The Non-VA Hospital System (NVH) software captures the patient's Demographics, Provider, Hospital Name and Location, Medicare Provider Number, Diagnoses and Procedures for which the patient received care during his/her inpatient stay. The data is received from either the patient or the medical center providing the care (normally on a UB-92 form). The billing office employee enters the information into Veterans Health Information Systems and Technology Architecture and sends information to the Austin Information Technology Center (AITC). The non-VA hospitals are reimbursed at Medicare rates based on the Prospective System (PPS). PPS uses the appropriate Diagnostic Related Groups (DRGs). Each DRG has a different rate-adjusted reimbursement based on the regional and urban/rural designation of the provider non-VA Hospitals. NVH is housed at the AITC and uses software developed by the AITC in conjunction with 3M and the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). It is a batch system written in Common Business Oriented Language, ALC, and Statistical Analysis Software. Processing occurs daily.</p>", "identifier": "VA-VHA-CBO-008", "issued": "2017-07-26", "keyword": ["npi", "drg", "nva", "patient", "provider", "basis", "va", "veteran", "fee", "inpatient", "medicare"], "landingPage": "https://www.data.va.gov/d/5t5i-ahbe", "language": ["en-US"], "license": "https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/", "modified": "2020-12-01", "programCode": ["029:040"], "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "Department of Veterans Affairs"}, "rights": "Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, protected health information.", "systemOfRecords": "https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2012-05-11/pdf/2012-11487.pdf", "temporal": "1975-01-01T05:00:00Z/2014-12-31T05:00:00Z", "theme": ["Basic Statistics", "Use", "and Operational Data"], "title": "Non-VA Hospital System (NVH)"}
