Comment (by xsong):

 No, if "NI" and "OT" are imputed automatically for all non-mapped
 encounters. But if that's the case, should we always have 100% mapping for
 primary payer (when NULL is assigned with an "NI" or "OT")?

 But I think it does make more sense to collect summaries just for
 meaningful payer info. I will update the summary codes by using `when
 PAYER_TYPE_PRIMARY in (NULL, 'OT','NI')` instead.
 Replying to [comment:21 dconnolly]:
 > Song, I see `when PAYER_TYPE_PRIMARY is not null`... that succeed for
 `NI` and `OT`. Is that on purpose? That is: do you want to count "no
 information" and "other" as successfully mapped payer types?
