The primary goal of this enhancement is the continued preparation of the AR software module for the implementation of further changes required by the Maintaining Internal Systems and Strengthening Integrated Outside Networks (MISSION) Act. The second goal of this enhancement is to increase timeliness and collections of billable Non-Veterans Affairs (VA) care services. Enhancements to existing VistA IB, AR, and Fee software applications would allow for increased efficiency in workflow processes leading to best practices that would ultimately be reflected in improved customer service to our Veteran population. In order to meet these goals, this patch: 1. Updates the IBUC URGENT CARE EXCEPTIONS Mail Group from Private to public so that the mail group members will receive the emails sent to this group. 2. Updates the IBUC ELIG GROUP Function so that it correctly identifies a patient's Enrollment Group so that the patient Urgent Care Visit data at other facilities the patient is enrolled at will update correctly. 3. Modifies the IBUC MULTI FAC COPAY SYNCH nightly process option to assign a user to the Option so that the task will correctly file patient Urgent Care Visit updates at remote facilities.
