   VistA Fee Basis via new transactions that update the VistA database.  
   Users will no longer manually record such rejects in VistA.
 o Completion of a payment batch using the Finalize a Batch option in

   sent to Central Fee.  This new transaction will instruct Central Fee of
   any payment line items that must be deleted (i.e. local rejects) and

This patch will enhance the interface between VistA Fee Basis and Central
Fee to improve the consistency of payment line item data between the
systems.  This will prevent duplicate ICN payments by ensuring that a 
payment line cannot be reprocessed in VistA Fee Basis unless it has been 
removed from Central Fee.  The primary interface enhancements consist of

codes to more than 68,000. Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) procedure 
codes increase from about 3,800 ICD-9 codes to nearly 87,000. Both 
systems also expand the number of characters allotted to seven 
alpha-numeric characters. This value does not include the decimal point, 
which follows the third character for the ICD-10-CM code set. There is no 
decimal point in the ICD-10-PCS code set.
 
These code sets have the potential to reveal more about quality of care, 
so that data can be used in a more meaningful way to better understand 
complications, better design clinically robust algorithms, and better

track the outcomes of care. ICD-10-CM also incorporates greater 
specificity and clinical detail to provide information for clinical 
decision making and outcomes research.
 
This patch is to implement ICD-10 Remediation for Fee Basis.
 
The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD-10) 
Class 1 Software Remediation project replaces the 30-year-old set of 
diagnosis and procedure codes (ICD-9-CM) that medical personnel use. 
Dates of service, or dates of discharge for inpatients, that occur on or 
after the implementation date will use the ICD-10 code set. Clinical

- DESCRIPTION:    
This National Patch consists of FEE BASIS enhancements related to the 
received from Non-Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) providers which 
are necessary for third party billing.
 
The proposed enhancement seeks modifications the FB application's 
Potential Cost Recovery Report (PCRR) to ensure that all Non-VA Care 
billed line item charges are included, regardless of responses entered
in the FB software by Fee Clerks." By removing the report filtering
that pertains to the SC Condition and Potential Cost Recovery data 
values, line item charges previously excluded based on responses to 
POTENTIAL COST RECOVERY and SC CONDITION prompts in FB all Non-VA 
following NSRs:
care billed line item charges will appear on the PCRR, enabling the 
Revenue Staff to optimize cost recovery. 
 
NSR #20081010 - Billing Precertification Enhancements
 
Typically, Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) facilities are able to 
provide all of the necessary medical care and services required by its
patients. However, there are times when the Veteran is not able to 
access VA health care facilities based on geographic constraints, due 
to medical emergencies, or because it is economically advantageous to 
 
provide treatment in the community. In these cases, the VA may 
authorize medical care at private-sector facilities for those Veterans
who meet the eligibility requirements. This concept is referred to as
FEE BASIS (FB) (or Non-VA) care.
 
Regardless of where the care is provided, precertification is often a 
prerequisite for certain services before payment is issued by insurance
companies. Precertification is the process of obtaining approval from
the Veteran's private insurance health plan for routine hospital 
inpatient admissions or outpatient visits prior to the delivery of 
NSR ##20110304 - Service Connected Decision
health care. Currently, Medical Care Collections Fund (MCCF) Staff is 
not notified of scheduled VA-provided outpatient services requiring 
precertification. Notification regarding authorized 
nonservice-connected FB care is received after treatment has been 
rendered. As a result, VA Medical Centers (VAMCs) often miss 
opportunities to be reimbursed by insurance companies for care due to 
the lack of obtaining timely precertification.
 
The goal of this project is to assist the VAMCs in obtaining timely p
recertification from third party payers before care is rendered by 
 
notifying the appropriate staff as soon as VA-provided outpatient 
services requiring precertification are scheduled and authorizations 
are created in the Veterans Health Information Systems and Technology 
Architecture (VistA) Fee Package for inpatient or outpatient care. This
would also provide an opportunity for insurance identification/ 
verification processes (either internally or externally/outsourced) to 
be completed prior to treatment.
The Fee-Revenue Service Connected (SC) Condition Decision project will 
enhance the interface between the Integrated Billing (IB) and Fee Basis
(FB) Veterans Health Information Systems and Technology Architecture 
(VistA) applications by automating the transfer of data elements
