Description
The identifer.code for Social Security number is required to be SB.
Looks like SS is the preferred code – https://terminology.hl7.org/5.2.0/CodeSystem-v2-0203.html SB = social benefits number, while SS is social security number. Although an SSN is a social benefits number, SS should be preferred, even if SB is allowed.
