You can enter a patient’s year of birth in a 2-digit or 4-digit format. However, the
system stores, prints, and transmits the birth year in a 4-digit format.
If you enter the birth year in a 2-digit format (xx), the system assumes the birth
year to be 19xx.
In the year 2000 and beyond, you must enter birth years in the 4-digit format to
ensure an accurate birthdate and patient age. The system verifies that the 4-digit
year entered is the current or a prior year. The valid range for years entered as 4
digits is 1880 to 2050.
