The following features of the IB software will be affected by this patch: * Enable 277STAT transactions through the Transaction Application Suite (TAS) technology platform using Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) instead of legacy proprietary format for Professional, Institutional, and Dental claims. ** NOTE: The 277STAT is an incoming transaction. After installation of this patch, sites will be able to receive the 277STAT using either FHIR or MailMan. After installation of the patch, there will be a controlled implementation as sites are transitioned to FHIR by the Financial Services Center (FSC) in Austin. * Enhancements to X12 837 Transactions through TAS o Modify VistA to stop the user from sending more than 837 X12 limit of allowable codes - PC1 (Procedure Code) Segment. o Modify VistA to stop the user from sending more than 837 X12 limit of allowable codes - VC1 (Value Code) Segment. o Modify VistA to stop the user from sending more than 837 X12 limit of allowable codes - DC1 (Diagnosis Code) Segment. o Modify VistA to stop the user from sending more than 837 X12 limit of allowable codes - CC1 (Condition Code) Segment. o Modify VistA to stop the user from sending more than 837 X12 limit of allowable codes - OC1 (Occurrence Code) Segment. o Modify VistA to stop the user from sending more than 837 X12 limit of allowable codes - OS1 (Occurrence Span Code) Segment. o Allow up to 999 occurrences of the X12 2400 Loop (Revenue Codes) for Institutional claims. * Improvements to RCB View/Resubmit Claims - Live or Test [IBCE PREV TRANSMITTED CLAIMS] to allow easier selection of claims for resubmission. * Principal procedure code must be blank on the second and subsequent pages for printed inpatient UB-04 claims. * Modify the Re-Generate Unbilled Amounts Report [IBT RE-GEN UNBILLED REPORT] to include additional non-MCCF Rate Types.

INC20090604 MIAMI: Multiple errors - GET+25^IBCE837I Problem: -------- EDI TRANSMIT BILL (#364) file entry was missing a BILL NUMBER (#.01) field, which points to the BILL/CLAIMS (#399) file. Because of this, a error occurred when looking to the 399 file entry with a null subscript. This error stops all claims from being transmitted from the site. Resolution: ----------- Since the File 364 entry doesn't contain any useful data, the entry is deleted so that claims continue to transmit from the site. 2. Back-out of IB*2.0*649 (no tickets logged) Problem: -------- When ePharmacy entries are made to file# 433, AR TRANSACTION, the system had been using the date of service for the transaction date of each entry. The enhancement causing the defect is to use today's date as the transaction date instead of the date of service. It seems that other functions in the system assume this transaction date to be the date of service, leading to unexpected results. Resolution: ----------- The correction to this defect will be to back-out that enhancement which is being done as part of this patch.
