Hi Bret, Yes. We have noticed similar issue at KUMC as well. Usually HIC numbers follow a specific syntax 9-digit SSN followed by an alpha suffix ("A" beneficiary (retired worker or disabled worker), "B" spouse (spouse is over 65), "C" children (child or grandchild of a retiree), "D" divorced spouse, widow, widower, "E" widowed mother). However, I found two HIC numbers for some patients and in most of the cases one of those HIC numbers did not follow the typical HIC number syntax. I brought this to GDIT's attention. They told me to retain both the numbers in the finder file. Let me know if you have any further questions regarding this.
Thanks Sravani From: Gpc-dev [mailto:gpc-dev-boun...@listserv.kumc.edu] On Behalf Of Gardner, Bret J Sent: Friday, January 27, 2017 2:43 PM To: gpc-dev@listserv.kumc.edu Subject: GROUSE HIC field length As I am reviewing the finder file, I note that HIC numbers at UNMC vary in length from 1-18 characters, with the average being 10. From GDIT's encryption instructions I read "HIC: 12 character alpha-numeric code identifying beneficiary". Per the shared finder file sql, this field is populated from the coverage_mem_list.mem_number field. Is this variation in field length typical at other sites? Will this cause any issues? Bret J.
