Not Supplied | This field is inconsistently populated. Although payers were asked to split an individual practitioner's name into its various components, many payers were not able to do so. In those instances the payer name is entirely within the provider last name field (PRVLNAME - DCSP008). This is a practitioner identifiable field. |
