eObjects

This version of the HCX specification defines the domain model specifications required for the following eObjects:
Coverage Eligibility Request and Coverage Eligibility Response
Claim Request and Claim Response: These objects will be used for both Pre-Authorization and Claim use cases (and for Pre-Determination also in future).
Payment Notice and Payment Reconciliation
As mentioned in the design considerations for domain specification, the eObjects leverage HL7/FHIR4 specification and extend it, wherever required.
Coverage Eligibility Request
As per the design considerations and guidelines listed in the previous sections, the coverage eligibility request payload has to be created as an FHIR document bundle. The bundle should have the following resources:
