Description

The SPONSOR file contains a list of people who are the sponsors for patients who have Tricare insurance coverage. These people, who are typically active duty personnel or military retirees, are stored as either patients (in file #2) or non-patients in the SPONSOR PERSON (#355.82) file. A variable pointer is used to point to the person in either of those two files. This file is used as a list of sponsors who may be the sponsor of more than one patient. The SPONSOR RELATIONSHIP (#355.81) file relates a sponsor to a specific patient.

The sponsor name,` `date of birth, and social security number should be retrieved from the PATIENT (#2) file.
