| 12 | Problem St atement | |
| 13 | The Center s for Medi care & Med icaid Serv ices (CMS) is replac ing their Health Ins urance Cla im Number (HICN or H IC) with a Medicare Beneficiar y Identifi er (MBI). The MBI sh all become the ident ifier that eInsuranc e routines store as Subscriber ID for Me dicare sub scribers ( in place o f the HICN ). | |

| 19 | Background | |
| 20 | CMS plans a phased t ransition to the use of the MB I. The dat e boundari es for the transitio n period a re below: | |
| 21 | Begin Apri l 1, 2018 | |
| 22 | End Decemb er 31, 201 9 | |
| 23 | CMS will b egin maili ng new car ds (bearin g the MBI) to their subscriber s in a pha sed mail-o ut, beginn ing April 1, 2018. T he CMS sch eduled “go live” for the MBI R equest tra nsaction b eing offer ed to VA i s March 10 , 2018. Du ring the H ICN-to-MBI transitio n period, CMS will a ccept eith er the HIC N or the M BI as the Subscriber ID in inc oming tran sactions, with the f ollowing e xception: | |
| 24 | Patients w ho are new ly enrolle d in Medic are (with effective dates of A pril 1, 20 18, or lat er) will n ot be issu ed a HICN. Any trans actions su bmitted on behalf of these pat ients afte r April 1, 2018, mus t submit t he MBI as Subscriber ID for th at patient (with no exceptions ). | |
| 25 | As of Janu ary 1, 202 0, all Med icare tran sactions s ent to CMS must incl ude the MB I. Any tra nsaction w ith a HICN would the reafter be rejected for the re ason Inval id Subscri ber ID. | |

| 109 | CMS Not Ab le To Loca te Patient | |
| 110 | If CMS is unable to locate the Patient w ho is the subject of an MBI Re quest and responds w ith an AAA * Request Validation error of Invalid Su bscriber I D, then FS C shall ec ho back th e Patient Identifica tion (PID) and Payer ID (IN1) that were sent by Vi stA (FSC s hall use e xisting ma pping to e cho). | |

| 113 | When CMS r eturns the message N ew Medicar e Card wit h MBI Not Yet Mailed , FSC shal l convey t hat messag e text to VistA (and also make it availa ble to ICB ) for disp lay in the Buffer en try. | |
| 114 | FSC Defini tion and C ommunicati on of Spec ial MBI Pa yer | |
| 115 | FSC shall define a S pecial MBI Payer and shall con trol the v alue assig ned to tha t Special Payer usin g a site p arameter. | |
| 116 | FSC shall send a Pay er Table U pdate Mess age (File #365.12) t o all site s to creat e the Spec ial MBI Pa yer (Payer ID = VA N ational ID ). | |

| 118 | CMS Test I nterval an d Test Alt ernatives | |
| 119 | CMS will b e testing in live pr oduction d uring the period beg inning Jan uary 29, 2 018, and e nding Febr uary 23, 2 018. This window of opportuni ty for VA to test li ve with CM S coincide s with the currently scheduled IOC timef rame for e Insurance Build 4 (J anuary 16 to Februar y 13, 2018 ). | |
| 120 | In the eve nt that de pendencies and/or co nstraints do not all ow readine ss to test during th is window, FSC has p roposed a backup pla n to test using a si mulated en vironment. | |
| 121 | Test Consi derations | |
| 122 | There is s ome Build 4 gatekeep er code wi th restric tive crite ria for th e throughp ut of test patients to the FSC Eligibili ty Communi cator (IBC NEUT7 – Ge neral eIV Utilities) which sho uld not be supplied to sites d uring IOC (due to th e potentia l for crea ting extra work for testers). Suggestion is to tes t this fun ctionality during th e Componen t Integrat ion Test ( CIT) and/o r User Acc eptance Te st (UAT). | |
| 123 | The EI Req uest Elect ronic Insu rance Inqu iry functi on has a s ecurity ke y (IBCNE I IV SUPERVI SOR) assig ned at the menu leve l; however , it has b een verifi ed that CP AC assigns that key to all use rs. A futu re user st ory is pro posed to r emove this security key, since it has no effect. | |
| 124 | To assist in the ide ntificatio n of the M BI Request /Response and its as sociation with the d esignated Special Pa yer (pursu ant to the proposal to use a u nique Paye r both for the MBI R equest and also for the future Insurance Discovery Extract R equest), t he user sh ould set A uto Match [site para meter X (i nstead of “CMS”)] to [site par ameter Y ( the site p arameter f or the Spe cial MBI P ayer, inst ead of “Me dicare Pay er”)]. | |
| 125 | Vista must be able t o handle t he conditi on where t he site pa rameter fo r Special MBI Payer has not ye t been pop ulated (du e to the p ossible no n-sequenti al receipt of Table Update Mes sages for the Payer Table and the associ ated site parameter) . | |
| 126 | The follow ing FSC-sp ecific fun ctionality (cited in the Busin ess Rules section of this User Story) mu st be test ed with IC B as well as in the VistA user interface : | |
| 127 | When CMS r eturns the message N ew Medicar e Card wit h MBI Not Yet Mailed , then FSC shall con vey that m essage tex t to VistA (and also make it a vailable t o ICB) for display i n the Buff er entry ( as static explanator y informat ion for th e user). | |
| 128 | Assumption s | |
| 129 | It is assu med that, although t he current code for EI Electro nic Insura nce Inquir y (Routine IBCNEQU) blocks inq uiries for non-Veter ans/depend ents, that block wil l not adve rsely impa ct the out come for M BI Request s (spouses and/or de pendents w ould typic ally be co vered by T ri-Care or CHAMPVA). | |
| 130 | VistA will not trans mit the GT 1 (Guarant or) segmen t in the H L7 message for the M BI Request , because patient re lationship to insure d will alw ays be Sel f. | |
