$TXT Created by BAUMANN,SCOTT A at MNTVBB.FO-ALBANY.MED.VA.GOV (KIDS) on Friday, 11/21/03 at 16:03 ============================================================================= Run Date: DEC 17, 2003 Designation: FB*3.5*68 Package : FB - FEE BASIS Priority: Mandatory Version : 3.5 SEQ #62 Status: Released Compliance Date: JAN 17, 2004 ============================================================================= Associated patches: (v)FB*3.5*61 <<= must be installed BEFORE `FB*3.5*68' Subject: FIX FPPS INTERFACE AND PHARMACY INVOICE Category: - Routine Description: ============ ******************************** N O T E ******************************** CoreFLS sites must coordinate the installation of this patch with the FB-CoreFLS development team. ************************************************************************* This patch corrects two faults with the Fee Basis software. An undefined error may occur during entry of a pharmacy invoice. Applicable adjustment data for an EDI claim is not always included in transmissions to the Fee Payment Processing System (FPPS). Associated NOIS: ================ MIN-1103-40659 ISW-1103-20349 Associated E3R: =============== N/A Test Sites: ============= The changes made by this patch are described below: 1. PREVENT UNDEFINED ERROR WHEN RX ADDED TO EXISTING PHARMACY INVOICE (MIN-1103-40659) An undefined error (variable FBFPPSC) occurs when the Enter Pharmacy Invoice [FBAA ENTER PHARMACY INVOICE] option is used to add prescriptions to a previously entered invoice. This fault was introduced by patch FB*3.5*61. A previously entered invoice can be accessed by responding to the option prompts as follows. Select Pharmacy Fee Main Menu Option: ENTER Pharmacy Invoice Are you sure you want to enter a new invoice? Yes// NO Do you want to continue a previously entered Invoice? No// YES Select FEE BASIS PHARMACY INVOICE NUMBER: Patch FB*3.5*68 corrects the problem by setting variable FBFPPSC when a previously entered invoice is selected. 2. SEND ADJUSTMENT DATA TO FPPS WHEN AMOUNT IS NEGATIVE (ISW-1103-20349) Patch FB*3.5*61 introduced a new interface. For EDI health care claims, VistA Fee Basis transmits payment advice messages to the Fee Payment Processing System (FPPS) at HAC (Denver) using HL7 messages. The message content is built by the Transmit Invoices to FPPS [FB FPPS TRANSMIT] option. The new interface has a fault. It does not include the adjustment data in the HL7 message when the adjustment amount is less than 0. Civil Hospital claims may have a negative adjustment amount since the amount paid by VA can exceed the amount claimed by the non-VA hospital. This can occur when the amount returned from the Austin Pricer is greater than the amount billed by the vendor. Patch FB*3.5*68 corrects the software so negative adjustments are sent to FPPS. ======================= INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS ======================= If installed during the normal workday it is recommended that the following menu options (File #19) be disabled to prevent possible conflicts while running the KIDS Install.
