I have heard that Medicare only wants a "T" because they are the payer of last resort, but if Medicare is the only payer and therefore the payer of last resort, putting in a "T" gets me an error, for most software is looking for at least one other Payer with a "P".
Anyone else run into this?

So the sequence P S T T T would be the one to use instead of P S S S S or even P S S S T as you suggest.
