It is critical that the information be treated as an indicator, with `confirmed` and `not-confirmed` values, rather than as a boolean-valued flag, due to the potential for mis-interpretation of a yes/no flag. In addition, representation that a system is capable of exchanging the information but does not know it for a particular patient should be represented with a data-absent-reason extension and a code of `unknown`."

  "description": "Codes that identify veteran status as `confirmed` or `not confirmed`. Confirming a Veteran's status can be useful for determining eligibility for discounts, services, preferential treatment, and certain jobs or education programs.\n\nA Veteran is a person who served in the active military, naval, air, or space service, and who was discharged or released under conditions other than dishonorable. Active duty service history in the Reserves and National Guard is considered active military service. Basic eligibility for VA benefits depends on the type of military service performed, the duration of the service, and the character of discharge or separation.\n\nA status of `not confirmed` does not necessarily mean that a person is not a Veteran. A person may have served without being entitled to the VA benefits of a Title 38 Veteran, or more research may be required to determine their status.",
