The Billable CMET is a choice amongst the various billable acts that have the clinical content for services and/or products that are included in financial Invoices (billing).

In addition, there is a CrossReference used to reference a previous billable act by including its service/product identifier. The cross reference can only be used to reference another billable act within the same physical message (otherwise, this would require the receiver of the message to keep a large number of identifiers).

Additional CMETs will be added to the choice box over time as other billable acts are identified and modeled.

Description

Note: This CMET is normative in the HL7 V3 2006 Normative Edition. This is release 1 of A_Coverage.

The Coverage CMET is used to reference an insurance policy for a specific covered party. For the purposes of this CMET, the covered party may not actually be named on the insurance policy (e.g. pedestrian in an auto accident), but may be specified as a covered party when submitting a claim for services.

The policy is described by its policy identifier (may be made up of multiple parts such as plan id, group id, division, section, etc.), type (e.g. private, public, auto, WCB), status and effective date (i.e. date policy in effect).

The author of the policy, known as the insurance carrier, may be noted.

Up to 1 beneficiary/covered party/insured can be specified. Note: more than one beneficiary typically exists for family plans, but only 1 is noted for this CMET. The covered party may be either an animal (e.g. pet insurance) or individual. If the covered party is an individual, then the parent or guardian may be specified for under age individuals.

The policy holder/subscriber may also be noted as an individual (e.g. parent) or organization (e.g. employer).

Parent:  Claims & Reimbursement (FICR_DM000000UV03)
Description

Note: This CMET was new for the Jan 2007 ballot. This is release 2 of A_Coverage, membership ballot 2.

Overview:

The Coverage universal CMET provides detailed information about coverage under any kind of insurance policy or government program (P/P). This CMET is intended to convey coverage information needed to manage, for example, accounts receivables related to the provision of services related to benefits; eligibility determination, eligibility verification, enrollment, and administration of a Covered Party's record.

Policies are differentiated from programs because of substantial differences in their rules for eligibility determination, the types of benefits covered, the rules for coverage, their accountability and oversights, and the degree to which coverage decisions, premiums, reimbursements, and financial participations are related to insurance risk. A policy for insurance coverage is risk based and typically underwritten by a commercial entity. A program is typically subsidized by government funds; not wholly risk-based; and sponsored, underwritten, and administered by government entities or their contractors.

Coverage is to be distinguished from benefits in that benefits are promised under the terms of the contract and awarded if the terms of the contract are met. Coverage is the potential to be awarded benefits. Coverage is "actualized" when an underwriter recognizes and pays the claim for a benefit, e.g., a service required to indemnify the Covered Party for a loss that is covered or "indemnified" under the terms of a policy or program.

The type of benefits that may be covered under a policy or program is specified by the covered benefits(s). A policy or program covers or explicitly does not cover benefits. Each benefit type is a list of financial, service, or product benefits that may be covered, and may include conditions relating to whether the loss indemnified meets the coverage terms. With respect to a health P/P, this may include whether the service is a covered benefit; the medical necessity of the service; and the type and affiliation of providers who may render the services; and may include the financial participation required of a covered party such as deductibles, coinsurance, and copays, and the limits of coverage. With respect to a property and casualty policy, whether the losses result from perils insured against, and may include information relating to the type of property covered, locations covered, individuals' insured, financial participation such as deductibles, and the limits of indemnification. In life insurance covered services specify the causes of death that are explicitly covered or not covered, the benefits covered for beneficiaries, and may include conditions under which the covered party with a terminal illness may receive benefits under the policy while living.

Structurally, this CMET supports conveyance of an entity's coverage record, which may be composed of zero to many P/Ps. A P/P for coverage is an instance of a contract or program that is effective for a specified time period, and may have priority in terms of liability for coverage over other P/Ps in effect. It is the scope of benefits that may be covered, the costs for which the policy holder is indemnified against by the underwriter.

This CMET is a second release of the A_Coverage COCT_RM180000, and is derived from the yet to be released FICO_RM030000 Entity Eligibility Details. This CMET will be used in the FIAB Account Management messages to convey P/P information related to an account. It may also be used in the Patient RMIM (PRPA_RM201301) in future iterations.

The beneficiary of the service to which coverage applies is not referenced in this CMET, since it is inherited from the parent model that uses this CMET, and is in most cases played by the same entity that plays the CoveredParty role. When this CMET is used in the Patient RMIM, the beneficiary and covered party is typically the patient. An exception to this rule is that under some health P/P (1) a newborn may be a patient and a beneficiary, but is not the CoveredParty; in that case, the mother plays the CoveredParty role; or (2) the beneficiary may be a family member of a patient and covered party to whom counseling or care instructions relating to the patient is being provided.

