Non-VA Care Medical System (Fee)

<p>The Non-VA Care Medical and Pharmacy System (FEE) automates the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) Fee for Service program. It authorizes and pays private physicians, hospitals, and pharmacists for products and services provided to Veterans approved for the program. Veterans are reimbursed through VistA Fee for medically-related expenses including travel. Information is entered into the VistA Fee system through Veterans Health Information Systems and Technology Architecture (VistA) online menus. VistA Fee is run at the Austin Information Technology Center and interfaces with the Financial Management System (FMS), the Beneficiary Identification and Records Locator System (BIRLS), and the VHA Work Measurement database (VWM), to produce payments, accounting updates, and reports. VistA Fee facilitates money management, master record updating, and input error resolution. Daily reports indicating all payments processed and erroneous input transactions are transmitted to approximately 170 Veterans Affairs Medical Centers (VAMCs). Letters are sent to Veterans on a monthly basis detailing payments made on their behalf to Non-VA Care Service providers. Monthly, quarterly, semi-annual and annual reports are sent to the Veterans Affairs Central Office (VACO) and VAMCs. The Non-VA Care Fee Basis Medical System is commonly referred to as Central FEE.</p>

《非退伍军人医疗及药房系统（FEE）》实现了退伍军人健康管理局（VHA）服务费用程序的自动化。该系统授权并支付私人医师、医院及药剂师因向参与本项目的退伍军人提供的产品与服务而产生的费用。退伍军人可通过VistA费用于医疗相关支出，包括旅行费用获得报销。信息通过退伍军人健康信息系统和技术架构（VistA）在线菜单录入至VistA费系统。VistA费系统在奥斯汀信息技术中心运行，并与财务管理系统（FMS）、受益人识别及记录定位系统（BIRLS）以及退伍军人健康管理局工作测量数据库（VWM）接口，以生成支付款项、会计更新及报告。VistA费系统简化了资金管理、主记录更新及输入错误解决过程。每日报告显示所有已处理的支付款项及错误输入交易，并传输至大约170家退伍军人事务医疗中心（VAMCs）。每月，系统还会向退伍军人发送信件，详细说明为其支付的非退伍军人医疗服务提供商的费用。此外，每月、每季度、每半年及年度报告将发送至退伍军人事务中央办公室（VACO）及VAMCs。非退伍军人医疗费用基础医疗系统通常被称为中央FEE。》
