I am trying to find the codesystem definition for NUCC codes, so I can find out what filters are available. http://hl7.org/fhir/terminologies-systems.html does not provide this definition. Is there somewhere else I can find it?

@Sean Mahoney I suspect that what you are looking for may not actually exist (although I could just be unaware of it). THO has NUCC as a code system stub, with no properties or filters for FHIR defined. I'm not thinking of where else you would be able to look for it. It seems like you (or someone) will probably need to create it.

Thanks, if I need to create it, where do I start?

@Sean Mahoney Looking further, I think we're probably pretty close to having what you need. We have the CodeSystem resource that was used to populate the NUCC content on tx.fhir.org. It has properties defined for ''grouping', 'classification' and 'specialization', but it hasn't defined any filters for use in ValueSet.compose. That should be able to be pretty easily added. How we go about this depends somewhat on where you want this to be hosted (tx.fhir.org or your own server or other?) and how you want to use it.

Sean Mahoney is this what you are looking for? https://nucc.org/index.php/code-sets-mainmenu-41/provider-taxonomy-mainmenu-40/csv-mainmenu-57

Rob, we would be fine with it hosted on tx.fhir.org. We are trying to filter provider types by category (individual & non-individual for example). If we had a regex filter on the NUCC code we could do this. ( ^15 would return all “eye and service providers”).
