An error is presented, and the user is not allowed to assign the NPI again. This remediation now checks for an effective date before allowing the message to present and denial of re-assignment of the NPI.

Problem: -------- Sites are reporting they are unable to assign an NPI Non-VA Facility: option to a NON/OTHER VA PROVIDER: The message they receive is "The NPI of ####### is now, or was in the past, associated with "institution file name" in the INSTITUTION file." Resolution: ----------- Current code in routine IBCEP81 checks for the "ANPI" cross reference before giving the message and not allowing assignment. However, it was determined that when the Effective date the NPI is removed from the Institution file #4 the "ANPI" cross reference is not removed. Solution is to add code in this patch that also looks for an Effective date prior to allowing the NPI assignment to be blocked. 2.INC38712726 - Inability to assign an NPI using the NP Non-Va Provider option of the Provider ID Maintenance [IBCE PROVIDER MAINT].
