Hi Anil! The JIRA was created SR-605 Thank you and have a great day!

Hi Christina, Please submit your request in the Subset RFC Project in JIRA. You should have access now. Anil Patel

Good afternoon.. I am writing on behalf of TELUS Health as we have a requirement for two new codes to be added for "Athletic Therapist" and “Sexologist” to HealthcareProviderRoleType in support of healthcare claims. Both Athletic Therapists and Sexologists are recognized roles today and are used in paper claims processing. We currently use HealthcareProviderRoleType" in our HL7v3 and FHIR claims messaging and will need these role codes added in order to process these claims electronically. Can you please add a value of "SXT" with a display value of "Sexologist" and "Sexologue" as the French display name. As a description, I would recommend the description from the L’Ordre professionnel des sexologues du Québec as follows: "Sexologists assess people's sexual behavior and development in order to improve, maintain and restore their sexual health." Can you please add a value of "AT" with a display value of "Athletic Therapist" and "Thérapeute Sportif" as the French display name. As a description, I would recommend the description from the Canadian Athletic Therapists Association as follows: " Certified Athletic Therapists are best known for their quick-thinking on-field emergency care of professional and elite athletes. The first to respond when someone gets hurt, they are experts at injury assessment and rehabilitation. It’s that same mix of on-site care and active rehabilitation skills that makes Athletic Therapists so effective in treating the musculoskeletal (muscles, bones, and joints) injuries of all Canadians, whether on the field or in the clinic. Athletic therapists adhere to the Sports Medicine Model of care. They treat a wide range of patients, from kids with concussions to seniors recovering from hip replacement surgery, using various manual therapies, modalities, exercise prescription and even bracing and taping. The treatment varies but the objective doesn’t: an Athletic Therapist's goal is to help clients return to their usual activities, whether that means playing competitive sports or walking to the mailbox and back.” If you would like more information on this role, here is a reference to the associations that recognize these roles, https://athletictherapy.org/ and https://www.opsq.org/fr/ . However, I do not have access so I have NOT created a subset RFC in JIRA for this request. May you please grant me access? Many thanks, Christina Pinsonneault
