Part B drug request
A request involving a Part B drug, flagged Y/N; these have shorter deadlines and require times even when standard.
Tables 1, 2 and 4 include a 'Part B Drug Request?' field (Y or N). Part B drug requests have their own timeframes, such as 72 hours for a standard OD and 24 hours for an expedited OD. In Table 1, time fields are required for standard Part B drug requests as well as all expedited requests.
