This law defines the application of copayments for veterans receiving Long Term Care (LTC) services. These patches represent Phase III of the Long Term Care Copayments project and will address the following requirements: 1. Allow the addition of a new LTC Copayment Test for the veteran at any time, including multiple tests within the same year. 2. Allow the entry of burial and funeral expenses for veterans with no spouse or dependant. 3. Allow the entry of expenses greater than total income on the input screen for the LTC Copayment Test (10-10EC). 4. Enable a user to delete a LTC Copayment Test (10-10EC) or edit the date of a LTC Copayment Test if the user has been assigned the appropriate security key (DG MTDELETE). 5. Display the veteran's LTC copayment status and last test date on the following Registration screens: Load/Edit, Patient Inquiry, and Register a Patient. If the test is more than a year old, the message "**NEW TEST REQUIRED**" is also displayed. If the veteran did not agree to pay the copayments, a message is displayed that indicates that the veteran is ineligible for LTC services. 6. Prevent the entry of a LTC Copayment Test for a patient who is not a veteran. 7. Correct the display of the Declines to Provide Financial Information field to include both the "YES" and "NO" responses when the LTC Copayment Test is displayed. 8. Modify the Calculated LTC Copayments report to correctly display the maximum copayment amounts for veterans who refuse to pay the copayment. 9. Correct the determination of the LTC Copayment status when a veteran's income is $0. The LTC Copayment status will be Exempt. This change will address the NOIS call MAC-1102-61792.
