      Add an order 0..1 positiveInt to be the relative order of the various coverages

      The Coverage.sequence is to hold a sequence number. This is typically used when coverage is extended in small increments such as 1-4 weeks as with social service plans.

      Primary, secondary refers to Coordination of Benefit order which is actually dependant on the specific billing circumstance.

      Existing Wording: Coverage.sequence = An optional counter for a particular instance of the identified coverage which increments upon each renewal.

      Comment:

      Can sequence be used to communicate primary coverage vs secondary coverage? The examples are named "General Person Primary Coverage Example" with sequence = 1 and "General Person Secondary Coverage Example", but the sequence definition doesn't sound like that was its intention. I would like a way to convey primary vs secondary coverage
