User CR: ViPS Medicare System (VMS) - Update Interactive Correspondence Online Reporting (ICOR) Mail Date Calculation
This Change Request (CR) requires VMS to ensure the calculation of the Interactive Correspondence Online Reporting (ICOR) Mail Date field on the ICOR Header screen is updated to use the Date of Determination (DOD) rather than the System Date. This change will bring the calculation in line with the description of the field as documented in the VMS manuals. Currently, this inconsistency is causing erroneous values to display on the 323 - Appeals Activity Report used by the DME MACS to provide timeliness reporting.
