Details

This project has been updated many times, each update is a unique PSS in Confluence, those links are in the Project Document Repository.

Below is the initial project description from the Confluence PSS for Payer Data Exchange (PDex) (Update 3). View the PSS on Confluence for the entire description.

This project will define exchange methods (e.g. push, pull, triggers, subscription, bulk), use of other interoperability 'standards' (e.g. CDS Hooks and SMART on FHIR) and specific use of FHIR resources to effectively exchange payer information regarding current, previous, or potential future care, including the provenance of the data, of one or more specific patients/members with authorized individuals and organizations including providers responsible for evaluating/specifying/ordering/delivering care for the patient. The scope includes exchange of member specific or general program related data such as network information (e.g. provider directory) and drug benefits (formulary).


Updated to include exchanges with members, other payers and third parties

Providers, members, interested individuals, and other payers need access to payer information including current and prior healthcare services received by the patient/member and plan information to more effectively manage the patients care and make informed healthcare decisions. Currently, no other FHIR implementation guides exists to standardize the method of exchange (push, pull, triggers, subscription, etc.) or the formal representation (e.g. Bundles, Profiles and Vocabulary) for specific elements of payer information of interest to providers, members, interested individuals, and other payers. This implementation guide will provide a standard for adoption by payers, providers, and third party applications for the exchange of payer information. This project will address many of the payer exchange requirements covered in May 1, 2020 CMS Final Rule on Interoperability.

On March 4 2019, CMS issued a Notice of Proposed Rule Making (NPRM) requiring that that covered payers (Medicare Advantage, Medicaid, CHIP and FFE Qualified Health Plans) make specific data available to their members. In addition, payers must make clinical data available to another health plan and/or third party application at the members request. In addition to the clinical data, the payer must also make the provider network directory information available to the member via the API. On May 1, 2020, CMS and ONC issued their final rules and selected FHIR R4 as the release for certification. This PSS has been updated to reflect the final rule requirements for FHIR R4
