Adverse Determination

Draft — pending verification

This reference entry has not yet been verified against its authoritative source (Original definitions; regulatory facts to be verified against CMS-0057-F (89 FR 8758) and X12/HL7 documentation). Do not rely on it for production configuration until this notice is removed.