CoverageRecord

The focal class of the Coverage CMET is the CoverageRecord class. This is a grouper class whose purpose is to group one or more policies or programs (P/Ps). It can group many P/Ps under different act statuses. That is, it may be used to group together those P/Ps which are:

...active (in one group) versus

...cancelled (in another group) versus

...suspended versus

...yet to become effective

The parent model should allow this CMET to repeat.

The attributes of the CoverageRecord are:

The CoverageRecord classCode: This class has an act type of Coverage.

The CoverageRecord moodCode: The mood of this act is Event, that is, the coverage contract is something that actually happens.

A beneficiary may not have coverage, the coverage may be unknown, or there may be a record of coverage (CoverageRecord) that includes 0...* coverages, the applicability of which may be known or unknown at a particular point in time. This CMET is intended to support all of these use cases. This is conveyed differently depending upon the context in which the A_Coverage CMET is used.

To indicate that a Patient in the Patient PRPA_RM201301 has no coverage, the Participation coveredPartyOf would not be sent. If it is unknown, a null flavor may be sent.

To indicate that a patient in the FIAB_RM10000 Release 2 has no coverage, the ActRelationship Coverage would not be sent. If it is unknown, a null flavor may be sent.

To indicate that a beneficiary has a record of coverage that includes 0...* coverages, the applicability of which may be known or unknown at a particular point in time, the A_Coverage CMET is sent. If the CoverageRecord has no component P/Ps, this indicates that the beneficiary has a record of coverage that includes no information about P/Ps. The CoverageRecord may consist of one or more P/Ps that have status codes indicating that they are not in effect or suspended. It may include one or more P/Ps under which the beneficiary is not covered because the type of encounter or services required are not covered by these P/Ps. Alternatively, the CoverageRecord could consist of a charity program for which a beneficiary without alternative coverages may be eligible.

The CoverageRecord statusCode: The status of the grouped P/Ps, that is, active, cancelled, completed (expired), suspended, etc. To be specified by a code from the ActStatus code.

The CoverageRecord effectiveTime: The effective date range of the statusCode for this CoverageRecord for this group of P/Ps. This may be important for billing purposes to ensure that coverage information used in a claim is current for the dates of service.

The CoverageRecord may be associated with zero to one beneficiary, which may be represented by R_Patient (univeral) CMET or the Beneficiary Role

The attributes of the Beneficiary are:

The Beneficiary classCode: This class has a a role type of Qualified Entity as denoted by the roleClassCode QUAL, which is an entity that has been recognized as having certain characteristics qualitying it as the beneficiary of services that may be covered by a policy or program within the coverage record.

The Beneficiary code: he type of beneficiary may be specified by a code from the QualifiedRoleType value set, which is used to further qualify an entity playing a qualified role.

The Beneficiary id: Optionally one or more unique identifiers for the beneficiary.

The Beneficiary status: The state of the beneficiary role may be specified by a code from the RoleStatus domain, e.g., the player of the role may be an applicant pending eligibility determination by the scoping organization.

The Beneficiary may be played by an organization, or a living subject, which may be a person.

The Beneficiary is scoped by an organization that sets the criteria for qualifying as a beneficiary.

The CoverageRecord will always be linked to one or more P/Ps.

PolicyOrProgram: This is an instance of a policy or program that is in effect.

The component relationship typeCode: The purpose of this ActRelationship link is that the CoverageRecord "has components".

The component relationship priorityNumber: This link attribute prioritizes coverages, that is, "1" is the primary coverage, "2" is the secondary coverage, etc. Coverage priority determines which of the P/Ps has primary responsibility for coverage and will impact coordination of benefits during the adjudication process.

The attributes of the PolicyOrProgram are:

The PolicyOrProgram classCode: This class has an act type of Coverage.

The PolicyOrProgram moodCode: The mood of this act is Event, that is, the coverage contract is something that actually happens.

The PolicyOrProgram id: One or more unique identifiers for this policy or program. Required to be sent if available.

The PolicyOrProgram code: The coverage type of the P/P shall be specified by a code from the ActCoverageTypeCode value set, e.g., a policy for health, property and casualty, or life insurance, or a program for worker compensation, crime victim compensation, or government subsidized health program .

The PolicyOrProgram statusCode: The status of this P/P, that is, active, cancelled, completed (expired), suspended.

The PolicyOrProgram effectiveTime: The policy or program's effective date and expiration date. This is the plan begin and end date range.

A PolicyOrProgram has associations to the following classes.

