This field previously contained the Correction Flag Indictor which specified whether the
record was the first submission (0=original record) or whether it is a correction (1 =
correction) to an existing record. The CMS Medicaid Drug Rebate (MDR) system
makes the determination: if the record does not exist within the MDR system, it
processes as an original; if the record does exist within the MDR system, it processes as
a correction.
