311diagnosisICD;0MULTIPLE52.41311This multiple is used to store up to eight ICD-9 codes per prescription with the first always being the primary diagnosis code and subsequent ones being secondary diagnosis codes. Also stored in this multiple are all of the Service Connection (SC) and Environmental Indicators (EI) that directly relate to each ICD-9 code. These SC/EI's are passed from CPRS in this manner. This ICD-9/SC/EI relationship is necessary for 3rd Party Billing. Current Copay functionality deals only with SC<50% and only stores EI's when with this is true or not overridden in some way. The new SC/EI fields allow for Outpatient Pharmacy to know if a prescription is SC 0-100%, to know all EI's that apply, and to know how they relate to the ICD-9 code without affecting Copay functionality.
