We are seeing an increase in Class 2 Address Deferrals this month. Does anyone know what's going on?
I am seeing some members on my team adding PRADDs when it is not needed or using the incorrect PRADD.
I have to agree with you Mary Jane. I reviewed 3 Class 2 Address Deferrals with team members who added an AVPOL instead of EPNOW.
Yeah Teri, I had someone who asked if they should add an AVPOL and an EPNOW PRADD for a military address.
Hmm, this could delay an order for hours before it is routed to the correct area. There was an an order in Customer Service for 3 hours before it was sent to the correct area.
Sounds like we need a TIP on PRADDS for address discrepancies. We do not want patient's orders delayed.
Common Address PRADD Scenarios:EPNOW: military addresses (EXAMPLES: APO, DPO, FPO, or Dulles VA)MDOFF: request to send to MD officeAVPOL: address discrepanciesCSMIS:Termed/Inactive accountCreating a New PatientFuture Address or Temporary AddressTemp address and note/handwritten address does not match
Do not add multiple PRADDs for an address discrepancyExample: Adding EPNOW for a military address and an AVPOL for the address discrepancySee Header Entry Address Verification, SWI 6-013 for additional address PRADD scenarios
Dennis since you are a new lead, can you work on the TIP with Teri? Be sure to point out some things we discussed earlier.
Sure thing Susan. We should have it ready for distribution today.
