	  Each byte of this field represents a month of the Beneficiary Summary
	  reference year.  For example, the 1st byte represents Beneficiary 
	  Summary reference year month January, the 2nd byte represents 
	  Beneficiary Summary reference year month February, and so on until 
	  the 12th byte, which represents Beneficiary Summary reference year 
	  month December.  Each monthly indicator takes the value of one of the
	  code set listed in the Beneficiary Summary File data dictionary.

	  If the beneficiary did not have recorded Beneficiary 3rd Party Part B
	  coverage during a given month of the Beneficiary Summary reference 
	  year, then that month is coded ‘0.’  

	  In the processing and determination of the values in this field, only 
	  state buy-in for Medicare Part B is considered. 

	  The state buy-in information for Medicare Part A is not considered 
	  due to the assumed low number of beneficiaries that have state buy-in
	  for Medicare Part A.  It is assumed, therefore, that if a beneficiary
	  is documented as having state buy-in for Medicare Part B then the 
	  state is also buying in for that beneficiary’s Medicare Part A as 
	  well if the beneficiary does not have the necessary credits or work 
	  experience for free Medicare Part A (as the majority of the 
	  beneficiary population has free Medicare Part A).