CoveredParty:

The P/P is required to be linked to one and only one CoveredParty role if known, which must be played by a kind or instance of a person, an organization, or a non-person living subject that is eligible for P/P benefits. Under a health insurance policy, the Covered Party is the person who is either the subscriber or dependent named in the P/P. Under a health program, the Covered Party is a program eligible. Under property and casualty insurance, the covered party is, for example, the claimant in a liability case or auto accident. Under life insurance, the Covered Party is the person in whose life the beneficiary has an insurable interest. Under reinsurance, the Covered Party is an underwriter. If the CoveredParty is not known, a null flavor is sent.

Both subscriber and dependent can be covered parties (aka beneficiaries). Whether the patient is the subscriber or dependent is distinguished by Beneficiary role code.

A CoveredParty may be a single person, organization, or non-person living subject. A designated population that is not individually differentiated as members of a group may play the role of Covered Party by being a "kind" of person or non-person living subject receiving benefits under a P/P, e.g., reproductive health education provided to all seventh grade children in a school district; needle exchange provided to all needle users within vicinity; or vaccination of a herd of cattle. Note that a kind of organization may not be a Covered Party.

A Covered Party may or may not be played by the same entity who is the beneficiary, e.g., the Covered Party under a life insurance policy is typically not the beneficiary of the policy except in the case of a viatical settlement where the policy is sold at a discount from its face value to pay for care for a terminal illness.

Covered Parties may be scoped by any of the Organizations playing participatory roles in the P/P as underwriters, sponsors or payors.

The CoveredParty participation typeCode: This ActRelationship shall associate one and only one CoveredParty as the target of coverage under the P/P.

The CoveredParty participation sequenceNumber: When a P/P covers multiple named parties, this is the optional ranking order of the covered party, e.g., under a health policy, the subscriber would usually be first.

The CoveredParty negationID: Indicates that the CoveredParty is not covered under a particular P/P under the circumstances. For example, although the beneficiary's CoverageRecord indicates coverage under a worker compensation program, if the current encounter is not work-related, then the person playing the CoveredParty with respect to the worker compensation program may not be deemed to have coverage under that program at the initiation of an encounter. However, this status may change during the course of the encounter if there is a subsequent finding that the patient condition is in fact work-related.

The CoveredParty classCode: This shall be specified by a code from the RoleClassCoveredParty value set, e.g., claimant, program eligible, named insured, individual, subscriber, or dependent.

The CoveredParty id: The primary identifiers for this covered party role, assigned/scoped by either the sponsor, the underwriter or payor. These identifiers are the Covered Party's identification numbers on under a policy or program, and may be carried on an identification card. In atypical cases, there may be more than one, e.g., covered party under a Medicaid managed care plan may be identified with both the person's identifier as a Medicaid eligible and the identifier assigned by the contracting Medicaid managed care plan. The covered party identifier is not necessarily an OID, but may be based on the root OID of the assigning entity.

The CoveredParty code: The type of covered party role is required to be specified by a code from the CoverageRoleType value set, which further specifies the Covered Party Role.class, e.g., handicapped, student, military, injured worker, animal, crime victim, unemployed worker, etc. For example, a Covered Party status may be the result of having a Role.class of Named Insured where the person playing the role has is covered under university health plan as a student. In addition or as an alternative, the same person may play a Covered Party with the Role.class of Dependent where that status is a result of also being a full time student under the age of 23. Thus, the CoveredParty Role.code of "full time student" further specifies both the Role.class of Named Insured and that of Dependent.

The CoveredParty addr: The address of the Covered Party.

The CoveredParty effectiveTime: The effective date and expiration date when the covered party is covered by the P/P. If a dependent is added or deleted from the P/P, then the dependent's effective dates will be different than the P/P effective dates. This is the benefit begin and end date range for the Covered Party.

The CoveredParty may be optionally linked to the PolicyHolder, who has indirect authority over the CoveredParty role status of the playing entity by virtue of discretion afforded the PolicyHolder to cover a particular entity or type of CoveredParty. For example, a PolicyHolder has discretion to purchase a automobile liability policy that covers family members, and may agree to insure only some of members of the family.

The CoveredParty may be the subject of zero or more A_Verifcation (universal) CMET and/or EligibilityStatusObservation, which convey information about the verification of the eligibility.

EligibilityStatusObservation:

The EligibilityStatusObservation classCode: This class has the act type of "observation".

The EligibilityStatusObservation moodCode: The mood of this act is Event, which conveys that an eligibility status observation occurred.

The EligibilityStatusObservation id: The unique identifier(s) for this observation act.

