This law defines the application of copayments for veterans receiving Long Term Care (LTC) services. This patch represents Phase IV of the Long Term Care Copayments project and will address the following requirements: 1. The financial data screens in the Add, Edit and View a LTC Copayment Test options will be modified to reflect the format changes made to the Application for Extended Care (10-10EC) paper form. 2. The system will support the display and printing of the LTC Copayment Tests in either the old or new 10-10EC format, depending on which one was used to complete the test. 3. A new menu option will be added to print a choice of two reports: one is of veterans whose LTC copayment test (10-10EC) has already expired, the other is of veterans whose LTC copayment test (10-10EC) is due to expire within a user-specified period of time. The user will be prompted to select which report they wish to print and either a date range (for expired tests) or a number of days (for tests pending expiration). 4. The user will be able to indicate if a veteran is legally separated and if so the copayments will be calculated using the rules for an unmarried veteran. 5. The options to Add or Edit a LTC Copayment test will be modified to enable the user to indicate that the veteran is exempt from LTC copayments (for a reason other than low income) and complete the LTC Copay Test without having to go through all of the financial screens. 6. The Eligibility Status Data (Screen 2) in the Add, Edit and View a LTC Copayment Test options will be replaced by the Insurance Data (Screen 5) from the Registration options. 7. The format of the Calculated LTC Copayments report will be modified. The user will be prompted to choose to print the copayments for either inpatient or outpatient services, then enter the patient's LTC admission date (for the inpatient report) and report start date.
