Standard codes to identify email types (work, personal, etc.)

Question

I work for a health technology company and we use the HL7 and snomed standard codes to identify phone numbers, home addresses, races, ethnicities, etc. I have been looking to no avail for HL7 or snomed standardized codes to define user email types. Is there another standard with codes that identifies types of email?

Answer 1

In PID/13 and PID/14 you can set the second component (Telecommunication Use Code ) to NET meaning Network (email) Address and then add the home eMail adress in PID/13/4 respective business adress in PID/14/4

Answer 2

In the end we used the above Hl7v2 Conmunication standards to generate our own codes. Bellow are the tables we referenced.
