This file holds a list of valid statuses that can be assigned to each Rx that represents the authorization for the Rx. This is independent of the eligibility code assigned to the patient by MAS. This file also holds the parameters that determine if an Rx for a certain status can be refilled, etc. Data is sent for this file, but can be altered by the center, with care. APPLICATION GROUP(S): PS
HELP-PROMPT: Answer 'YES' if this Patient Status is exempt from any prescription copayment regardless of other factors. Answer 'NO' otherwise.
DESCRIPTION:
This field is meant to allow the site to screen RX copayments by RX Patient Status, (e.g., Inpatient). If this field is answered 'YES', any RX with this Status will not be charged a copayment.
