Topic: Placeholder for Check Number i
Susan Crawford (Mar 03 2017 at 17:49):
We are using the ExplanationOfBenefit Resource and in need of a placeholder for the ‘check number’ when the claim has been paid. Can someone confirm if the ExplanationOfBenefit.payment.identifier (Identifier of the payment instrument) would be a valid option? Also, would it be appropriate to extend the Identifier Type Codes and add a value such a CHK (Code) Check Number (Display)? According to the FHIR specifications, this Identifier is a ‘business’ identifier.
Paul Knapp (Mar 03 2017 at 17:58):
yes, put check in the identifier.type

Thanks, Paul. This is my first time posting anything in Zulip. Thanks, John for keeping it light. I have lots more questions to come and I'm very new with FHIR.

Welcome to the list Susan don't be bashful, many of the people on the list are new to FHIR
Susan Crawford (Mar 03 2017 at 20:35):
Thanks, Andy. I'm working on that bashful part. :-)

This was an amusing thread on a Saturday morning :-)

@Paul Knapp Hi Paul. This is a follow-up question regarding the use of ExplanationOfBenefit.payment.identifier for the check number. We have recently discovered there can be multiple check numbers for a given claim that need to be stored. The ExplanationOfBenefit.payment has a cardinality of 0..1 and doesn't allow for multiple check numbers. Is this something I would need to request via gForge to get the cardinality changed to 0..*?
Andy Stechishin (May 19 2017 at 02:27):
@Susan Crawford Paul is currently vacationing and may not see your message. I think it is very reasonable to submit a GForge tracker with your request, so that FM can address it in an upcoming teleconference (and to make sure it doesn't get lost)
Susan Crawford (May 19 2017 at 15:17):
Thank you Andy. I hope Paul is having a great vacation.
Paul Knapp (May 24 2017 at 12:39):
Yes, please create a tracker item for this.
