  COVPTY	covered party	A role class played by a person who receives benefit coverage under the terms of a particular insurance policy. The underwriter of that policy is the scoping entity. The covered party receives coverage because of some contractual or other relationship with the holder of that policy. *Discussion:*This reason for coverage is captured in 'Role.code' and a relationship link with type code of indirect authority should be included using the policy holder role as the source, and the covered party role as the target.

Thus the notion of covered party is a role that is distinct from that of the policy holder.

  POLHOLD	policy holder	A role played by a person or organization that holds an insurance policy. The underwriter of that policy is the scoping entity. *Discussion:*The identifier of the policy is captured in 'Role.id' when the Role is a policy holder.

  QUAL	qualified entity	An entity (player) that has been recognized as having certain training/experience or other characteristics that would make said entity an appropriate performer for a certain activity. The scoper is an organization that educates or qualifies entities.
  SPNSR	coverage sponsor	A role played by an entity, usually an organization that is the sponsor of an insurance plan or a health program.

Fully insured sponsors establish the terms of the plan and contract with health insurance plans to assume the risk and to administer the plan.

Sponsors qualify individuals who may become 1. a policy holder of the plan; 2. where the sponsor is the policy holder, who may become a subscriber or a dependent to a policy under the plan; or 3. where the sponsor is a government agency, who may become program eligibles under a program. The sponsor role may be further qualified by the SponsorRole.code.
