CER segment

The CER segment adds detailed information regarding the formal authorizations to provide a service (e.g. licenses, certificates) held by the health professional identified by the STF segment.

Count the pipes to find a field, and count the empty ones too: an empty field still holds its place. Leave out the separator before CER-3 and its value arrives as CER-2, so the receiver stores Version as Serial Number.

This page carries the CER field table as published and nothing beyond it. The field notes, vendor behaviour, FHIR mapping and parsing guidance that thePID page has are still to be written for CER.
