Subject: ALLOW FOR NULL PROVIDER SSN WHEN SENDING DATA TO NPCDB

Category: 
  - Routine

Description:
============

 Allow a null Provider SSN when sending data to the NPCDB in Austin.  
 There are cases where the provider is not a US citizen and, therefore, 
 does not have a SSN. The error associated with this is: D140 - Provider 
 SSN missing or invalid.

 NOIS OVERVIEW:
 ==============
 1.  MPI-1102-61160   D140 Error Code
    
     Problem:
     --------
     Since the national release of patches SD*5.3*245 and DG*5.3*389,
     sites are getting error code D140 when running the "Incomplete
     Encounters by Error" report.  Error D140 was introduced by patch
     SD*5.3*245 for Provider SSN missing or invalid (i.e., contains 5
     leading zeroes).  In cases where the provider is a non-U.S. citizen
     and has no SSN or, when lab tests are completed at another facility
     and the provider is not in the site's New Person file, the SSN will
     be blank.
    
     Resolution:
     -----------
     An optional input parameter (NULLOK) is added to the SSN
     validation logic in routine SCMSVUT0, where 1=Allow SSN to be null
     and 0=Don't allow null SSNs (default).  Additionally, the validation 
     logic for error code D140 is updated in the Transmitted Outpatient 
     Encounter Error Code (#409.76) file.
    
 TECHNICAL:
 ==========
    
 Optional input parameter (NULLOK) will be added to subroutine SSN in
 routine SCMSVUT0, as follows:
    
    SSN(DATA,NOPCHK,NULLOK)
    
 And, line SSN+7 will be changed:
    
    From:  I '$D(DATA) Q 0
      To:  I $G(DATA)="" Q +$G(NULLOK)
    
 Additionally, the validation logic for error code D140 is updated 
 in the Transmitted Outpatient Encounter Error Code (#409.76) file
 with post-init routine SC345PST, as follows:
    
    From:  S RES=$$SSN^SCMSVUT0(DATA,1)
      To:  S RES=$$SSN^SCMSVUT0(DATA,1,1)

 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
 ==========================
 If the patch is installed during the normal workday, it is recommended
 that the menu option shown in item 7a below be disabled.  This patch
 should not be installed while the Ambulatory Care Nightly Transmission

 1.  LOAD TRANSPORT GLOBAL
     ---------------------
     Choose the PackMan message containing this patch and invoke the
     INSTALL/CHECK MESSAGE PackMan option.
    
 2.  DISABLE ROUTINE MAPPING   (DSM for Open VMS sites only)
     -----------------------
     Disable routine mapping on all systems for the routines listed in
     the routine summary.
    
     NOTE:  If the routine(s) included in this patch are not currently in
     your mapped routine set, please skip this step.
    
 3.  START UP KIDS
     -------------
     Start up the Kernel Installation and Distribution System Menu

     2.    Verify Checksums in Transport Global
     3.    Print Transport Global
     4.    Compare Transport Global to Current System
     5.    Backup a Transport Global
     6.    Install Package(s)
           Restart Install of Package(s)
           Unload a Distribution
    
 4.  From this menu, you may elect to use the following options
     (when prompted for INSTALL NAME, enter SD*5.3*345):

         backup any other changes such as DDs or templates.
    
     b.  Compare Transport Global to Current System - This option will
         allow you to view all changes that will be made when the patch
         is installed.  It compares all components of the patch
         (routines, DDs, templates, etc.).
    
     c.  Verify Checksums in Transport Global - This option will ensure
         the integrity of the routines that are in the transport global.
    
 5.  Use the Install Package(s) option and select the package SD*5.3*345.
    
 6.  When prompted "Want KIDS to INHIBIT LOGONS during the
     install? YES//" respond NO.
    
 7.  When prompted "Want to DISABLE Scheduled Options, Menu Options,
