Source of Payment codes are utilized by the Arkansas Department of Health hospital inpatient discharge data and emergency department data. Processing systems changed between 2014 and 2015, resulting in new values and consolidated definitions.
This table provides a crosswalk of the available values and associated definitions by year. For example, 2013-2014 14 data for Champus would contain the value C in the source of payment fields. 2015 and later data would use the value 3.
