The Medicare Deductible was published as $1,068 and the correct amount is $1,100. VHA Directive 2009-072 was corrected and the new version was published on January 6, 2010 with the Medicare Deductible amount of $1,100. Note: Although the VHA Thresholds Directive currently in effect has been modified, the number associated with it remains the same as before: 2009-072. This patch is being released as an Emergency patch to update the IB ACTION CHARGE file (#350.2) with the correct Medicare Deductible amount. A post-init routine is included in this patch, which will automate the update of the file. The Medicare Deductible record with an Effective Date of January 1, 2010, which was added by patch IB*2.0*425, will be updated with the correct amount of $1,100. The Technical section below contains the list of fields that will be updated and their values. TECHNICAL: ========== File #350.2 -- IB ACTION CHARGE is updated with a corrected record.
