Topic: value set for coverage type
Ravindra Kondiparthi (May 15 2019 at 23:44):
Hi,
I am trying to find the right code for "24 hour coverage" in http://www.hl7.org/fhir/valueset-coverage-type.html value set.
since http://www.hl7.org/fhir/valueset-coverage-type.html is preferred value set I want to use this rather than creating something new.
Also any plans on adding other to code set ?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Ravi

@Ravindra Kondiparthi I am guessing you mean that the binding for the valueset-coverage-type is preferred from the Coverage Resource.
Within that context, that means that you should use one of the values in the current valueset if it matches your needs but you can supply additional values if the current valueset does not (which seems to be the situation here). To get additional values added, you will need to submit a tracker which would then be considered by the Financial Management work group. If you submit a request to add the value, it always helps if you bring your use case so that everyone can understand the need.
