This is a CCW-derived field that indicates whether the prescription was subject to prior authorization, according to the benefit structure and formulary for the beneficiary’s plan.    

Starting in 2010, this variable included in the Formulary file (rather than the PDE file).

This is a CCW-derived field that indicates whether the prescription was subject to prior authorization, according to the benefit structure and formulary for the beneficiary’s plan.

This field identifies the indicator assigned by CMS for each prior authorization program to define the applicable line of business i.e., Part A, Part B, DME, Home Health and Hospice.

A procedure code (ICD9/ICD10, CPT, HCPCS or other) used by the state to identify the procedures performed during the hospital stay.

The principal procedure is recorded in PRCDR_CD_1. The corresponding date is PRCDR_CD_DT_1, and PRCDR_CD_SYS_1 is the coding system/nomenclature used to identify the procedure. The principal procedure is performed for definitive treatment rather than for diagnostic or exploratory purposes. It is closely related to either the principal diagnosis or to complications that arise during other treatments.

This variable identifies the coding system used for the procedures 1-6 (PRCDR_CD_1-6 fields).
