State Specific Notes

Vermont For 2006-2010 data, Vermont no longer supplied a state indicator of Emergency Department services. To prevent all Vermont AE records being placed in the SASD, during HCUP processing, all Vermont records with a revenue code of "45x" were assigned a STATE_ED value of 1. Starting in 2011, Vermont supplied a state indicator for Emergency Department services. We used the state indicator along with the revenue code of "45x" to assign a STATE_ED value of 1.
