The Technical Steward for the LDP segment is Patient Administration.

The LDP segment identifies how a patient location room is being used by a certain department. Multiple departments can use the same patient location, so there can be multiple LDP segments following an LOC segment. There must be at least one LDP segment for each LOC segment. This is not intended to include any current occupant information.

Definition: This field contains the institution's identification code for the location. The identifying key value. This field has the same components as the patient location fields in the PV1 segment (except that bed status is not included here). At least the first component of this field is required. The contents of this field must exactly match the content of its preceding MFE (MFE-4 - Primary Key Value - MFE) and its preceding LOC (LOC-1 - Primary Key Value - LOC).

(Definition from LDP.2 in Ch. 8)

Definition: This field contains the institution's department to which this location belongs, or its cost center. Refer to User-defined Table 0264 - Location Department in Chapter 2C, Code Tables, for suggested values.

(Definition from LCC.2 in Ch. 8)

Definition: This field contains the institution's department to which this location belongs, or its cost center. It may match the value in its preceding LDP (LDP-2 - Location Department or LDP-12 - Location Cost Center. Refer to User-defined Table 0264 - Location Department in Chapter 2C, Code Tables, for suggested values.

Definition: This field contains the hospital or ancillary service with which this location is associated. Depends on institution use. Repeats for rooms that can be used, for example, by different services on different days. These values should match the values used for PV1-10 - Hospital Service, which is site defined. Refer to User-defined Table 0069 - Hospital Service in Chapter 2C, Code Tables, for suggested values.

Definition: This field contains the specialty type (if any) of the department or clinic. This may also be considered a bed type. Specialty type is a physical accommodation type, whereas 'accommodation type' (LCC-3 - Accommodation Type) is a financial accommodation type. Refer to User-defined Table 0265 – Specialty Type in Chapter 2C, Code Tables, for suggested values. See also LCH-4 - Location Characteristic ID and LHC-5 - Location Characteristic Value.

(Definition from LDP.5 in Ch. 8)

Definition: This field contains the patient types that are allowed to be assigned to this bed. For example, Inpatient, Outpatient, Series, Clinic, ER, Ambulatory, Observation, etc. These values should be the same set of values as those used for PV1-2 - Patient Class. Refer to User-defined Table 0004 – Patient Class in Chapter 2C, Code Tables, for suggested values.

(Definition from PRC.4 in Ch. 8)

Definition: This field contains the patient types for which this charge description is valid. For example, Inpatient, Outpatient, Series, Clinic, ER, Ambulatory, Observation, etc. These values should be the same set of values as those used for PV1-3 - Patient Class, which is site defined. Use only when the price is not valid for all patient types, that is, a null value indicates that this pricing is valid for all patient classes. Refer to User-defined Table 0004 - Patient Class in Chapter 2C, Code Tables, for suggested values.

When two PRC segments are sent the same key values but with different valid patient classes, the second is sent in addition to the first, not to replace the first. The effective unique identifier is the charge code (PRC-1 - PRC Primary Key) plus the facility ID (PRC-2 - Facility ID) plus the department (PRC-3 - Department) plus the patient class (PRC-4 - Valid Patient Classes). Multiple patient classes can be sent in the same segment to indicate that those patient classes use the same pricing.
