This project ensures the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) compliance with Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) and Electronic Remittance Advice (ERA) Operating Rules, and enables VA to more effectively use ERA data, resulting in better revenue and cash flow management. It will provide the infrastructure foundation for electronic exchange of claim payment information and promotes an inter operable system. It will reduce the time elapsed between receipt of the EDI 835 Electronic Remittance Advice Transaction and receipt of the Cash Concentration or Disbursement (CCD+) transactions. It will ensure that trace numbers between payments and remittances can be used by VA, reducing the level of open accounts receivable, allow claim denials to be more quickly addressed and standardizes Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) and ERA enrollment to reduce workload burden on VA staff. This patch contains changes to the ePayments (835 and EFT) program area to ensure compliance. Specifically, enhancements to the Veterans Health Information Systems and Technology Architecture (VistA) Third Party EDI Lockbox module to increase timely and accurate processing of payments for electronic claims in compliance with Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and Veterans Health Administration (VHA) Fiscal Accounting policies. The ePayments system is used by Accounts Receivable (AR) staff to process payments from third party payers for both medical and pharmacy claims.
