| DESCRIPTION |
This field returns the Long ID field of the patient from the Patient
Eligibilities multiple (as found in the .03 field of the .0361 multiple
of the PATIENT file). For most eligibilities, this will be the patient's
social security number formatted with dashes. However, for patients
seen under joint sharing agreements or seen at DoD facilities, this field
may differ. This field is returned in HL7 CK (M11 check digit) format.
It may exceed the 16 character maximum length specified in the HL7
definition.
