      Two new supportingInfo slices for IP, OP, and Professional EOB will be defined for medicalrecordnumber and patientaccountnumber.  We will create two new slices with a cardinality of (0..1) and marked as Must Support. The valueString will be (1..1). The slices were removed from patientidentifier and medicalrecordnumber and patientaccountnumber were added to the supportingInfo slice discriminator.

    Description

      Two patient identifiers defined as Must Support in the Patient resource , MedRecNum & PatAcctNum, are assigned by providers.  These identifiers are unique for each member for a specific claim.

      The values change every time a new claim is created for a member and cause implementers to update Patient data every time a claim is received.   It seems this data does not truly serve the purpose as a patient identifier.  

      Implementers requested guidance.  view it in Zulip.
