11.2.5 RQC/RCI - request for patient clinical information (event I05)

This event is used to request clinical information for a specific patient. Generally, this transaction occurs between one provider and another (typically a laboratory or radiology, etc.). However, it may also be very useful for a payor-to-provider request for clinical observation information to be used in considering a request for treatment authorization.
