Patient Missing Coverage Report [IBCN PT MISSING COVERAGE REPT] E. Insurance Company Missing Data Report [IBCN INS COMPANY MISSING DATA] 2. Updated the report 'Group Plans Missing Data Report' [IBCN GRP PLAN MISSING DATA] to correct the display to the screen, so that it contains all applicable data and is user friendly. 3. Updated the option 'Patient Insurance Info View/Edit' [IBCN PATIENT INSURANCE] to include a new action 'Request Elec Inquiry' that allows the user to jump to the option 'Request Electronic Insurance Inquiry' [IBCNE REQUEST INQUIRY]. 4. Modified the eIV Appointment extract functionality to further reduce the possibilities of duplicate buffer entries. 5. Modified the process that attempts to auto update the incoming eIV 271 X12 responses. Only those responses that meet one of the following criteria are potentially allowed to be auto updated. A. All responses associated with an eIV inquiry where the service type code is either "30", "MH", or "35", and the requested service date is "Today". B. All responses associated with an eIV inquiry triggered by the eIV Appointment Extract. C. All responses associated with an eIV inquiry triggered by the Eligibility Information Coverage Discovery (EICD) Extract (including ad hoc EICD requests). D.
