This case-sensitive code system https://fhir.cognovis.de/praxis/CodeSystem/billing-counting-window defines the following codes:

CodeDisplayDefinition
day Day The calendar day containing the service.
session Session The clinical or billing session containing the service.
treatment-case Treatment case The treatment or billing case containing the service.
illness-case Illness case The illness episode containing the service.
physician-case Physician case The case formed by a patient and one physician.
quarter Quarter The calendar quarter containing the service.
calendar-year Calendar year The calendar year containing the service.
participation-year Participation year A year anchored to enrollment or contract participation.
lifetime Lifetime The complete known lifetime of the counting subject.
life-day Life day A day indexed from the patient's date of birth.
life-week Life week A week indexed from the patient's date of birth.
life-month Life month A month indexed from the patient's date of birth.
life-year Life year A year indexed from the patient's date of birth.
rolling-days Rolling days A parameterized number of days anchored to the service.
pregnancy Pregnancy The pregnancy episode containing the service.
treatment-week Treatment week A seven-day window indexed from the start of the treatment episode containing the service, independent of the calendar week boundary.
calendar-week Calendar week The calendar week containing the service, delimited by the week boundaries of the applicable calendar rather than by the treatment.
cycle-case Cycle case The treatment cycle containing the service, where care is organised as repeating cycles and each cycle counts separately.
reproduction-case Reproduction case The reproductive treatment case containing the service, spanning the measures that belong to one treatment attempt.
subsequent-quarter-after-anchor Subsequent quarter after anchor A calendar quarter that follows the quarter containing a declared anchor event. The direction is fixed by this concept: the window always lies after the anchor. Which event anchors the window is supplied as a parameter and is never part of this concept, and a scope qualifier used with this concept must not declare a conflicting direction.
service-occurrence Service occurrence A single billed occurrence (service line) of the service the rule references, so that the rule applies within each occurrence individually rather than within any calendar or case boundary. When the rule constrains an add-on service, the counted occurrence is the service line of the base service the add-on accompanies, never the add-on's own line.
billing-account Billing account The single billing account (claim document, for example a German Schein) containing the service, so that counting restarts with each account rather than at a calendar or case boundary. One treatment case may span several accounts, which is what distinguishes this window from the treatment case.
