Table 3. Basket Detail
Field Description

Procedure

Renewal Reference

Specifies the as-of date that is used to determine which period applies for the basket detail limit when a claim line is evaluated in Claims. The following as-of dates can be specified:

  • After Start of Calendar Year - in short: Calendar Year. The first period starts at January 1st of the year of the service.

  • After First Claim - in short: First Claim. The first time the period starts at the service date (claim line start date). Because claims need not come in the logical order (oldest first), the periods possibly need to be rearranged as more claims come in.

  • After First Claim (irregular periods) - in short: First Claim Irregular. Same as the First Claim reference, with the difference that the periods are irregular.

If no reference is specified, this means that the basket detail limit has no fixed period.

The length of the renewal period (must be specified in combination with a renewal reference)

Renewal Period Unit of Measure

The unit of measure (Day, Month or Year) for the renewal period length (must be specified in combination with a renewal reference)

Authorized Units

The authorized units for the procedure

Authorized Service Days

The authorized service days for the procedure

Start Date

The start date of the basket detail

End Date

Note that basket details have no unique key. This makes it possible to create multiple basket details for the same basket and procedure that have time overlap, for example when wanting to specify that a certain drug is authorized for 12 units per year, but with a maximum of 1 unit per month.
