Description:	The current Special Needs Y/N flag would no longer be enough information in the TX SET guides. If the Special Needs Y/N indicator is retained by TX SET, we would also need qualifiers added when the Special Needs Indicator = Y (Yes) in the applicable TX SET transaction. If Y (Yes) then we will need to show a unique indicator for each of the viable designations as they are approved in the final rulemaking. Also, we will need a segment or data element that if there is a Y-Yes for Special Needs Indicator, to include the alternate or back-up contact for emergencies and problems with the customer’s account where Critical Care status is indicated.
Reason:	Determine the best approach for implementing the new Critical Care designations through all affected TX SET transactions so the market can automate and report, if needed, these designations and apply the appropriate business criteria to those designations. Determine the best way to communication these changes into the TX SET Guides to reduce or eliminate manual workarounds.
