NTE segment
The NTE segment is defined here for inclusion in messages defined in other chapters. It is commonly used for sending notes and comments. The technical committees define the meaning of the NTE segments within the context of the messages in their chapters. For each NTE, the description in the message attribute table should include an indication of the segment associated with the NTE, for example "Notes and Comments for the PID".
The shape of one line
optional
NTE-3 and its value arrives as NTE-2, so the receiver stores Comment as Source of Comment.This page carries the NTE 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 NTE.
