How would I need to define the <code code= ....> in Coded Results
section when a valid Loinc code has not been returned with the Lab
results.
With a Loinc it would look like this:
<code code="718-7" displayName="Hemoglobin"
codeSystem="2.16.840.1.113883.6.1" codeSystemName="LOINC"/>
How would the code be processed when only a lab code and test
description are available?
Ex: lab code '123', test desciption 'Hemoglobin'
Is there any documentation on what to do in this case?

You would want to use <translation> to indicate a code from an
alternate coding system. However, I'm not 100% sure what the correct
<code> attributes would be. <code nullFlavor="UNK"> doesn't seem quite
right.
