SHE-0801-51284 Cat C reminder letters printing Problem: -------- With DG*5.3*326, Category C veterans and those Pending Adjudication and having agreed to pay the deductible, and whose Means Test is more recent than 10/05/99, will no longer be subject to an annual MT. However, if the site has the Income Test Reminder Letters option turned on, these now exempt patients are included in the output. Since they are no longer subject to MT, their copay status will remain unchanged. As such, they should no longer be included in those patients due for a reminder. Resolution: ----------- This patch corrects the issue by checking the veteran's status and removing them from the Means Test reminder list if they meet the criteria mentioned above. 2. COA-0403-21056 MAIN+2^IBTOSUM2 in MCCR/UR SUMMARY REPORT Problem: -------- When running the IBT OUTPUT MCCR/UR SUMMARY option for a date range that contains no Claims Tracking entry that is ACTIVE, INSURED and BILLABLE, an undefined error would occur. The printing function expected to find a value in the counter IBCNT(3,0) but if no records were selected during the search, the counter was never set. Resolution: ----------- The counter array variable IBCNT(3,0) is initialized to zero prior to the record search. 3. SBY-0403-30897 Claims Waiting Austin Acknowledgement Problem: -------- When acknowledgment messages or status update messages are received from Austin, they are delivered to the S.IBCE MESSAGES SERVER option. Because there is no specific SERVER MAIL GROUP defined for this option, and the SUPRESS BULLETIN field is NULL (the default is to send), a message is sent to the default MAIL GROUP defined in the XQSERVER Bulletin (file 3.6). This is GENERALLY a mail group called XQSERVER but it may have some other name. If this MAIL GROUP specified in the XQSERVER Bulletin suddenly has NO active members (for whatever reason), the incoming messages will be RECEIVED, but the IBCE MESSAGES SERVER is not served. The server option is listed as a recipient but server action was not processed due to a security violation. Resolution: ----------- The issue could be resolved on a local basis by making sure that there is always a member of whichever mail group is specified by the XQSERVER bulletin. However, to avoid the problem altogether, this patch will set the SUPRESS BULLETIN field of the IBCE MESSAGES SERVER option to YES. The bulletin only announces that there has been server activity. It is not necessary for actual distribution of the incoming reports so suppressing the bulletin will have no detrimental effect. 4. BRX-0403-12417 BULL1+4^IBTUBUL:1, %DSM-E-UNDEF, undefined variable Problem: -------- When running the option IBT SEND TEST UNBILLED MESS, a software error is logged because the TESTV subroutine fails to initialize the IBUNB("EPISM-A") variable. This problem only occurs for the TEST messages and not for the real messages. Resolution: ----------- The missing variable is initialized so that the TEST message function can be utilized. TECHNICAL: ========== 1. SHE-0801-51284 Cat C reminder letters printing Changes are made to routines: IBARXEL, IBARXEL1 The function $$BIL^DGMTUB(X,Y) is called and the veteran is either sent a letter or not sent a letter based on the result. 2. COA-0403-21056 MAIN+2^IBTOSUM2 in MCCR/UR SUMMARY REPORT The initialization of the IBCNT array is modified in the RPT section of routine IBTOSUM. The code S IBCNT(3,0)=0 is added. 3. SBY-0403-30897 Claims Waiting Austin Acknowledgement The SUPRESS BULLETIN field (#224) of the OPTION file (#19) for option IBCE MESSAGES SERVER is set to the value Y. 4. BRX-0403-12417 BULL1+4^IBTUBUL:1, %DSM-E-UNDEF, undefined variable The TESTV subroutine of IBTUBUL is modified to contain the line: S IBUNB("EPISM-A")=11111.
