Special Notes:

  (1) The privacy laws of HIPAA have been interpreted to prohibit publishing 
  enrollment data with values of 10 or less. Consequently, some enrollment data
  in this file have been set to blank because the enrollment was 10 or less. 

  (2) Pilot contracts are excluded from this file. The aggregate enrollment for these contracts
  is available in the Monthly Contract and Enrollment Summary Report.
