Plan Type (D-SNP / C-SNP / I-SNP)
The type of Special Needs Plan the enrollee is in; the only valid values are D-SNP, C-SNP and I-SNP.
Plan Type (Column ID F in all three SNPCC layouts) records the type of SNP and must be D-SNP, C-SNP or I-SNP, in a 5-character field. Samples of 30 enrollees are spread across plan types, with at least 5 enrollees per plan type where available. The protocol does not spell out what the three abbreviations stand for.
