specification

The purpose of this inter-field edit is to verify that a date field and the corresponding date flag field are in agreement. A blank flag field indicates that the date was either filled in or intentionally not collected. Otherwise the date flag should include a 2-digit code indicating the reason the date field is blank.

This edit requires Date Initial RX SEER; that is, it must always be populated OR its corresponding flag must indicate the reason the field is blank.

1. If Date Initial RX SEER is populated, then Date Initial RX SEER Flag must be blank.

2. If Date Initial RX SEER is blank, then Date Initial RX SEER Flag must = 10 (unknown whether therapy was administered), 11 (therapy was not administered), or 12 (therapy administered but date is unknown).
