ChargeItemDefinition | Medplum
The ChargeItemDefinition resource provides the properties that apply to the (billing) codes necessary to calculate costs and prices. The properties may differ largely depending on type and realm, therefore this resource gives only a rough structure and requires profiling for each type of billing code system.
Elements
| Name | Required | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| url | ✓ | uri | Canonical identifier for this charge item definition, represented as a URI (globally unique) Details An absolute URI that is used to identify this charge item definition when it is referenced in a specification, model, design or an instance; also called its canonical identifier. This SHOULD be globally unique and SHOULD be a literal address at which at which an authoritative instance of this charge item definition is (or will be) published. This URL can be the target of a canonical reference. It SHALL remain the same when the charge item definition is stored on different servers. Can be a urn:uuid: or a urn:oid: but real http: addresses are preferred. Multiple instances may share the same URL if they have a distinct version. The determination of when to create a new version of a resource (same url, new version) vs. defining a new artifact is up to the author. Considerations for making this decision are found in Technical and Business Versions. In some cases, the resource can no longer be found at the stated url, but the url itself cannot change. Implementations can use the meta.source element to indicate where the current master source of the resource can be found. |
| identifier | Identifier[] | Additional identifier for the charge item definition Details A formal identifier that is used to identify this charge item definition when it is represented in other formats, or referenced in a specification, model, design, or an instance. Typically, this is used for identifiers that can go in an HL7 V3 II (instance identifier) data type, and can then identify this charge item definition outside of FHIR, where it is not possible to use the logical URI. |
|
| version | string | Business version of the charge item definition Details The identifier that is used to identify this version of the charge item definition when it is referenced in a specification, model, design or instance. This is an arbitrary value managed by the charge item definition author and is not expected to be globally unique. For example, it might be a timestamp (e.g. yyyymmdd) if a managed version is not available. There is also no expectation that versions can be placed in a lexicographical sequence. ... |

| text | Narrative | Text summary of the resource, for human interpretation Details A human-readable narrative that contains a summary of the resource and can be used to represent the content of the resource to a human. This narrative need not encode all the structured data, but is required to contain sufficient detail to make it 'clinically safe' for a human to just read the narrative. |
The ChargeItemDefinition holds all relevant billing information pertaining to a billing code or a product.
Billing Codes may be defined in a CodeSystem Resource, however, each of these codes - if it is used in a financial context - can have a large number of business rules and properties associated with it, that lay outside the scope of CodeSystem and may change in time independently from the underlying Code's validity period.
