ANON Anonymous identifierAn identifier for a living subject whose real identity is protected or suppressedJustification: For public health reporting purposes, anonymous identifiers are occasionally used for protecting patient identity in reporting certain results.

Anonymous identifiers can be used in PID 3 by replacing the medical record number or other non-anonymous identifier. The assigning authority for an anonymous identifier would be the state/local health department.An identifier for a living subject whose real identity is protected or suppressed Justification: For public health reporting purposes, anonymous identifiers are occasionally used for protecting patient identity in reporting certain results.
