This case-sensitive code system http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/contractsignertypecodes defines the following codes:

Code	Display	Definition
AMENDER	Amender	A person who has corrected, edited, or amended pre-existing information.
AUTHN	Authenticator	A person in the role of verifier who attests to the accuracy of an act, but who does not have privileges to legally authenticate information content. An example would be a resident physician who sees a patient and dictates a note, then later signs it. The resident's signature constitutes an authentication.
AUT	Author	An entity that authored specific content. There can be multiple authors of content, which may take such forms as a contract, a healthcare record entry or document, a policy, or a consent directive.
AFFL	Affiliate	An entity that has a business or professional relationship with another entity in accordance with an agreement.
AGNT	Agent	An entity that acts or is authorized to act on behalf of another entity in accordance with an agreement.
ASSIGNED	Assigned Entity	An agent role in which the agent is an Entity acting in the employ of an organization. The focus is on functional role on behalf of the organization, unlike the Employee role where the focus is on the 'Human Resources' relationship between the employee and the organization.
CIT	Citizen	The member of a jurisdiction afforded certain rights and encumbered with certain obligation in accordance with jurisdictional policy.
CLAIMANT	Claimant	A party that makes a claim for coverage under a policy.
COAUTH	Co-Author	The entity that co-authored content. There can be multiple co-authors of content, which may take such forms as a contract, a healthcare record entry or document, a policy, or a consent directive.
CONSENTER	Consenter	A patient or patient representative who is the grantee in a healthcare related agreement such as a consent for healthcare services, advanced directive, or a privacy consent directive in accordance with jurisdictional, organizational, or patient policy.
CONSWIT	Consent Witness	A person who has witnessed and attests to observing a patient being counseled about a healthcare related agreement such as a consent for healthcare services, advanced directive, or a privacy consent directive.
CONT	Contact	A person or an organization that provides or receives information regarding another entity. Examples; patient NOK and emergency contacts; guarantor contact; employer contact.
COPART	Co-Participant	A person who participates in the generation of and attest to veracity of content but is not an author or co-author.

COVPTY	Covered Party	An entity, which is the insured, that receives benefits such as healthcare services, reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses, or compensation for losses through coverage under the terms of an insurance policy. The underwriter of that policy is the scoping entity. The covered party receives coverage because of some contractual or other relationship with the holder of that policy. Note that a particular policy may cover several individuals one of whom may be, but need not be, the policy holder. Thus the notion of covered party is a role that is distinct from that of the policy holder.

The policy holder may be required by law to recognize certain associations or may have discretion about the associations. For example, a policy holder may dictate the criteria for the dependent status of adult children who are students, such as requiring full time enrollment, or may recognize domestic partners as dependents. Under certain circumstances, the dependent may be under the indirect authority of a responsible party acting as a surrogate for the subscriber, for example, if the subscriber is differently-abled or deceased, a guardian ad lidem or estate executor may be appointed to assume the subscriber's legal standing in the relationship with the dependent.
DPOWATT	Durable Power of Attorney	A person who has been granted the authority to represent or act on another's behalf generally in a manner which is a legally binding upon the person giving such authority as if he or she personally were to do the acts.
