Allocation

Health IDs (usually in ranges), maybe pre-allocated/reserved for systems/organizations.

  1. MCI -  Health IDs are in 98 & 99 series. These are reserved for on-demand patient creation scenarios.
  2. Other organizations - may have ranges allocated. This is not done adhoc, and follows a formal procedure. For example, it requires approval from relevant authorities and the task itself must be done only by admins post approval.
