Determining what is In scope versus out-of-scope for PAS ver (opens chat.fhir.org)
Should the mapping support Loop 2000E SV3 and the claim.type 'oral' value, or is it out of scope? What determines transformation scope between PAS 2.2.1 and X12 005010 X217?
Implementers should treat SV3 and dental content as out of scope for PAS 2.2.1 to X12 278 5010 transformations, per the IG's supported use cases section.
Scope is determined by two things: X12 Glass documents what is currently mapped, but the spec has moved since the original maps, and a new mapping initiative is ongoing. The PAS 2.2.1 IG 'supported use cases' section lists items out of scope, and it names SV3 and dental as out of scope. Confirmed by a participant that this is the referenced section. Not stated explicitly whether 'oral' claim.type is out of scope.
The new mapping initiative is ongoing; no specific next action is stated in the thread.

PAS Claim.Identifier.System (opens chat.fhir.org)
In the Claim resource, would there always be one identifier with system value urn:trnorg:<TRN03>? Why is the maximum Claim.identifier cardinality 2?
Receivers should accept one or two Claim identifiers and should not reject a Claim whose identifier system is not urn:trnorg, per the SHOULD wording; the TRN-mapping rationale is explained but no change to the standard is proposed.
Per a reply citing the published PAS 2.2.1 package: Claim.identifier is 1..2 (unsliced) in profile-claim and profile-claim-update, and 1..1 in profile-claim-inquiry. Claim.identifier.system is 1..1 with a SHOULD to use urn:trnorg:<TRN03> for the TRN. A later reply from the IG side says Claim.identifier maps to the X12 TRN segment (as does ClaimResponse.identifier). The maximum of 2 comes from X12, which allows an originating claim TRN plus one added by any clearinghouse. A SHALL was considered,

Mapping of claim.item.productOrService code to SV1 or SV2 (opens chat.fhir.org)
Can the Claim.type-based SV1/SV2 mapping pattern also be used for the PAS Response Bundle to 278-11 transformation (ClaimResponse.type institutional vs professional)?
Implementers may apply the same ClaimResponse.type-based SV1/SV2 mapping when transforming a PAS Response Bundle to 278-11, per the informal answer; no specification text change is recorded.
Earlier answer: Claim.type distinguishes institutional (SV2) from professional (SV1); dental (SV3) not supported in PAS 2.2.1; presence of Claim.item.revenue also indicates SV2. Follow-up: a participant asked if the same pattern applies to the Response Bundle using ClaimResponse.type, populating item and additem productOrService into SV2 or SV1. Respondent answered yes. No work group decision recorded.

PAS Claim - careTeam:All Slices Provider References (opens chat.fhir.org)
Why does PAS Claim 2.2.1 require careTeam provider to be Organization or PractitionerRole rather than Practitioner, when X12 mappings point to Practitioner elements? Follow-up asks what PractitionerRole provides beyond Claim.careTeam.role and qualification.
Implementers cannot send a bare Practitioner as a careTeam provider in PAS Claim 2.2.1 and must use Organization or PractitionerRole; the X12 mapping inconsistency may be revisited.
A work group response said PAS allows the Organization as a PAS Organization and the Practitioner as a PAS PractitionerRole, because PractitionerRole identifies a practitioner working for a specific Organization. Contact details can differ per practitioner-organization combination, and one practitioner may work for several organizations, so a bare Practitioner is not allowed as a careTeam provider. A follow-up participant questioned whether PractitionerRole.code is what the 278 needs and whether
Await a work group response to the follow-up on what PractitionerRole adds over Claim.careTeam.role and qualification for the 278 mapping.

Links open the source, which asks you to sign in if the discussion needs it. This page shows the newest entries the feed returns, not a complete archive. Summaries, including the Impact sentence, are written by a model from the discussion and say so until they are reviewed; they name no one. Stages, Impact categories and Jira statuses come from the thread and from HL7 Jira, not from a work group's formal record. A discussion whose chat has gone quiet stays listed while its Jira items are open or moving.
