🛠 Geocoding with NBS

Are any states currently using Geocoding to assign ELR/eCR Jurisdiction in NBS? Montana currently uses the non-customized classification system which hits off of patient zip code to determine jurisdiction. However, this presents problems because our tribal boundaries are poorly represented by zip codes. 

This causes issues with ELRs going into Security Assignment and not getting hit by our WDS algorithms. We have a Montana specific geocoding dataset, and are in the early stages of trying to hit off of that information rather than zip codes. Has anyone had success with this? Or looked at something similar and have advice they can share?

Thanks,
Danny Power - Montana
