RF1 segment

This segment represents information that may be useful when sending referrals from the referring provider to the referred-to provider.

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 RF1-2 and its value arrives as RF1-1, so the receiver stores Referral Priority as Referral Status.

This page carries the RF1 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 RF1.
