=== Special Cases ===
Consider special cases from [[Postal code collection]] for now, I will move those over here when we set the old field to legacy. Please comment here though if the instructions for old field would not work in new setup.
==== Homeless with proxy address ====
If you have a homeless person admitted who lists their address as Siloam Mission or the Salvation Army/Booth's Place, use their postal code as provided.
 
Code "couch surfers" as "N/A".
 
==== Institutionalized patients ====
For institutionalized patients (e.g. prison inmates, care homes), use the institution's postal code.
 
==== Out-of-Country patients ====
Our cross checks would flag the format of out-of-country postal codes, so enter "N/A" for these.
