Topic: UB standard code system url for revenue codes
Kimberly Kenna (Sep 09 2020 at 18:55):
What system url that should be used for CMS standard revenue code (from https://www.nubc.org/) when specifying a UB code in the Claim.item.revenue field? I have been able to find only http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/v2-0456 with the only associated valueset I see being https://terminology.hl7.org/1.0.0/ValueSet-v2-0456.html which contains only 7 higher level category codes from the total UB code set. In order to specify a code system that includes all the standard revenue codes, is a different CodeSystem that should be specified? Or does the http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/v2-0456 refer to the full list?

@Kimberly Kenna @Lloyd McKenzie Financial Management has met with the American Hospital Association (AHA), which is the custodian of the NUBC codes, to guide them in understanding HL7's need for unique identifiers for their Code Systems and ValueSets - they are working on their approach and will let us know when they have something, hopefully soon.
