Definition	A flag indicating the eligibility record is the primary eligibility in cases where there are multiple eligibility records submitted with overlapping or concurrent eligibility determinant effective and end dates. It is expected that an enrollee's eligibility group assignment (ELG087 - ELIGIBILITY-GROUP) will change over time as his/her situation changes. Whenever the eligibility group assignment changes (i.e., ELG087 has a different value), a separate ELIGIBILITY-DETERMINANTS record segment must be created. In such situations, there would be multiple ELIGIBILITY-DETERMINANTS record segments, each covering a different effective time span. In such situations, the value in ELG087 would be the primary eligibility group for the effective date span of its respective ELIGIBILITY-DETERMINANTS record segment, and the PRIMARY-ELIGIBILITY-GROUP-IND data element on each of these segments would be set to '1' (YES). Should a situation arise where a Medicaid/CHIP enrollee has been assigned both a primary and one or more secondary eligibility groups, there would be two or more ELIGIBILITY-DETERMINANTS record segments with overlapping effective time spans - one segment containing the primary eligibility group and the other(s) for the secondary eligibility group(s). To differentiate the primary eligibility group from the secondary group(s), only one segment should be assigned as the primary group using PRIMARY-ELIGIBILITY-GROUP-IND = 1; the others should be assigned PRIMARY-ELIGIBILITY-GROUP-IND = 0.
