The coverage form Grahame mentioned at his final keynote is available at http://test.fhir.org/coverage.html, in case you didn't copy the url down

There is no type such as Social Security Number ...
Vadim Peretokin (Nov 22 2017 at 09:29):
Maybe it's the social beneficiary identifier?
Jens Villadsen (Nov 22 2017 at 09:37):
guess it could be ... the case is the same in the Sweden and Norway if I'm not mistaken - and probably also Iceland (and maybe Finland) ... - what is essential is that this ID is nation wide and is accepted as an ID in all public and private systems - which is why it probably is more correct to call it an National Identification Number (so it goes way beyond 'social' stuff and coverage entries actually )... but that is not an option either ...

In England (UK) we have NHS Number, it's not normally used as a Medical Record Number. The closest I could find is 'National Insurance Payor Identifier' but that seems to be a 'bismarck' health model insurance identifier rather than a 'Bevan' identifier.

Why or what use case is there for the Social Security number being on a Coverage? Would you not have the Social as an Identifier on Patient?
