The goal of this enhancement is to increase timeliness and collections of billable Non-Veterans Affairs (VA) care services. Enhancements to the existing VistA IB and AR 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. Updates the Interest and Admin Rate tables to prevent interest and administrative charges from being applied to bills. 2. Reverses all interest and administrative charges applied to medical bills during the pandemic period, currently defined as March 28, 2020 through September 30, 2021 3. For every transaction that files a reversal, the brief comment "PANDEMIC REVERSAL" will be entered with the Transaction.
