KIDS multi-build name: BPS PSO IB BUNDLE 27.0 KIDS Host File name: BPS_1_39_PSO_IB.KID This patch contains the following functionality: --------------------------------------------------------- 1. The system is being updated to support ECL and field updates as published by the National Council for Prescription Drug Programs (NCPDP) through October 2024. (Jira ID EPHAR-3954) 2. The system is being updated to allow the OPECC supervisor to define reject codes that will automatically close the claim if the pharmacist ignores the reject. The ignore reject action will be updated to determine if the claim should be closed when the pharmacist ignores the reject. If the pharmacist uses the IGNORE action to ignore a reject on the Reject Notification Screen or Reject Information Screen, a series of checks will occur to determine if the claim should be closed. If the claim cannot be closed, it will be placed onto the ECME User Screen worklist.
