Flex Code Set
A flex code set is a group of flex code definitions. Use it to add a field to a table that can have a value that can belong to one of multiple flex code definitions.

It is possible for a dynamic field to refer to a flex code set, rather than a flex code definition. If this is the case, then any flex code from any of the definitions under that set is an allowed value for that dynamic field.
Procedure and diagnosis codes are always defined by a flex code set, because the common case is that multiple standards for those codes exist (ICD-9, ICD-10, CPT).
