Interoperability Information
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) established the Interoperability and Patient Access rule (CMS9115-f)(85 FR 25510) to support the 21st Century Cures Act and executive Order in 2019 as a means to “to improve the quality and accessibility of information that Americans need to make informed health care decisions, including data about health care prices and outcomes, while minimizing reporting burdens on affected health care providers and payers.”

In support of that act, Signature Advantage Plan and Signature Advantage Community is working along with its respective vendors to provide you, the member, with greater access to your health insurance data. As a part of the first phase of this initiative, Signature Advantage Plan and Signature Advantage Community and its vendors are providing members with the ability to connect to their health insurance data using standardized Patient Access APIs.
To connect to your health plan information, you will need to select a compatible third-party Electronic Health/Medical Record (EHR/EMR) application that is FHIR compatible. Once a third-party application has been selected, then you will need to create a profile on the Member Access Portal at http://bhsmember.prod.healthaxis.net/.
As a user, you can allow third party applications access to your health information, otherwise accessible only through your insurance company. To gain access to your health insurance information, you will need to first register through the Member Portal and create a user account before connecting to your account via the third-party application of your choosing.
