Thanks very much for all of the help you gave.
Here's how I solved it.
--------------------------------------------------------
A patient is anyone who receives medical treatment from your enterprise.
A member is someone who is part of a managed care plan.
A health-care-plan member would have a member profile and not a patient
profile if the member's dependents are patients of your enterprise but
the member isn't a patient.
A patient without a health-care plan would have a patient profile and
not a member profile.
It's likely that most of your patients are eligible for membership in
some group care plan.
