| 6 | Background | |
| 7 | Insurance eligibilit y requests always us e the pati ent date o f birth (D OB) from r egistratio n when the patient i s the subs criber. S ubsequent auto-updat e also com pares the DOB provid ed by the insurer (o n the 271 response) with this Patient fi le date. If these d ates do no t match, a patient i nsurance f ile will n ever auto- update (be cause insu rance pers onnel cann ot change the regist ration rec ord) and o ften retur n rejected responses as payer cannot loc ate patien t. | |

| 9 | This creat es a probl em verifyi ng a patie nt record when a Vet eran may h ave given inaccurate informati on to the military a bout their DOB. VA always use s the Vete ran’s DOB as provide d on milit ary record s in the r egistratio n file. I t is not a lways the most accur ate DOB, e specially when it co mes to Med icare enro llment. M edicare of ten has a different DOB than V A, and if a successf ul respons e cannot b e obtained , the buff er entry n ever auto- updates. | |
| 10 | ||
| 11 | We want th e ability to use the DOB as en tered into the Patie nt Insuran ce Sub-Fil e to be tr ansmitted on the 270 inquiry i nstead. W e have mod ified “Sub scriber Na me” to beh ave in thi s way and want DOB b ehavior to match. | |

| 13 | There is n o change t o or depen dency on t he Insuran ce Capture Buffer (I CB) applic ation, whi ch will co ntinue to use existi ng fields. | |
| 14 | There is n o requirem ent for ad ditional f ields to b e populate d for entr y clerks ( Company, S ubscriber ID and/or DOB). | |
| 15 | There is n o change t o the beha vior of th e Subscrib er Update (SU) actio n (path = Patient In surance [P I], View P olicy [VP] ). | |
| 16 | Story | |
| 17 | As an insu rance veri fier, I wa nt the 270 inquiry t o read the DOB from the Patien t Insuranc e Sub-File so that e ligibility inquiries will be s ent with t his subscr iber DOB a nd the sub sequent 27 1 response can be re turned (an d auto-upd ate occur) successfu lly. | |

| 19 | This chang e involves the PID s egment and , when the patient r elationshi p to insur ed is not “self,” th e GT1 segm ent. No c hange to H L7 message but chang ing the da ta used to populate the DOB fi eld for su bscriber. | |
