      ExplanationOfBenefit.item.bodySite has a cardinality of 0..1. This is problematic for the dental use case where a line item may include several teeth among other sites.

      Proposal: Change ExplanationOfBenefit.item.bodySite cardinality to 0..*

      If/when this is changed, there should also be a consideration to add some additional guidance regarding bodySite relationship(s) to subSite. These two elements are peers, so would a simple change of bodySite may lead to confusion with the relation to subSite. (does each subSite relate to all bodySite occurences?
