I'm currently working in sandbox pulling coverage data and I'm having an issue with the data related to the class object. Within class we have a "Value" object of type Identifier. However, the sample data is only show value as a string. This is causing errors when deserializing. Example:

"class": [
{
"type": {
"coding": [
{
"code": "group",
"display": "Group",
"system": "http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/coverage-class"
}
]
},
"value": "Medicare"
}
]

As you can see "value" has a string assigned rather than the Identifier data type. Am I missing something?

The coverage sample from the HL7 spec shows the json as:

"class" : [{ "type" : { "coding" : [{ "system" : "http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/coverage-class", "code" : "group" }] }, "value" : { "value" : "CB135" }, "name" : "Corporate Baker's Inc. Local #35" }
