

The provider which is responsible for the claim, predetermination or preauthorization.

Typically this field would be 1..1 where this party is accountable for the data content within the claim but is not necessarily the facility, provider group or practitioner who provided the products and services listed within this claim resource. This field is the Billing Provider, for example, a facility, provider group, lab or practitioner.

Healthcare encounters related to this claim.

This will typically be the encounter the event occurred within, but some activities may be initiated prior to or after the official completion of an encounter but still be tied to the context of the encounter.

Used in some jurisdictions to link clinical events to claim items.

A package billing code or bundle code used to group products and services to a particular health condition (such as heart attack) which is based on a predetermined grouping code system.

For example DRG (Diagnosis Related Group) or a bundled billing code. A patient may have a diagnosis of a Myocardial Infarction and a DRG for HeartAttack would be assigned. The Claim item (and possible subsequent claims) would refer to the DRG for those line items that were for services related to the heart attack event.

Required to relate the current diagnosis to a package billing code that is then referenced on the individual claim items which are specific to the health condition covered by the package code.

A number to uniquely identify item entries.

Necessary to provide a mechanism to link to items from within the claim and within the adjudication details of the ClaimResponse.

The number of repetitions of a service or product.

Required when the product or service code does not convey the quantity provided.

The value of the measured amount. The value includes an implicit precision in the presentation of the value.

The implicit precision in the value should always be honored. Monetary values have their own rules for handling precision (refer to standard accounting text books).

Precision is handled implicitly in almost all cases of measurement.

Not allowed to be used in this context

How the Quantity should be understood and represented.

Need a framework for handling measures where the value is <5ug/L or >400mg/L due to the limitations of measuring methodology.

A human-readable form of the unit.

There are many representations for units of measure and in many contexts, particular representations are fixed and required. I.e. mcg for micrograms.

Gibt an ob die Diagnose bereits bei Aufnahme in den stationären Aufenthalt vorhanden war

A provider issued list of professional services and products which have been provided, or are to be provided, to a patient which is sent to an insurer for reimbursement.

The Claim resource fulfills three information request requirements: Claim - a request for adjudication for reimbursement for products and/or services provided; Preauthorization - a request to authorize the future provision of products and/or services including an anticipated adjudication; and, Predetermination - a request for a non-bind adjudication of possible future products and/or services.

The logical id of the resource, as used in the URL for the resource. Once assigned, this value never changes.

Within the context of the FHIR RESTful interactions, the resource has an id except for cases like the create and conditional update. Otherwise, the use of the resouce id depends on the given use case.

The metadata about the resource. This is content that is maintained by the infrastructure. Changes to the content might not always be associated with version changes to the resource.

A reference to a set of rules that were followed when the resource was constructed, and which must be understood when processing the content. Often, this is a reference to an implementation guide that defines the special rules along with other profiles etc.

Asserting this rule set restricts the content to be only understood by a limited set of trading partners. This inherently limits the usefulness of the data in the long term. However, the existing health eco-system is highly fractured, and not yet ready to define, collect, and exchange data in a generally computable sense. Wherever possible, implementers and/or specification writers should avoid using this element. Often, when used, the URL is a reference to an implementation guide that defines these special rules as part of its narrative along with other profiles, value sets, etc.

The base language in which the resource is written.

Language is provided to support indexing and accessibility (typically, services such as text to speech use the language tag). The html language tag in the narrative applies to the narrative. The language tag on the resource may be used to specify the language of other presentations generated from the data in the resource. Not all the content has to be in the base language. The Resource.language should not be assumed to apply to the narrative automatically. If a language is specified, it should it also be specified on the div element in the html (see rules in HTML5 for information about the relationship between xml:lang and the html lang attribute).

IETF language tag for a human language

A human-readable narrative that contains a summary of the resource and can be used to represent the content of the resource to a human. The narrative need not encode all the structured data, but is required to contain sufficient detail to make it "clinically safe" for a human to just read the narrative. Resource definitions may define what content should be represented in the narrative to ensure clinical safety.

Contained resources do not have a narrative. Resources that are not contained SHOULD have a narrative. In some cases, a resource may only have text with little or no additional discrete data (as long as all minOccurs=1 elements are satisfied). This may be necessary for data from legacy systems where information is captured as a "text blob" or where text is additionally entered raw or narrated and encoded information is added later.

These resources do not have an independent existence apart from the resource that contains them - they cannot be identified independently, nor can they have their own independent transaction scope. This is allowed to be a Parameters resource if and only if it is referenced by a resource that provides context/meaning.

This should never be done when the content can be identified properly, as once identification is lost, it is extremely difficult (and context dependent) to restore it again. Contained resources may have profiles and tags in their meta elements, but SHALL NOT have security labels.
