SD.10 StructureDefinition-argo-coverage
argo-coverage-intro.md file
This profile sets minimum expectations for Coverage resource to update or create patient coverage information for the use in scheduling appointments.
Mandatory Data Elements
Each Coverage must have:
- a status
- a payor
- a plan id and name
The system Must Support if available:
- a Coverage resource ID
- a Subscriber ID
- a Subscriber (in case of dependent)
- type of coverage
- coverage period
Additional Profile specific implementation guidance:
- 
    The Coverage.subscriberelement references a Patient resource directly or indirectly through the RelatedPerson resource. If the Patient Id is unknown:- Option 1: Patient must be registered and Patient Id fetched before the Coverage interaction.
- Option 2: Transmit Patient, Coverage and if needed RelatedPerson as a Bundle transaction following the Bundle resource url rules.
- Option 3: Don’t transmit the subscriberelement when subscriber is the patient (in other words,Coverage.relationship= ‘self’). When subscriber is not the patient (in other words,Coverage.relationship!= ‘self’), contain the RelatedPerson resource and don’t transmit theRelatedPerson.patientelement.
