$TXT Created by at MNTVBB.DOMAIN.EXT (KIDS) on Thursday, 01/24/19 at 13:09 ============================================================================= Run Date: FEB 20, 2019 Designation: PSO*7*481 Package : PSO - OUTPATIENT PHARMACY Priority: Mandatory Version : 7 SEQ #452 Status: Released Compliance Date: MAR 22, 2019 ============================================================================= Associated patches: (v)XU*8*630 <<= must be installed BEFORE `PSO*7*481' Subject: NON-VA PROVIDER UPDATES Category: - Routine - Other Description: ============ On August 7, 2014, the President signed into law PL 113-146, the Veterans Access, Choice, and Accountability Act of 2014 (VACAA). The law offers an additional authority for Veterans Health Administration (VHA) to expand current capacity and ensure that Veterans have timely access to high quality care. The law creates a new paradigm for providing health care set forth in the Veterans Choice program provisions within Title I Section 101 of VACAA. Veterans Affairs (VA) is utilizing a Contractor to provide health care and third party administrative (TPA) services set forth through VACAA Section 101. As a result of this law, VA must upload a list of non-VA medical care providers into the VistA system in order to maintain an accurate and updated list of non-VA providers in the Choice program. This patch will allow importing of "new" non-VA providers into the NEW PERSON (#200) file. A "new" provider is defined as a provider whose National Provider Identifier (NPI) is not on file yet at a site. As a safeguard, providers are not imported if a name match is found by the import process for an existing entry in the NEW PERSON (#200) file. The providers loaded by this patch are eligible to be selected as encounter providers in the Computerized Patient Record System (CPRS) application but not as ordering providers. They may be used as ordering providers in the Patient Prescription Processing [PSO LM BACKDOOR ORDERS] option. After patch PSO*7*481 is installed, sites will have the option to import data for non-VA providers into the NEW PERSON (#200) file. Follow the Non-VA Provider Import (PSO*7.0*481) Deployment, Installation, Back-out and Rollback Guide for import instructions to load the VISN-specific spreadsheet of provider data. Sites that elect not to import the non-VA provider data are not required to do so, but please note that upcoming patches to the NEW PERSON (#200) file will render this process non-functional and the decision cannot be made to load the data at a later time. All updates should be completed prior to the install of patch XU*8*688. NOTE: This patch will not be functionally testable in a mirror/test/non-production account. The functionality from this patch can only be exercised in a production environment. Defect Tracking System Ticket & Overview: ----------------------------------------- CA-SDM I12935021FY17: Non-VA Provider Import Problem: -------- The VA must upload a list of non-VA medical care providers into the VistA system in order to maintain an accurate and updated list of non-VA providers in the Choice program. Resolution: ----------- A new option is added to the Maintenance (Outpatient Pharmacy) [PSO MAINTENANCE] menu, Non-VA Provider Import [PSO NON-VA PROVIDER IMPORT]. An additional new option, Non-VA Provider Inactivate [PSO NON-VA PROVIDER INACTIVATE], will allow for the inactivation of providers which were previously filed by this patch if it is decided later that the providers should not remain active due to workflow or other issues. Non-VA Provider Import [PSO NON-VA PROVIDER IMPORT] option, although on the Maintenance (Outpatient Pharmacy) [PSO MAINTENANCE] menu, will not be executable by the pharmacy personnel due to directory permission issue and the import must be done by the installer of the patch who has permission to the directory where the Excel files will be placed for import. Non-VA Provider Inactivate [PSO NON-VA PROVIDER INACTIVATE] option is only accessible by users with programmer level access and is not attached to a menu. Non-VA Provider Import [PSO NON-VA PROVIDER IMPORT] option (Routine PSONVAP2): Once the data is imported from Excel files and filed into the NEW PERSON (#200) file, MailMan messages are sent to the holders of the PSDMGR key containing information about: 1. Providers which were filed successfully 2. Providers which were not filed due to duplication of NPI's, etc. Example of non-VA provider filed by this patch: ---------------------------------------------- NAME: xxxx,xxxx TITLE: HN NON-VA PROVIDER STREET ADDRESS 1: 123 STREET STREET ADDRESS 2: SUITE 100 CITY: ANYTOWN STATE: ANYSTATE ZIP CODE: 12345 SEX: MALE DATE ENTERED: JUL 31, 2018 CREATOR: TASKMAN,PROXY USER NAME COMPONENTS: 200 DEGREE: MD SERVICE/SECTION: OPTIONAL SIGNATURE BLOCK PRINTED NAME: xxxx xxxx KEY: XUORES GIVEN BY: TASKMAN,PROXY USER DATE GIVEN: JUL 31, 2018 SUBJECT ORGANIZATION: Veteran Care In The Community SUBJECT ORGANIZATION ID: n/a UNIQUE USER ID: 1111111111 NPI: 1111111111 NPI ENTRY STATUS: DONE AUTHORIZE RELEASE OF NPI: Yes EFFECTIVE DATE/TIME: JUL 31, 2018@17:09:08 STATUS: ACTIVE NPI: 1111111111 AUTHORIZED TO WRITE MED ORDERS: YES DEA#: AX111111111 PROVIDER CLASS: PHYSICIAN PROVIDER TYPE: FEE BASIS REMARKS: HN NON-VA PROVIDER SCHEDULE II NARCOTIC: Yes SCHEDULE II NON-NARCOTIC: Yes SCHEDULE III NARCOTIC: Yes SCHEDULE III NON-NARCOTIC: Yes SCHEDULE IV: Yes SCHEDULE V: Yes DEA EXPIRATION DATE: OCT 31, 2020 NON-VA PRESCRIBER: YES TAX ID: 11-1111111 PSIM UPDATE USER: TASKMAN,PROXY USER PSIM UPDATE DT: JUL 31, 2018@17:09 Non-VA Provider Inactivate [PSO NON-VA PROVIDER INACTIVATE] option (Routine PSONVAP4): This routine will inactivate providers which were previously imported using the Non-VA Provider Import [PSO NON-VA PROVIDER IMPORT] option. Inactivation will be needed if it is decided later that the providers should not remain active due to workflow or other issues. Programmer access is required for this option. It is not located within a menu but can be invoked directly by someone with the XUPROG security key.
