https://build.fhir.org/ig/HL7/UTG/CodeSystem-v2-0203.html lists SB as Social Beneficiary Identifier and SS as Social Security number.
Is SS a subset of SB?
Which should we use for a US SSN?
Lloyd McKenzie (Sep 04 2021 at 19:33):
In FHIR, you're expected to use SB. It's in the extensible value set, and SS is not. (Because SS refers to a specific identifier namespace rather than a generic type of identifiers.)
