$TXT Created by OSTOVARI,Parviz at MNTVUU.FO-ALBANY.MED.VA.GOV (KIDS) on Tuesday, 05/15/12 at 16:19 ============================================================================= Run Date: MAR 27, 2013 Designation: IB*2*457 Package : IB - INTEGRATED BILLING Priority: Mandatory Version : 2 SEQ #450 Status: Released Compliance Date: APR 17, 2013 ============================================================================= Associated patches: (v)IB*2*312 <<= must be installed BEFORE `IB*2*457' Subject: Electronic Insurance Identification Category: - Routine - Enhancement (Mandatory) - Input Template - Data Dictionary - Other Description: ============ The purpose of this patch is to automate the Extract file transfer created by the HMS data extractor at the VAMCs, sending the data to the HMS Inc. server via the AITC DMI Queue. The data sent will be used to identify patients' current, active insurance. There is one extract file for each of four different insurance services. Each VAMC may contract individually with HMS Inc. to receive up to four different insurance services: HMS_NOINSUR - pulls patient information when there is no insurance on file HMS_ENHNOIN - pulls patient information when the records reflect Medicare but no other commercial insurance. HMS_NORXINS - pulls patient information when there is no "Prescription Only" insurance on file. HMS_NONVERINS - pulls patient information for re-verification purposes. A site may only run the extracts identified in the current contract and must disable any extract in the event it is not included in a subsequent contract renewal. The CPAC IV Manager is the COTR for each contract and is expected to communicate any changes in contract status to the IRM's. HMS Inc., after processing the extract files, sends the result file back through AITC DMI to the VAMC site so it can be uploaded to the Insurance Buffer file by the HMS Data Extractor. eII software alleviates the administrative burden to the IRM and HMS staff that manually transfer and collect data files from SharePoint, providing a more efficient and secure insurance identification process. HMS/VEHM software must already be installed at the site for the extract process to work. Pre-installation instructions will describe how to check if the HMS software is on the system. The Electronic Insurance Identification (eII) software automates the existing manual eII process: 1. The HMS extracts from VistA will be routed automatically to a central server at AITC as MailMan messages, with no manual intervention from IRM or HMS. Each file is sent as one or more MailMan messages. 2. AITC will route the HMS results to the VAMC that initiated the extract, as MailMan messages. 3. Extract the returning HMS results data from the MailMan messages, and place the file in the designated VMS directory. 4. Send the IRM a notification when the results are in the directory. The IRM is able to upload the results to the VistA insurance buffer file. 5. HMS data is converted into an XML file format. HMS data has two additional fields: Patient Relationship to Insured ID and Patient ID. These fields are included in the XML file. 6. The existing HMS extract file will continue to be produced as scheduled. 7. Automated notification messages will be sent to the IBCNF EII IRM mail Group at the VAMC site if an HMS extract file is not generated by the HMS data extractor software at the site when expected, as defined in the IB SITE PARAMETERS file. 8. Automated acknowledgement messages are sent from AITC to the VAMCs, acknowledging that the extract file message(s) are received by AITC. If the confirmation message(s) are not received within the expected time (usually 24 hours) as defined in the IB configuration parameter, the IBCNF EII IRM mail group is notified. For each message that no confirmation message is received, a new extract message will be send to AITC. 9. The eII Edit Configuration [IBCNF EDIT CONFIGURATION] option is used to enable/disable file transfer and/or set other parameters for eII software.

