Code identifying how a specific segment's statement of a rate restriction is evaluated and its relationship to rate restrictions stated within other segments of the same segment definition


M        If one or more segments of a given segment definition contain this element 
         indicating a '-' value, rate application is denied upon satisfaction of any one 
         of these segments, so indicated; In the event that rate restrictions on two 
         segments of similar definition are satisfied, one segment containing this 
         element indicating a '+' value and the other segment indicating a '-', rate 
         application is denied. In other words, a minus takes precedence over a plus.
P        If one or more segments of a given segment definition contain this element 
         indicating a '+' value, rate application requires satisfaction of the 
         restriction stated on at least one of those segments, so indicated; In the 
         event that rate restrictions on two segments of similar definition are 
         satisfied, one segment containing this element indicating a '+' value and the 
         other segment indicating a '-', rate application is denied. In other words, a 
         minus takes precedence over a plus.
