    Description

      PMIX Mappings for PDMP Response shows SSN as patient identifier in the mapping table but doesn't state Medicare Number with a table. However, *note below table states inclusion of Medicare Number for the Patient Identifier. Might be helpful if is was listed with SSN. Also *for response data element (symbol for multiple data elements) so Medicare Number should be represented.

      Existing Wording:

      Patient Identifier SSN* <nc:IdentificationID> Patient.identifier

      Proposed Wording:

      Patient Identifer | SSN* | <nc:IdentificationID> |
      Patient.identifer

      Patient Identifer | Medicare Number* | <nc: IdentificationID> | Patient.identifer
