The goal of this enhancement is to increase timeliness and collections of billable Non-Veterans Affairs (VA) care services. Enhancements to the existing VistA IB and AR 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 IB CANCEL/EDIT/ADD option to ensure that the proper PTFs are displayed and or linked to correctly when adding TRICARE INPATIENT cost shares (copayments) by adding prompts asking for Bill From and Bill To dates on the cost share. 2. Updates the IB CANCEL/EDIT/ADD option to add a RX CHARGE prompt for TRICARE RX cost shares so that the date the prescription was filled appears on a patient's statement. 3. Updates the IB CANCEL/EDIT/ADD option to perform duplicate checks for TRICARE Cost Shares against other TRICARE cost shares and alerts users of the possible duplicate copays so the users can review account to ensure that the TRICARE cost share should be billed. 4. Updates the 1st Party Follow-up Report [IBJD FOLLOW-UP FIRST PARTY] to display the COMPACT and INDIAN ATTESTATION Suspension Reasons as separate reason when trying to run the report using one or more Suspension Reasons. 5. Updates the 1st Party Follow-up Report [IBJD FOLLOW-UP FIRST PARTY] so that the report does not error out when performing the Monthly Extracts.
