              <td> dependent</td> 
              <td> **Description:** A role played by a person covered under a policy or program based
                 on an association with a subscriber, which is recognized by the policy holder.
                <br/>  
                <br/>  **Note:** The party playing the role of a dependent is not a claimant in the sense
                 conveyed by the RoleClassCoveredParty CLAIM (claimant). However, a dependent may
                 make a claim under a policy, e.g., a dependent under a health insurance policy
                 may become the claimant for coverage under that policy for wellness examines or
                 if injured and there is no liable third party. In the case of a dependent making
                 a claim, a role type code INSCLM (insured claimant) subtypes the class to indicate
                 that the dependent has filed a claim for services covered under the health insurance
                 policy.
                <br/>  
                <br/>  **Example:** The dependent has an association with the subscriber such as a financial
                 dependency or personal relationship such as that of a spouse, or a natural or adopted
                 child. The policy holder may be required by law to recognize certain associations
                 or may have discretion about the associations. For example, a policy holder may
                 dictate the criteria for the dependent status of adult children who are students,
                 such as requiring full time enrollment, or may recognize domestic partners as dependents.
                 Under certain circumstances, the dependent may be under the indirect authority
                 of a responsible party acting as a surrogate for the subscriber, for example, if
                 the subscriber is differently abled or deceased, a guardian ad Lidem or estate
                 executor may be appointed to assume the subscriberaTMs legal standing in the relationship
                 with the dependent.
