I.  Introduction


This patch is being released along with PSS*1*139 and IB*2*405.  These patches can be installed in any order but the full functionality for Nutritional Supplement additions contained within these patches will not be available until all 3 patches are installed.

For Tricare functionality, previously nationally released patches PSO*7*287, PSX*2*66, IB*2*383, and BPS*1*6 comprised the ePharmacy Tricare dormant release.   Patches PSS*1*139, PSO*7*303, and IB*2*405 comprise the ePharmacy Tricare active release.  

Note graphic
Tricare functionality described in this document will become active when IB*2*405 patch is installed and a Tricare Payer Sheet is subsequently defined for the site.  For sites that do not bill Tricare, the software will remain dormant.  For sites who bill Tricare prescriptions, the ePharmacy Implementation Team will notify them when they should activate ePharmacy Tricare billing.




(This page included for two-sided copying.)



Tricare Functionality:

The software will be activated when a Tricare payer sheet is linked.  See Integrated Billing documentation for information concerning payer sheet linkage and contact your billing administrator before activating a Tricare payer sheet.

  • Prescriptions where the patient is Tricare eligible will be submitted to ECME for third party insurance processing in the same manner as all other insurance types. Patients with dual eligibility insurance is not addressed with this release of Tricare.
  • When a Tricare prescription has a third party rejection, the same reject notification screen will be displayed to the user as is currently done for the Veteran eligibility. 
  • The Third Party Payer Rejects - Worklist [PSO REJECTS WORKLIST] option and the Third Party Payer Rejects - View/Process [PSO REJECTS VIEW/PROCESS] option has been modified to process and display Tricare third party rejections.
  • If ECME's status on the claim remains in an "In Progress" state past the processing time out during finish of the prescription, Tricare prescriptions will not be filled and must be discontinued.
  • If the pharmacy is active for ePharmacy processing, but the insurance plan is not linked or not active, Tricare prescriptions will be allowed to be filled normally.  The phrase "Inactive ECME Tricare" will be displayed during Finish of the prescription.

Miscellaneous Functionality Modifications:

This functionality is active for all sites:

  • Modifications to change the default answer of (I)gnore on the Reject  Processing Screen to (Q)uit, which automatically sends the claim rejection information to the Pharmacy Reject Worklist for these actions: new orders, copies, edits that create new orders, and renewals. 
  • Software was added to handle the new "N” for Nutritional Supplement DEA special handling code added in patch PSS*1*139.  This new "N" code will be treated the same as supply items and investigational drugs in Outpatient Pharmacy.
  • For the ePharmacy Medication Profile (VIEW ONLY) [PSO PMP] option, flagged pending orders will be noted on the medication profile screen by highlighting the sequence number shown on the left side of the screen. Note that the "Flagged by..." information shown once the prescription is selected is already present with the PSO*7*225 release.


A.  Tricare 3rd party claim submissions


Prescriptions where the patient is Tricare eligible will be submitted to ECME for third party insurance processing in the same manner as all other insurance types.  Tricare dual eligibility will not be addressed in this release.  Tricare eligibility is determined by Integrated Billing (IB). An indicator is returned to Outpatient Pharmacy PRESCRIPTION file (#52) and REFILL multiple (#52.1), to be stored in the new BILLING ELIGIBILITY INDICATOR field (#85).  Because this is a set of codes field, the internal value will be T, V or C. These values will be displayed respectively to the user as TRICARE, VETERAN, or CHAMPVA. Note:  CHAMPVA submissions will not be addressed in this patch.  Prescriptions with a 'VETERAN' eligibility flag are currently processed through ECME.

B.  Reject notification screen


When ePharmacy is active for the site and upon finish of a prescription, a third party claim submission is made to ECME.  If the third party payer rejects the claim, a reject notification screen is displayed to the user for reject codes of Refill-too-soon (79) and DUR (88).  With this patch, the same reject notification screen will be displayed for Tricare prescriptions that have a third party claim rejection.  Tricare rejections will be stored in the same manner as DUR (88)  and RTS (79) prescription rejects except for the following:

The following exceptions will apply for Tricare prescriptions:

  • Rejected Tricare claims will be denoted with “TRICARE” during submission to ECME phase and within the subsequent reject notification screen.  Also, the reject codes will be displayed in both places.  The following example shows a prescription being submitted to ECME and this process occurs directly following the “Is this correct? YES//” prompt during finish:

2.    Processing of Tricare Rejections


·         The Reject Information screen has been modified to display TRICARE in the header for the Reject Information section.  For DUR/RTS Tricare rejects, the IGN - Ignore Reject action will be shown but will not be selectable.

In the following example the user entered IGN to ignore the RTS (79) reject.  The system displayed “INVALID: TRICARE rejected Rxs may not be ignored” on the message bar because the reject is a Tricare refill-too-soon reject.

·         A person who resolves Tricare non-DUR/RTS rejects is dependent upon the type of reject.  Dispense As Written(DAW) reject code 22 can be resolved by pharmacy staff by editing the prescription and entering the appropriate DAW code which would result in a claims resubmission.  Other insurance related rejects (i.e.  missing eligibility or cardholder ID number) would be resolved by the Outpatient Pharmacy Electronic Claims Coordinator (OPECC).  Once the rejection has been resolved, the Reject Information screen under the pharmacy reject worklist will show the status of the prescription as E PAYABLE.  At this point the user may select the FIL action which will prompt for label print.
