Usage Notes

Profile specific implementation guidance:

• See each Identifier profile page for guidance related to that identifier type.
• When populating the type:
  • Medicare coverage SHOULD be represented by sending the V3 Value SetActCoverageTypeCode code "PUBLICPOL"
  • DVA coverage SHOULD be represented by sending the V3 Value SetActCoverageTypeCode code "VET"
  • Private health insurance coverage SHOULD be represented by sending the V3 Value SetActCoverageTypeCode code "HIP"
  • Workcover coverage SHOULD be represented by sending the V3 Value SetActCoverageTypeCode code "WCBPOL"
  • Motor Accident coverage SHOULD be represented by sending the V3 Value SetActCoverageTypeCode code "AUTOPOL"
  • Private (self funded) coverage SHOULD be represented by sending the Coverage SelfPay Codes code "pay"
  • Concession coverage, for example Health Care Card or Pensioner Concession Card, SHOULD be represented by sending the Coverage SelfPay Codes code "payconc"
