This patch is being released with a shorter-than-normal compliance period because of the persistent problems being corrected by this patch. *************************************************** This patch is a follow-up patch to PRCA*4.5*315. It contains a number of minor defect repairs to the Reconciliation Report - Cross-Servicing [RCTCSP RECONCIL REPORT] and to the Enter/Edit Repayment Plan option [PRCAC ENTER EDIT REPAYMENT]. In addition, this patch corrects some reported out-of-balance discrepancy issues. The following is a complete list of the specific issues corrected. 1. The old columns "AMOUNT PAID" and "AMOUNT OF FEES" on the Reconciliation Report - Cross-Servicing [RCTCSP RECONCIL REPORT] were inaccurate. Further investigation revealed that the data represented in these columns were not reliably available. As a result, these columns were removed from this report. 2. The header for the Recall Date in the Excel output of the Reconciliation Report - Cross-Servicing [RCTCSP RECONCIL REPORT] was incorrect. This was corrected. 3. Leading zeroes of the SSN were lost in the Excel output of the Reconciliation Report - Cross-Servicing [RCTCSP RECONCIL REPORT]. To correct this issue, the Excel output was changed to have the last 4 digits of the SSN preceded by the first initial of the last name to prevent the loss of the leading zeroes. The heading was changed from SSN to PT ID. 4. Device handler control variable IOP was being misused in the Reconciliation Report - Cross-Servicing [RCTCSP RECONCIL REPORT]. This issue was corrected by removing the usage of variable IOP. 5. When entering a repayment plan in the option Enter/Edit Repayment Plan [PRCAC ENTER EDIT REPAYMENT], the monthly payment amounts for a repayment plan only accepted whole dollar amounts, not dollars and cents. This was corrected. 6. The option Enter/Edit Repayment Plan [PRCAC ENTER EDIT REPAYMENT] did not locate active bills for non-patient debtors. In addition, the display of the payments received since the repayment plan date, did not show payments for non-patient debtors. Both of these issues were corrected. 7. The option Enter/Edit Repayment Plan [PRCAC ENTER EDIT REPAYMENT] was unable to display older repayment plan information when the old repayment plan data was filed incompletely in the database. A hard error detect was the result. This was corrected by making the software more resilient to old, incomplete repayment plan data that may exist in the database. 8. The option Enter/Edit Repayment Plan [PRCAC ENTER EDIT REPAYMENT] had an error when performing an Edit of an existing repayment plan. Under certain conditions, the old repayment plan data was not completely removed when filing the new repayment plan data. This led to inconsistent output in the Profile of Repayment Plan [PRCAC PROFILE REPAYMENT] option. This was fixed. 9. Because of new Cross-Servicing transaction types, multiple AR reports and screens showed Out-of-Balance discrepancy errors. These AR menu options include Check Patient Account Balance [PRCA ACCOUNT CHECK], Statement Discrepancy Listing [PRCA DISC LIST], and Bill Transactions [RCDP BILL TRANSACTIONS]. Several routines were updated to recognize these new CS transaction types and to process them appropriately. 10. New Cross-Servicing transaction types were also added into the monthly AR Data Collection (ARDC) and FMS transmission processes so all of the new transaction types which have dollar amounts are included. 11. Corrupted data in the repayment plan nodes of bills caused errors in Enter/Edit Repayment Plan. This was corrected. 12. Certain specific situations caused deleted repayment plans to leave data behind. This was corrected. 13. Transactions filed by the Repayment Plan software were inconsistent. Transactions are now filed for adding bills to repayment plans and deleting repayment plans, but not edits to repayment plans. 14. In Enter/Edit Repayment Plan, the word NONE was displayed for the non-medical debt list even if payments were listed. This has been corrected.

INC1025385 - Out-of-Balance Discrepancies Problem: ------- Sites have reported balance discrepancies on two reports. Check Patient Account Balance [PRCA ACCOUNT CHECK] and Statement Discrepancy Listing [PRCA DISC LIST]. The balance discrepancies all have one of the new Cross-Servicing transactions which have a dollar amount. Resolution: ---------- Modify the code in functions TBAL^PRCAGT and TRANBAL^RCRJRCOT by adding new CS transactions #73 - CS INCREASE ADJ and #74 - CS ADMIN.COST CHARGE. 2. INC1080298 - Error in Enter/Edit Repayment Plan Problem: ------- When attempting to view, edit, or delete an existing repayment plan which is not correctly filed into the database, the following error detect can occur: PLNDTL+18^PRCARPU *PLNFRST. This can happen when there is data on the 4 node in file 430, but missing data on the 5 node. Resolution: ---------- Update the PLNDTL^PRCARPU subroutine to account for the data situation described above. 3. INC1157548 - Error in Repayment Plan for non-patient AR debtors Problem: ------- The Enter/Edit Repayment Plan [PRCAC ENTER EDIT REPAYMENT] menu option is not able to process repayment plans for non-patient AR debtors. The software needs to be able to handle repayment plans for AR debtors which are ex-employees, or vendors. Resolution: ---------- Modify the software in routine PRCARPU to use a different cross-reference file to access non-patient AR debtors in addition to patient AR debtors. Now all types of AR debtors are able to process repayment plans using that menu option described above.
