Introduction
CAPRI Contract Referral (CCR)
Background
CCR is a utility used within the Disability Clinics of the VAMC’s or Military Installations to facilitate referral of disability exams to vendors awarded contracts through the Disability Examination Management Contract (DEM).
Overview of the CCR process
Initial Status Screen - From this screen you can perform the following;
CCR reads examination requests entered through the CAPRI system in VBA. Clinic users use CCR to select a patient entered in CAPRI, select an exam request, and then select individual examination(s) associated with the request. An associated contractor is then selected to receive this referral. Once satisfied with the selections, the clinic user refers the exam(s). This action sets a date of referral, to the contractor, in VistA. It also transmits an XML file to the selected contractor providing:
1.Veteran contact information
2.Facility contact information
3.The selected examination(s) from the request
4.All the remarks from the request
5.Indication of requisite review of claim folder review and its impending arrival
If the contractor requests referral to be resent the XML is simply generated using the previous information.
Once the DEM contractor has completed the examination the results are placed on the contractor's FTP site where they are available for the clinic to download. The clinic downloads the results where they can be reviewed by the clinicians.
Manage Patient's C&P Exam Request - From this screen you can;
Release Open Request
The clinician can release the results or marked the results as Insufficient.
Mark Insufficient / Reassign to Vendor
If the request is marked insufficient it can be reassigned to the vendor.
Re-open this Request
Re-opening a request will clear previous status information and may affect site statistics.
You can delete the referral of any or all exams associated with the request. If you delete an already referred exam, this action must be done with extreme caution especially if an examination has been referred and the XML already sent.
