DVA Online Claiming Workarounds

This document outlines approved DVA Online Claiming (Release 5) workarounds for Pracsoft.

Medicare Australia's Release 5 of online claiming (included in Pracsoft 3.5 to 3.54) contained changes to the way DVA vouchers need to be recorded. Additional details were mandatory when recording DVA vouchers in Release 5 of Online Claiming. Some of these fields will no longer be mandatory in the next release of Online Claiming.

Due to the feedback from Practice Managers, Medical Practitioners and Software vendors, the Department of Veterans Affairs have approved the following 'Text Field Workarounds' for Practices that do not want to provide the additional detail for some fields.
