There should be a built-in optional element to allow patients to bypass a required question if it's not appliable to them.

For example, if we have a short text element asking for "Subscriber ID" and the patient is Self Pay. If we make it required, they can't submit the form. But if we don't make it required, other patients can/will just leave it blank. We're having to type out instructions for half the questions, which just makes the form longer and more annoying for the patient to complete.
