Extension

Short Composition Billing Extension
Definition The billing raised for the visit this note documents: the service code, the diagnostic codes supporting it, and the units where the fee code is charged per unit. A complex extension rather than a Claim. R4 gives Composition no element for billing, and a separate Claim has its own lifecycle: it is submitted, adjudicated, reassessed and can be written off, all without the note changing. Carrying the billing on the note keeps what the clinician entered at closeout attached to what they wrote, which is the question this element answers. A Claim raised from it answers a different one and is expected to exist alongside. Code systems are provincial and are not constrained here. The service and diagnostic codes are Coding, and the system names the provincial schedule they were drawn from. A guide-level binding would have to pick a province. FIRST PASS. This extension is declared from its production shape rather than from a modelling pass. See the file comment for the canonical it publishes under and why that is not the URL the software writes today. MIGRATION. Nexus EMR writes this extension today at http://services.well.com/fhir/StructureDefinition/composition-billing. That address is live in stored notes and in code, and is under migration to the canonical declared here (FHIR-370). Write the canonical; when reading, match on the URL suffix composition-billing so that notes filed under either address are seen.

Extension.id

Short Unique id for inter-element referencing
Definition Unique id for the element within a resource (for internal references). This may be any string value that does not contain spaces.

Extension.extension

Short Additional content defined by implementations
Definition May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the element. To make the use of extensions safe and manageable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer can define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension.
Comments There can be no stigma associated with the use of extensions by any application, project, or standard - regardless of the institution or jurisdiction that uses or defines the extensions. The use of extensions is what allows the FHIR specification to retain a core level of simplicity for everyone.