The EligibilityStatusObservation code: The result of the observation may be specified by a code from the ObservationEligibilityIndicatorType value set to indicate the type of information observed to establish eligibility. E.g., evidence of the covered party's health/socio-economic status.

The EligibilityStatusObservation value: Value related to the eligibility status evidence, e.g., a scanned copy of evidence.

PersonalRelationship

The PersonalRelationship Part RoleLink typeCode: The CoveredParty role may be further specified by the Part RoleLink association to its PersonalRelationship role, e.g. as a adopted child, dependent, spouse, etc., to a scoping person. This Personal Relationship is pertinent to the CoveredParty role where the scoper is also playing applicable ResponsibleParty roles, such as subscriber, trustee, or guardian and/or the PolicyHolder role.

The Covered Party may have zero to one personal relationships, which are prioritized in terms of their relevance to the CoveredParty role.

The PersonalRelationship Part participation priorityNumber: Related persons are prioritized in terms of their relevance to the covered party role. For example, the covered party is both the neice and the adopted child of the subscriber and the priorityNumber is which role is has priority for the coverage, i.e., the adopted child.

The PersonalRelationship Part participation effectiveTime: The date range of the personal relationship, that is the begin and end date range of a marriage, adoption, guardian relationship, etc.

PersonalRelationship classCode This role is played by a person.

PersonalRelationship code This code indicates what the personal relationship is with the covered party. This is required to be specified by a code from the PersonalRelationshipRoleType value set, that is, a personal relationship which is relevant to the covered party role, e.g., adopted child, spouse.

ResponsibleParty:

The ResponsibleParty is a person or organization who/which has indirect control over the covered party status. For example, when a CEO has life insurance provided by an employer, then the employer is the responsible party. A subscriber is usually the party responsible for the covered party status of a dependent. An executor of a will may be the party responsible for the healthcare coverage status of dependents.

The ResponsibleParty indirectAuthority participation typeCode: The responsible party may not have sole authority over the covered pary's status, but has partial authority. The policy holder may have overriding authority. A subscriber, who is an absentee parent, has indirect authority to choose not to cover dependents; however a government program may require that the subscriber enroll the dependents in lieu of more costly coverage under the government program.

The responsible party role may be played by a person, such as subscriber, trustee, guardian ad litem, who is authorized to act on behalf of the covered party.

The responsible party may be scoped by an organization, e.g.,a Guardian Ad Lidem may be scoped by a court.

The ResponsibleParty classCode: This role class type is agent, a player who is authorized to act on behalf of a scoper.

The ResponsibleParty code: The responsible party role type is required to be specified by a code from the ResponsibleParty value set. E.g., guardian (of a ward) or subscriber (of dependent).

PolicyHolder:

The P/P may be linked to zero or one PolicyHolder role. The policy holder is the one who holds the policy for health insurance or auto insurance. The holder may be the subscriber for health insurance. An employer may be the policy holder for employees. The policy holder may be a person or organization. The policy holder may be the same person as the covered party, when the subscriber is the patient.

If the covered party is the same person/entity as the policy holder (e.g., subscriber/insured), then the person in the CoveredParty's Beneficiary-CoveredPartyChoice box will be identical to the person in the policy holder's scoping EntityChoice box.

The Holder participation typeCode: The purpose of this ActRelationship link (between P/P and PolicyHolder) is that the P/P is "held by" the policy holder.

The PolicyHolder is an indirect authority over the fact that an entity is a CoveredParty for the policy holder's P/P. An employee/subscriber can add or remove a dependent from being a covered party under the P/P.

The PolicyHolder classCode: This class has a role type of "policy holder" that is scoped by either the sponsor or underwriter.

The PolicyHolder id: The primary identifier for this policy holder role is assigned by the underwriter.

The PolicyHolder addr: The address of the policy holder, which may differ from that of the covered party.

Sponsor

The P/P may be linked to zero or one Sponsor role. The sponsor is the party responsible for providing coverage, e.g., a governmental agency. 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. An sponsor can be an employer, union, government agency, or association. The sponsor decides whether to enter into a coverage contract with an underwriter.

The author participation typeCode: The type of role for this relationship is "responsible party".

The author participation functionCode: An optional code specifying additional detail about the function that the Participation has in the Act, if such detail is not implied by the Participation.typeCode. This shall be specified by a code from the ParticipationFunction value set. New values being added Fall 2006.

The Sponsor classCode: This class has a role type of "sponsor".

The Sponsor id: Optionally one or more unique identifiers for the sponsor. For example, corporation identifiers.

