All three patches are to be installed as packman files. There is no bundle. The three patches incorporated code from the following concurrent development and, as such, the following patches MUST be installed prior to this project: 1.) IB*2.0*528 2.) IB*2.0*530 (and associated patches PRCA*4.5*303 - BUNDLED, IB*2.0*529 and PRCA*4.5*304 - STANDALONE) 3.) FB*3.5*154 (and associated patches FB*3.5*172 and DSIF*3.2*38) 4.) FB*3.5*166 The three patches for this project MUST be installed in this order: 1.) PRCA*4.5*310 2.) IB*2.0*554 3.) FB*3.5*163 Description ----------- The Chief Business Office (CBO) is requesting system enhancements to the Veterans Health Information Systems and Technology Architecture (VistA) Integrated Billing (IB), Accounts Receivable (AR), and Fee Basis (FB) software modules that would allow segregating all billing and Collection activities for Non-Department of Veterans Affairs (Non-VA) Care Third Party Insurance carriers' reimbursement. Current Medical Care Collections Fund (MCCF) Third Party billing and collections applications in the VistA information system do not segregate the Non-VA care claims from those claims for service rendered at Veterans Health Administration (VHA) healthcare facilities. This makes it difficult to determine whether all monies due VA for Non-VA care services are being billed and collected from Third Party insurance carriers, where applicable. The current process is a resource intensive, manual process with no assurance that all applicable Non-VA Care charges have been billed and collected. This patch is being released as a group consisting of PRCA*4.5*310, IB*2.0*554, and FB*3.5*163. All of these patches must be installed together. This project will improve and automate the transfer of data from VistA Fee Basis to Integrated Billing. It will record Non-VA revenue in a different fund to allow separate tracking of these revenues. The patch makes the following changes and enhancements: Enhancements to the Potential Cost Recovery Report removed Service Connected decision and added additional display fields. Added CHOICE program fields to the Fee Basis Contract File. Concurrent Development / Dependencies: -------------------------------------- Patch FB*3.5*163 is dependent upon enhancements in FB*3.5*154 (Separation of Duties). FB*3.5*154 is dependent upon DSIF*3.2*38 (Separation of Duties) and FB*3.5*172 (Security Keys for Separation of Duties). There was also concurrent code developed in the Potential Cost Recovery Report via patch FB*3.5*166. The code in FB*3.5*166's version of routine ^FBPCR3 was merged into FB*3.5*163 during pre-production IOC testing.
