      At present, the FHIR IG Publisher does not support directly referencing value sets in VSAC or PHINVADs. In principle this is no problem, but in practice, there are a series of issues since these sources require per-user access. The workaround has been to reproduce them in the IG.

      See: https://chat.fhir.org/#narrow/stream/179252-IG-creation/topic/are.20we.20able.20to.20point.20to.20VSAC.20for.20bindings.3F

      That said, mCODE doesn't actually use the Elixhauser Comorbidity Index, but asks for reporting of any comorbid conditions that are considered in the ECI, as represented by the value set: http://hl7.org/fhir/us/mcode/2019Sep/ValueSet-obf-ComorbidConditionVS.html, which includes the following concept codes:
