This field comes from the Claim HRR Participant Indicator code (CLM-HRR-PRTCPNT-IND-CD) that is present on the first claim record included in the stay. If there is no Claim HRR Participant Indicator code on the first claim, then the first found code on any of the other claims that make up the stay is used.
