This data element's valid value code set is maintained by a Code Set Maintenance Organization (CSMO), the official licensing organization for specific valid value code sets. The CSMO is the system of record for those specific valid value code sets. While T-MSIS endeavors to be in-sync with CMSO's updates, minor delays may occur but that shouldn't block T-MSIS data submissions using the CSMO's latest version.
