description: This profile sets minimum expectations for a Coverage resource to record, search, and fetch information about a patient's public or private insurance coverage. It is based on the [AU Base Coverage](http://build.fhir.org/ig/hl7au/au-fhir-base/StructureDefinition-au-coverage.html) resource and identifies the *additional* mandatory core elements, extensions, vocabularies and value sets that **SHALL** be present in the Coverage when conforming to this profile. It provides the floor for standards development for specific uses cases in an Australian context.
