Upon further review, a coding problem was found and corrected in the INSURANCE BUFFER routine IBCNBMI.

CTX-1104-70386 Insurance Buffer Code / HD64375 Problem: -------- At Central Texas VA Health Care System (HCS), Temple, TX, a problem was found while using the Process Insurance Buffer [IBCN INSURANCE BUFFER PROCESS] option. When processing (accepting) the insurance buffer entry, the data fields in question do not transfer over into the patient's record although the user has made that request. Resolution: ----------- A coding error was found in the routine IBCNBMI. The section of code that moves Buffer Insurance Group/Plan data to the GROUP INSURANCE PLAN file (#355.3) was corrected. TECHNICAL: ========== 1. CTX-1104-70386 Insurance Buffer Code Process: a. PROCESS+2^IBCNBAA calls ACCEPT^IBCNBAR b. PROCESS+11^IBCNBAR calls routine GRP^IBCNBMI c. GRP+1^IBCNBMI contains pointers to the GROUP INSURANCE PLAN file (#355.3). A problem at GRPDR+1^IBCNBMI prevented the following Group/Plan data from filing. ;;40.04^.05^Require UR^ ; Utilization Review Required ;;40.05^.06^Require Pre-Cert^ ; Pre-Certification Required ;;40.06^.12^Require Amb Cert^ ; Ambulatory Care Certification ;;40.07^.07^Exclude Pre-Cond^ ; Exclude Pre-Existing Conditions ;;40.08^.08^Benefits Assign^ ; Benefits Assignable ;;40.09^.09^Type of Plan^ ; Type of Plan The following line of code, in the routine indicated, was modified: From this: GRPDR ; ;;355.3^40.02:40.03;40.1;40.11;40.5:40.09;^.03:.04;6.02;6.03;.05:.09;.12 To this: GRPDR ; ;;355.3^40.02:40.03;40.1;40.11;40.04:40.09;^.03:.04;6.02;6.03;.05:.09;.12 GETS^DIQ now pulls in the Group/Plan fields (#.04:.09) of the Group Insurance Plan file (#355.3) that were not being updated before.
