Summary of answer

VERSION	ETL Convention
CURRENT	Map the Plan directly to a standard CONCEPT_ID. If one does not exists please contact the vocabulary team. There is no global controlled vocabulary available for this information. The point is to stratify on this information and identify if Persons have the same health benefit Plan though the name of the Plan is not necessary. Accepted Concepts.
SUGGESTED	Map the Plan directly to a standard CONCEPT_ID. If one does not exist visit the Custom Concepts page for more information. There is no global controlled vocabulary available for this information. The point is to stratify on this information and identify if Persons have the same health benefit Plan though the name of the Plan is not necessary. Accepted Concepts.

@clairblacketer #672 #671 #666 are all related to a minor improvement in the CDM Documentation but I kept them separate based on our current workflow. I wonder if a blanket page/reference/link out to the vocabulary team for "what to do when the standard concept field is not from a controlled vocabulary but the vocabulary does not have a match for your data" would be helpful.

Based on the conversation in our check in today, I updated the issues to reference the Custom Concepts page in the CDM documentation.

Thanks @burrowse . What is weird is that we say there is no "globally controlled" vocabulary but I am not really sure what that means since there is a vocab with the vocabulary_id = 'Plan'. I may alter the wording a bit to say something like: We have a vocabulary called "Plan" but it is not exhaustive. If you need a new concept, consider creating either a custom concept or suggesting new concepts to the vocabulary team
