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:

Resource	Description
Composition	type: should be a code representing Coverage Eligibility Request document type. section: The document shall have one section with a single entry having reference to CoverageEligibilityRequest resource. structure definition: CoverageEligibilityRequest Document
CoverageEligibilityRequest	The document must contain a CoverageEligibilityRequest resource. FHIR Profile: link structure definition: CoverageEligibilityRequest
Patient	The document should contain a Patient resource with minimal required information about the patient (refer to rows #38-42 in the “Coverage eligibility check” sheet). FHIR Profile details: Patient resources should mandatorily have an NDHM identifier. Patient resources can also have a hospital Id (Medical record number). Patient resources can also have an insurance id (PMJAY ID). Patient resources can also have employee IDs and other business identifiers. structure definition: Patient
Coverage	The document should contain one or more Coverage resources with minimal information of the policy about which the information is requested (refer to row#30 in the “Coverage eligibility check” sheet). FHIR Profile details: Coverage resources should mandatorily have an identifier for the policy ID issued by the insurer. structure definition: Coverage

Claim Request

Claim object is used by providers to submit pre-authorization and claim requests to the payers. The same eObject can be used for both these use cases and the usage can be differentiated by the value of “claim.use” element. The value of this element should be set as “preauthorization” for Pre-Authorization requests and as “claim” for Claim requests.

Claim Response

ClaimResponse object is used by payers to send the response for pre-authorization and claim requests to the providers. The same eObject can be used for both these use cases and the usage can be differentiated by the value of “ClaimResponse.use” element. The value of this element should be set as “preauthorization” for Pre-Authorization responses and as “claim” for Claim responses.
