Turnkey solution saves time and expense; improves member satisfaction
The CMS Interoperability and Patient Access Rule requires insurers that offer Medicare or Medicaid plans to implement and maintain a secure, FHIR Patient Access Application Programming Interface (API) that enables members to easily access:
- Claims information, including cost data
- Encounter Information
- Clinical Data, as defined by the United States Core Data for Interoperability (USCDI)
The rule enables members to use third party apps on their smartphones – effectively letting them exercise the same control over their health data as they do over financial, retail, and other consumer transactions. For more on what the new regulations mean for health plans, read our analysis.
