To add a new 7131 request, do the following:

Step 1 - The user logs into CAPRI, selects a patient, and clicks the 7131 Request tab.

Step 2 - The user clicks the Add a New Request button.

Step 3 – The user selects either Outpatient/Activity (Figure 2-63) or Admission (Figure 2-64) depending on which one most closely relates to the request.  If no admission is listed under the Select Admission Date (Figure 2-64) then an electronic 7131 Request cannot be submitted.  

Note:  Notice of Discharge, Hospital Summary, Certificate (21-Day), and Admission Report are NOT available if the user selects Outpatient/Activity.  These options are only available if Admission is selected.

Step 4 – The user checks the items to request.  Patient Name, Requested By, Request Date, Date Last Status Changed, RO, and Admission Date are already completed.

Step 5 – The user enters comments in the area provided with details concerning the request (Figure 2-65).  A Release of Information Clerk at VHA must search old records for the user’s request and will appreciate any help the user can give by being specific about the request.

Step 6 – The user clicks Send 7131 Request and the request is transmitted. Or, the user can click Cancel Request (Figure 2-65).  CAPRI opens a dialog box asking the user to confirm the choice.

Step 7 – To inquire about the status of a 7131 request or to generate a report for proof of a request to be placed in the claims file, the user selects the Status Inquiry option.
