Da Vinci summary- HL7 Virtual Connectathon - January 2022

Call for Testers! Particularly for PDex on:

  1. The inclusion of Prior Auth status and notice via EOB resource (do we have all the right elements? Incorporating examples)

Share updated status on Mutual TLS, UDap, and Consent discussions. Robert Dieterle 

  • UDAP Conversation from 12/14
  • DV Architecture Call on 12/16
  • Focus on Options and testing at Connectathon
  • Next Steps

Can support a UDAP stack with a trading partner and will meet requirements for Mutual TLS.

Payer to Payer exchange: Moving consent resource back to member-match. If consent is revoked on either side there is no action taken (no query/no response). IG to be updated by first week in Jan 2022.




PDex IG Updates

Mark Scrimshire Share updates to PDex IG to Section 4.0.3 including:

  • Moving table up
  • Example to $export in the Bulk Guide


Implementer Support Questions

For member-match there is a requirement for the requester to have the consent, but the receiver does not have to store the consent resource b/c it s not referenced. 

Future discussions should be had regarding  how payers handle the consent resource for those parties acting on behalf of the patient (caregiver/parent).
