Throughout the Charge/Payment (CP) section, entry of all dollar amounts will include only
whole dollars. Entry of cents will be disallowed.
Some items (CP220) in this section allow the addition of a source of payment for the RU.
When the interviewer presses CTRL-A, CAPI displays a pop-up with a selectable pick list
of some common sources as follows:
What is the source of payment for you?
Government Sources
- 'Medicare'
- 'Medicaid{/STATE NAME FOR MEDICAID}'
- 'SCHIP/{STATE NAME FOR CHIP}'
-'VA (VETERANS AFFAIRS)/CHAMPVA'
- 'Tricare'
- 'Military Facility'
- 'Indian Health Service'
- 'Worker's Compensation'
Private Sources
- 'AARP'
- 'Aetna'
- 'Blue Cross/Blue Shield'
- 'Cigna'
- 'Delta Dental'
- 'Kaiser/Kaiser Permanente'
- 'United Healthcare'
- Other Source not listed
- When 'Other Source not listed' is selected, CAPI should display a text box for entry
Display '/STATE NAME FOR MEDICAID' (substituting the real state name for program)
if the state in which interview being conducted does not use the name 'Medicaid'.
Otherwise, use a null display. For the specific name to use by state, see the plan fill file.
Display 'STATE NAME FOR CHIP' under all conditions (substituting the real state name
for program). For the specific name to use by state, see the plan fill file.

The pick list expedites the entry of one of these common sources. Once the interviewer
selects from the pick list (or types an entry) and returns to the main screen, the added source
of payment appears in the roster as selected. If a source already listed in the roster is added
at the pick list pop-up for a second time, CAPI should display the following error message:
"SOURCE ALREADY ADDED. VERIFY. IF SAME SOURCE, CANCEL POP-UP
AND SELECT SOURCE AT MAIN QUESTION."
If event type is HH
and
HH provider associated with the event being asked about is coded 'AGENCY' (EV60 =
