In 399 there is "RESPONSIBLE INSTITUTION", as well as PRIMARY INSURANCE CARRIER, SECONDARY INSURANCE CARRIER, and TERTIARY INSURANCE CARRIER.
In the AR package the 430 file points to the AR DEBTOR file which has a variable pointer to multiple files for who is the responsible party.

It was a place that I frankly did not think would usually be populated, but might be used anyway because we were looking at what to do for an interface with LabCorp that any VistA user could pick up and install. I will go look at our notes if you are interested, but we had not made a decision on what to use. Let me see if I can find out what the VOE programmers did.

As I look through the PATIENT field, I see lots of fields that could possible be used for this. For example, .223 K-STREET ADDRESS, and .2125 K-ADDRESS SAME AS PATIENT'S? Is this issue addressed in VistA, and if so, which field should I use for this data?
