GENERAL DESCRIPTION

This DBIA will allow applications outside of

DG*5.3*506.  This should help prevent the mailing of medication and other
correspondence to known bad addresses, and will also prevent Bad Addresses
from being shared with other facilities through the Health Eligibility Center
(via Z07/Z05 messaging).
