The primary goal of this enhancement is the continued preparation of the IB software module for the implementation of further changes required by the Maintaining Internal Systems and Strengthening Integrated Outside Networks (MISSION) Act. The second goal of this enhancement is to increase timeliness and collections of billable Non-Veterans Affairs (VA) care services. Enhancements to existing VistA IB, AR, and Fee software applications would allow for increased efficiency in workflow processes leading to best practices that would ultimately be reflected in improved customer service to our Veteran population. In order to meet these goals, this patch: 1. Allows the IB CANCEL/EDIT/ADD CHARGES option to properly identify the retroactive award period when determining the Enrollment Priority Group when processing Urgent Care (UC) Copayment Charges 2. Changes the IBUC VISIT MAINT option Security Access Key from IB AUTHORIZE to IB EDIT to properly limit the access to the UC Visit Maintenance Utility. 3. Removes any Urgent Care visits with a REMOVED status from counting towards the total number of UC visits when displaying the total number of UC visits in the IB CANCEL/EDIT/ADD CHARGES Option 4. Prevents erroneous "Patient not found at site" error messages from displaying in the IBCU COPAY exceptions report. 5. Added a new Cancellation Reason, "PANDEMIC RESPONSE" to the IB CHARGE REMOVE REASON FILE (#350.3). 6. Allows the RELEASE CHARGES 'ON HOLD' report to update a UC Visit Charge that was ON HOLD with its Bill Number when releasing multiple charges that are ON HOLD for a single patient. 7. Allows the IB CANCEL/EDIT/ADD CHARGES Option to link Community Care (CC) Long Term Care (LTC) with a previously filed Patient Treatment File (PTF) so that the CC LTC copay may be charged to the patient correctly. 8. Modified the text displaying to the user when linking CC LTC Copays to a PTF. 9. Adds a warning message when a user attempts to access the AC (Add A Charge) Action in the IB CANCEL/EDIT/ADD CHARGES Option and the user does not have the IB EDIT Security Key assigned to them.
