Steve C. MacDonald, of Trinity Information Services, asked "When
building an X12 variant using an Insurance subcommittee guide there are
usage codes of "R" and "S"...Has anyone seen this before and know what
they [stand] for?"
Dear Steve:
You're undoubtedly referring to the usage of segments, loops and
elements within a Health Care (HIPAA) implementation guide. The "R" and
"S" stand for "required" and "situational," respectively. The front
matter of the HIPAA guides explain the usage: Required means you must
use the segment, loop or element; and Situational means the usage
depends on....well, uh.... the situation.