The Sponsor code: The type of sponsor may be specified by a code from the CoverageSponsorRoleType value set, e.g., Multiple Employee Welfare Association (MEWA) or unions or chambers of commerce, which acts as an umbrella sponsor for their members. Some sponsors are fully insured, that is, they delegate risk downstream to an underwriter. Some sponsors are self-insured, that is they are both the sponsor and underwriter, and may also play the role of the payor.

The Sponsor name: The name of the sponsor.

The Sponsor addr: The address of the sponsor.

The Sponsor telecom: The contact numbers for the sponsor.

The Sponsor effectiveTime: The effective date range for an organization in this role of sponsor.

A Sponsor has direct authority over an Underwriter, as the party who contract with the underwriter.

A Sponsor Role may be scoped by an organization authorized to grant recognition to the entity playing this role. E.g., Jurisdictions may recognize an entity as (1) a government agency charged with sponsoring a subsidized health program; or (2) as a Multiple Employer Welfare Association responsible to sponsor health insurance for employees.

Underwriter

The P/P may be linked to zero or one Underwriter role. The underwriter is the author of the contract, for example, an insurance company, reinsurer, self-insured employer, or government sponsored program, such as U.S. Medicaid. There may be multiple underwriters involved in a P/P.

The author participation typeCode: The type of role for this relationship is "author" of the contract.

The author participation functionCode: An optional code which indicates how the underwriter and the payor participate in the coverage act. This shall be specified by a code from the ParticipationFunction value set, for example, primary, subcontracting, passing on risk. New values being added Fall 2006.

The Underwriter classCode: This class has a role type of "underwriter".

The Underwriter id: Optionally one or more unique identifiers for the underwriter. For example, an NAIC identifier.

The Underwriter name: The name of the underwriter.

The Underwriter addr: The address of the underwriter.

The Underwriter telecom: The contact numbers for the underwriter.

The Underwriter effectiveTime: The effective date range for an organization in this role of underwriter.

One underwriter may have direct authority over another underwriter. An underwriter for a P/P may contract with a second underwriter to provide reinsurance. An underwriter may also contract with other underwriters to provide a P/P for some subset of coverages, for example, a managed care plan may subcontract with a provider organization to assume risk for some covered parties. One underwriter may play the role of reinsurer or stop loss carrier to the underwriter that is the primary on the contract with the sponsor. This has consequences in healthcare because the reinsurer may take over the authorization of benefits when stop loss for a covered party is reached.

An Underwriter may have direct authority over a Payor, because they contracted with the payor to administer the P/P.

Payor

The P/P may be linked to zero or one Payor role. The payor is the party responsible for administering the P/P, e.g., paying claims/invoices.

Description

Note: This CMET is intended to replace or revise material in the HL7 V3 2006 Normative Edition standard. This is the first membership ballot for this CMET and its basic, referral and encounter variants.

Overview:

The BillableClinicalService universal CMET provides detailed clinical information on orderable or billable health care related services including clinical interventions, procedures or services; observations; accommodations; substance administration; encounters; transportation; oral health care; or any care provided to living subjects, required to support the generation or posting of a Charge; an Invoice, Pre-Determination, Coverage Extension or Authorization in the event and intent mood; or to describe detailed benefits covered under a policy or program in the definition mood.

The patient may be referenced in this billable act via the R_Patient (universal), or it may be inherited from the parent model (as CoveredPartyAsPatient or the R_Patient CMET information that may propagate from an ancestral A_Charge). If patient information contained in this CMET differs from patient information propagated from any ancestor Acts to which the A_BillableClinicalService CMET is associated, then it the patient information at this level overrides that propagated by the ancestor, but does not propagate further.

The service ordered (intent mood) or billed (event mood) is specified in the ClinicalBillableService act. Information relating to the service includes details about the provider (performer), and one or more assisting providers, e.g., a supervisor (as secondary performers), referrers, or consultants. Substitution can be indicated. Details relating to an encounter for the service and any related diagnosis may be sent.

Reasons for the service may be an injury, which may or may not be an accident, and may include a description of the injury site location. The location where a service was provided may be indicated as well as the location where a specimen was collected.

If the service was provided in the context of an encounter, admit and discharge dates may need to be specified.

If the service affected a product (e.g. repair a wheelchair), then the product is identified.

If the service involved a reusable device (e.g. durable medical equipment), then the device is identified.

Please note that in an Invoice, the billing codes transmitted may or may not differ from the clinical information coding. Clinical information is carried in this BillableClinicalService CMET included in the Invoice, however, the billing codes themselves are in the InvoiceElementDetail.code and InvoiceElementDetail.modifierCode, not in this CMET.
