From CMS’ Best Practices for Payers and App Developers

“CMS released the Interoperability and Patient Access final rule on March 9, 2020. This final rule requires most CMS-regulated payers to implement and maintain a secure, standards-based Patient Access Application Programming Interface (API) (using Health Level 7® (HL7) Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources® (FHIR) Release 4.0.1) that allows patients to easily access their claims and encounter information, including cost (specifically provider remittances and enrollee cost-sharing), as well as a defined sub-set of their clinical information through third-party applications of their choice.”

Modeled on the Technology at the Heart of the CMS Blue Button 2.0 API

The Blue Button 2.0 API is central to CMS’ new interoperability regulations. CMS requires health plans to provide information to patients in the same way the agency does through Blue Button 2.0.

NewWave, Onyx’s parent company, built the Blue Button 2.0 API for CMS, supporting more than 60 million Americans. Onyx transformed the Blue Button 2.0 offering into OnyxOS to provide the same capabilities to industry and other federal agencies. This translates into benefits for you!

  • Guaranteed compliance with federal regulations
  • Massively scalable (built on Microsoft Azure)
  • Security and consent management out of the box
  • Capabilities to ingest various data formats

Some of the large Blue plans and sizable commercial health plans already deploy OnyxOS to meet their requirement for FHIR-based data interoperability.

OnyxOS transforms the data you already have into actionable information to power your products and services.

Onyx Technology LLC is a healthcare interoperability solutions provider.
