============================================================================= Run Date: FEB 16, 2012 Designation: PSX*2*73 Package : PSX - CMOP Priority: Mandatory Version : 2 SEQ #63 Status: Released Compliance Date: MAR 17, 2012 ============================================================================= Associated patches: (v)PSX*2*69 <<= must be installed BEFORE `PSX*2*73' Subject: EPHARMACY PHASE 6 Category: - Enhancement (Mandatory) - Routine Description: ============ This patch has enhancements that extend the capabilities of the Veterans Health Information Systems and Technology Architecture (VistA) electronic pharmacy (ePharmacy) billing system. Below is a list of all the applications involved in this project along with their patch number: APPLICATION/VERSION PATCH --------------------------------------------------------------- OUTPATIENT PHARMACY (OP) V. 7.0 PSO*7*385 INTEGRATED BILLING (IB) V. 2.0 IB*2*452 ELECTRONIC CLAIMS MANAGEMENT ENGINE (ECME) V. 1.0 BPS*1*11 CONSOLIDATED MAIL OUTPATIENT PHARMACY (CMOP) V. 2.0 PSX*2*73 The patches (PSO*7*385, IB*2*452, BPS*1*11, and PSX*2*73) are being released in the Kernel Installation and Distribution System (KIDS) multi-build distribution BPS PSO IB PSX BUNDLE 7.0. The purpose of this software package is to maintain compliance with legislative and federal mandates and to address and correct gaps and inefficiencies in the current electronic pharmacy billing processes. This will ultimately increase revenues collected by VA Medical Centers and outpatient pharmacies by reducing the volume of short pays and payment denials. All pharmacy claims for payers that are processed electronically are compliant with the current industry standards. This software adds support for the electronic billing of the Health Administration Center (HAC) CHAMPVA payer in order to provide an automated process and to prevent manual workarounds for CHAMPVA. This specific patch contains the following functionality: --------------------------------------------------------- 1. The ECME# label and data have been removed from the CMOP/ECME Activity Report [BPS RPT CMOP/ECME ACTIVITY] and also from the Excel output. 2. The background process that calculates suspense days will now round any partial day to the next full day. 3. The ePharmacy Date of Service Calculation no longer considers the Fill Date as an acceptable value. The algorithm uses the release date if it exists. If the release date does not exist, the algorithm uses the current date.
