INSURANCE BUFFER FILE ACCESS    ICR (4785)

Access to the Insurance Buffer file (#355.33) is
granted solely for the purpose of creating HL7 messages for the PFSS project.

Update: IB*2*497 increased the length of the SUBSCRIBER ID field, NAME OF
INSURED field, GROUP NAME, and GROUP NUMBER field to support the EDI New
Standards and Operating Rules for VHA providers. This required length increase
made it necessary to move the location of these 4 fields to new Data
Dictionary nodes.  To support this implementation, all subscribers to this ICR
will need to make the necessary changes in their applications to reference the
new fields and remove the references to the old fields.  When all subscribers
have implemented the use of the new fields, the old fields will be deleted
with IB*2*518. Old and new fields are noted in the field list detail of this
ICR.
