routines may be deleted after successful installation of the NEWBORN DG FB IB

PATIENT file (#391). This new selection will be available on Registration
Screen <7>.
2. A sponsor is required for all Newborns determined by having the DOB less
than one (1) year from the present date. An inconsistency check has been added

Re-verification) are acceptable.
4. Fee Authorization dates associated with Newborns have checks in place to
not allow Authorization dates that fall outside the accepted range of Newborn
Authorization. The range is DOB to DOB+7. The system will warn the user and
not accept an Authorization date that falls outside the appropriate range for
a Newborn.
5. When a Veteran Mother of a Sponsored Newborn is reviewed in the
Registration screens, Screen <15> will display the Newborn(s), with the
additional header of "Sponsored Newborn".
