	CCW FIELD SOURCE AND DERIVATION:
	  Denominator Field #24 (Beneficiary Validated Day of Death Indicator)
	  RIC-C; Field Name: BENE_PTA_ENTLMT_STUS_CD

	  The Medicare Part A Entitlement Termination Reason Code value for 
	  this field is determined either by the most recent Medicare Part A 
	  history (prior to the end of the reference year or date of death if 
	  the beneficiary died during the reference year) found for the 
	  beneficiary on the UEDB, or it is derived from Beneficiary Validated 
	  Day of Death Indicator.  The following ordered rules determine the 
	  value for this field:

	  (1) The default value for this field is ‘0.’  If this field is not 
	      modified by any of the following rules, then the value of this 
	      field will remain ‘0’,
	  (2) If Beneficiary Validated Day of Death Indicator is set to ‘V’ 
	      (beneficiary has a validated day of death), then this field is 
	      set to ‘1’,
	  (3) If Beneficiary Validated Day of Death Indicator has no value 
	      (i.e., the field is blank, because the beneficiary does not 
	      have a validated day of death), then the following rules are 
	      applied to this field: 
 	      (a) If there is no recorded history of Medicare Part A found for 
		  the beneficiary on the UEDB, this field keeps the value ‘0’ 
	  	  assigned in step (1), 
 	      (b) If recorded Medicare Part A history for the beneficiary is 
		  found on the UEDB, then the following rules are applied to 
		  this field:
		  (i) If the Medicare Part A entitlement status in the most 
		      recent Medicare Part A  history (prior to the end of the 
		      reference year or date of death if the beneficiary died 
		      during the reference year) is ‘T’ (Terminated for Non-
		      Payment of Premiums), then this field is set  to ‘2’,
		 (ii) If the Medicare Part A entitlement status in the most 
		      recent Medicare Part A history (prior to the end of the 
		      reference year or date of death if the beneficiary died 
		      during the reference year) is ‘W’ (Voluntary Withdrawal 
		      from Premium Coverage), then this field  is set to ‘3’,
		(iii) If the Medicare Part A entitlement status in the most 
		      recent Medicare Part A  history (prior to the end of the 
		      reference year or date of death if the beneficiary died 
		      during the reference year) is ‘C’ (No Longer Entitled 
		      Due to Disability Cessation), ‘F’ (Terminated  Due to 
		      Invalid Enrollment or Enrollment Voided), ‘S’ (Terminated, 
		      No Longer  Entitled Under ESRD Provision), or ‘X’ (Free 
		      Part A Terminated or Refused  Hospital Insurance), then 
		      this field is set to ‘9.’
