    Description

      PDEX defined their own code system to describe adjudication categories, for example:

      noncovered http://hl7.org/fhir/us/davinci-pdex/CodeSystem/PDexAdjudicationCS Noncovered The portion of the cost of this service that was deemed not eligible by the insurer because the service or member was not covered by the subscriber contract.
      priorpayerpaid http://hl7.org/fhir/us/davinci-pdex/CodeSystem/PDexAdjudicationCS Prior payer paid The reduction in the payment amount to reflect the carrier as a secondary payor.
      paidbypatient http://hl7.org/fhir/us/davinci-pdex/CodeSystem/PDexAdjudicationCS Paid by patient The amount paid by the patient at the point of service.
      paidtopatient http://hl7.org/fhir/us/davinci-pdex/CodeSystem/PDexAdjudicationCS Paid to patient paid to patient

      This looks very similar to an existing code system that describes adjudication categories:

      noncovered http://hl7.org/fhir/us/carin-bb/CodeSystem/C4BBAdjudication Noncovered The portion of the cost of this service that was deemed not eligible by the insurer because the service or member was not covered by the subscriber contract.
      priorpayerpaid http://hl7.org/fhir/us/carin-bb/CodeSystem/C4BBAdjudication Prior payer paid The reduction in the payment amount to reflect the carrier as a secondary payor.
      paidbypatient http://hl7.org/fhir/us/carin-bb/CodeSystem/C4BBAdjudication Paid by patient The amount paid by the patient at the point of service.
      paidtopatient http://hl7.org/fhir/us/carin-bb/CodeSystem/C4BBAdjudication Paid to patient paid to patient

      There should only be one code system (value set) that describes a clinical concept. In this case "adjudication category". Recommend using the existing code systems that define these terms instead of creating a pdex copy of them.

      As is, either an implementer codes with pdex and fails carinbb OR codes carinbb and fails pdex OR puts both codes everywhere and becomes bloat.
