URL for this extension:
http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/contactpoint-area
Status: draft. Extension maintained by: Health Level Seven, Inc. - FHIR Core WG
The area/zone/city code that, in some areas, may be omitted when dialing locally within the zone. This extension is used when a system wishes to designate specific parts of a phone number (and potentially place constraints on which components must be present and how they're filled in).
Comment:
The ContactPoint.value element SHOULD still be populated even if the extension is present.
Context of Use: Use on Element ID ContactPoint
