In my situation, since there are so many systems that need that information in different fields and formats, I wrote a few plug-n-play TCL scripts to handle the common ones. So I just plug in what I need for each receiving system unless one comes along that needs it a little differently. Then I either update the script or create a new one as needed.
There’s a broader reason for doing it this way here … but I typically do not use an xlate for this.
Hi Ryan,
Thanks – your reply was very helpful. When the information appears in OBR.21, what is the data type for that field and did you explicitly define the subfields?
I’m going to check on the NTE option as well.
Thanks, Rick
