Identifies the Date Field Used to Populate SRVC_END_DT

SAS Name
SRVC_END_DT_CD

The Service End Date (SRVC_END_DT) is a key partitioning field for the CCW data files. This derived variable indicates where on the claim the service end date was located. 

Comments

To be included in a RIF, each claim must have a SRVC_END_DT.  For RX claims, we use the prescription fill date (variable called RX_FILL_DT).
