Verified steps

  1. Locate the CARIN BB Outpatient Institutional EOB profile in the IG and note differences from the Inpatient Institutional profile, particularly around hospitalization dates (not required) and revenue code requirements.
  2. Set EOB.type to the outpatient institutional claim type value and populate EOB.item entries with revenue codes (UB-04 revenue codes), HCPCS/CPT procedure codes, and service dates.
  3. Populate EOB.diagnosis with ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes, including principal and other diagnosis type slices as defined by the CARIN BB value sets.
  4. Include adjudication slices on EOB.item.adjudication and EOB.total for submitted, eligible, and benefit amounts, referencing the CARIN BB adjudication value set.
  5. Reference a CARIN BB Coverage resource in EOB.insurance and a CARIN BB Patient in EOB.patient; ensure identifiers conform to CARIN BB identifier type slicing.
  6. Run the FHIR $validate operation against the outpatient institutional profile canonical and verify the resource passes without errors on required must-support elements.
