BCDA V2 Medicare Parts Coverage Resource Medicare Parts

[Andrew Fei]

Hi there,

I have some questions about how BCDA sends coverage dates as part of the coverage resource.

Will we receive the different Medicare Parts as different lines on the NDJSON file always?

For example, if a patient is on both Medicare Part A and Medicare Part B both starting on 1/1/2020, will the coverage resource say:
"type":{
    "coding":[{
        "system" : "Medicare",
        "code" : "Part A"
    }]

And a second line say
"type":{
    "coding":[{
        "system" : "Medicare",
        "code" : "Part B"
    }]

Or should we expect a single line to say
"type":{
    "coding":[{
        "system" : "Medicare",
        "code" : "Part A and B"
    }]

Hello,

Sorry for the delayed response and thank you for the question about how Parts A and B data is represented in the Coverage resource.

The Coverage resource will include separate items. One for Part A and one for Part B.

Thanks,
