Comments

While a beneficiary can only be enrolled in one Part D plan during a given time period there may be more than one enrollment transaction with an audit sequence number of zero for that time period. This indicates that a valid transaction has been replaced with another valid transaction. For example, if a beneficiary was auto assigned to a plan but then picked a different plan.
