2000C Hierarchical Level

Use this segment to identify the hierarchical or entity level of information being conveyed. The HL structure allows for the efficient
nesting of related occurrences of information. The developers’ intent is to clearly identify the relationship of the patient to the subscriber
and the subscriber to the provider
