   1. 0100 · HL · Hierarchical Level · Max 1 · Mandatory

      To identify dependencies among and the content of hierarchically related groups of data segments

      Valid codes for HL03 to define levels for this transaction set are given below: AA - Insurer 19 - Provider of Service 34 - Location Record 35 - Company/Corporation 36 - Operating Unit 64 - Employee 65 - Insurance Policy 66 - Vehicle SD - Support Document
      At least one occurrence each of the insurer level, company/corporation level, and insurance policy level is required. The insurer level and the company/corporation level will always be the first two hierarchical levels and must be in that (hierarchical) order. If the premium audit is documented by location, the insurance policy level will immediately follow the location record level. If the premium audit is documented by policy, the insurance policy level will immediately follow the company/corporation level or the operating unit level, whichever is the lower level to which the hierarchy extends.
      The operating unit level is optional and if used, must immediately follow the company/corporation level.
      The location record level is optional. If the premium audit is documented by location and the operating unit level is NOT used, the location record level will immediately follow the company/corporation level. If the operating unit level is used, the location record level will immediately follow that level. If the premium audit is documented by policy, the location record level will immediately follow the insurance policy level.
      The provider of service level, employee level, and vehicle level are all optional and are hierarchically equal. If the premium audit is documented by location, any of these levels (if used) would be a child of the insurance policy level and would immediately follow (in any order) the insurance policy level. If the premium audit is documented by policy any of these levels (if used) would be a child of and would immediately follow either the insurance policy level or the location record level, whichever is the lower level to which the hierarchy extends.
      The support document level is optional and when used, will always immediately follow the provider of service level.
