History and Background
The original Payer Content workgroup resulted in a level of peaked interest in the industry and a draft Blue Button format for claims data. Following the Meaningful Use and HIPAA modifications that enable and encourage users to access their clinical health information electronically, a similar model can be applied to financial health information. The continuation of this group will serve to convene a core group of payers and build a consensus around an Explanation of Benefits document that contains both administrative and clinical information presented in a human and machine readable formats. The particular use cases here will target consumer engagement, financial health guidance, and a distributed level of support between the payer and the patient.

Call for Participation
The BlueButton Plus (BB+) Initiative would like to invite you to join our latest working group effort, the BB+ 2013 Payor Content Workgroup. The goal of this workgroup is to convene a core group of payers and build a consensus around an Explanation of Benefits document that contains both administrative and clinical information presented in a human and machine readable formats. We need your expertise to futher our goal of developing a new common standard for financial health data that is accessible to the patient. Your commitment and participation are critical to our success and the ability to realize this goal. =Payer WG Project Charter= include component="page" wikiName="siframework" page="BB Payer WG Charter" =ARCHIVE: (Previous) 2012 Payer Workgroup Artifacts= include component="page" wikiName="siframework" page="BlueButton Plus - Initiative Contacts" include component="page" wikiName="siframework" page="space.template.inc_contentleft_end"