The preferred method is to FTP the files from ftp://download.vista.med.va.gov/. This transmits the files from the first available FTP server. Sites may also select to retrieve software directly from a specific server as follows: Albany ftp.fo-albany.med.va.gov Hines ftp.fo-hines.med.va.gov Salt Lake City ftp.fo-slc.med.va.gov Documentation can also be found on the VA Software Documentation Library at: http://www4.va.gov/vdl/ Title File Name FTP Mode ----------------------------------------------------------------------- eII User Manual IB_2_P457_UM.PDF (binary) Release Notes IB_2_P457_RN.PDF (binary) Technical Manual (IB*2*457) IB_2_P457_TM.PDF (binary) Patch Installation: Pre/Post Installation Overview ------------------------------ Before installing this software: 1. Be sure IB*2.0*312 patch is installed at your VAMC. 2. Check if the HMS Data Extractor Software is installed at your VAMC by doing a FileMan Inquire into the INSTALL file. If your site has HMS software, there will be an entry for VEHM. 3. Be sure the IB MT NIGHT COMP option is already scheduled to run at your site. Identify the mail group coordinator (most likely the person who is installing the patch) to be assigned to IBN, IBK,IBX, IBH, IBCNF EII IRM and IBCNF EII XML READY mail groups when installing the patch. As part of post-routine's patch installation, the following configuration will be set up. Verify that the fields denoted by "*" match the HMS Data Extractor parameters (if your site is running the HMS Data Extractor software). Extract/Result File names contain station ID () of the VAMC site where the eII software is installed. *HMS DIRECTORY: USER$:[HMS] *EII ACTIVE: NO *RESULT FILE NAME:VA.TXT *DAY OF MONTH RESULT FILE DUE: 31 *DAYS BEFORE LATE MESSAGE SENT: 2 MAX EXT FILE QUE CONFIRM TIME: 24 MAX NUM OF RECORDS PER MESSAGE: 100 EXTRACT FILE TYPE: NOINSUR *EXTRACT FILE ACTIVE: YES *FILE NAME: VEHMN.TXT AITC DMI QUEUE EMAIL ADDRESS: XXX@Q-IBN.VA.GOV *DAY OF MONTH EXTRACT FILE DUE:1 *DAYS BEFORE LATE MESSAGE SENT: 2 EXTRACT FILE TYPE: ENHNOIN *EXTRACT FILE ACTIVE: YES *FILE NAME:VEHMH.TXT AITC DMI QUEUE EMAIL ADDRESS: XXX@Q-IBH.VA.GOV *DAY OF MONTH EXTRACT FILE DUE:1 *DAYS BEFORE LATE MESSAGE SENT: 2 EXTRACT FILE TYPE: NORXINS *EXTRACT FILE ACTIVE: YES *FILE NAME: VEHMX.TXT AITC DMI QUEUE EMAIL ADDRESS: XXX@Q-IBX.VA.GOV *DAY OF MONTH EXTRACT FILE DUE:1 *DAYS BEFORE LATE MESSAGE SENT: 2 EXTRACT FILE TYPE: NONVERINS *EXTRACT FILE ACTIVE: YES *FILE NAME: VEHMK.TXT AITC DMI QUEUE EMAIL ADDRESS: XXX@Q-IBK.VA.GOV *DAY OF MONTH EXTRACT FILE DUE:0 *DAYS BEFORE LATE MESSAGE SENT: 2 Based on the HMS Data Extractor parameters, the above parameters need to be modified. Note: For each of the extracts running at the site it is recommended that you set the expected day to 22 (twenty-two) and the days before late message is sent to 0 (zero); the exception to this is the NONVERINS extract, which is run as needed. In addition verify that the FOC-AUSTIN.VA.GOV domain is defined in DOMAIN file. The patch installation will then create the following entries in the DOMAIN file: NAME: Q-IBH.VA.GOV FLAGS: S RELAY DOMAIN: FOC-AUSTIN.VA.GOV DISABLE TURN COMMAND: YES NAME: Q-IBK.VA.GOV FLAGS: S RELAY DOMAIN: FOC-AUSTIN.VA.GOV DISABLE TURN COMMAND: YES NAME: Q-IBN.VA.GOV FLAGS: S RELAY DOMAIN: FOC-AUSTIN.VA.GOV DISABLE TURN COMMAND: YES NAME: Q-IBX.VA.GOV FLAGS: S RELAY DOMAIN: FOC-AUSTIN.VA.GOV DISABLE TURN COMMAND: YES After the eII software is installed and activated, the communication between the AITC DMI Queue and your VAMC should already be established and AITC should be able to transfer Extract and Result files between VAMC and HMS Inc. server too. Installation Instructions ------------------------- This patch may be installed with users on the system. But, be sure the IB MT NIGHT COMP is not running at the time of software install.

Run the Core --> IB --> IRM --> eII Edit Configuration to match their values with HMS Data Extractor parameters. Depending on how the HMS Data Extractor parameters are set up, you may accept or change the default values. Also, be sure to set the EII ACTIVE field to "YES". In the following list postfix is the station id of the VAMC site where the eII software is installed. Note: For each of the extracts running at the site, it is recommended that you set the expected day of month extract file due to 22 (twenty-two), and the days before late message is sent to 0 (zero).
