Release notes - November 28, 2021

Fixes

Release notes - November 21, 2021

Updates

  • Allows DN to display item information for more deductions, even when APIS does not specify an item number on the overall claim line info

Release notes - November 14, 2021

Updates

  • Specific error message when a dispute is unable to be submitted due to APDP not having a record of the deduction or having bad data

  • Align file types that can be uploaded to Deductions Navigator with file types accepted by APDP

Updates

  • Improve identification of invoices available for dispute in APDP when no claim is available

  • No longer display “Draft” dispute status in Deductions Navigator, display as Not Disputed instead

  • Draft state in APDP is the same as Not Disputed, and APDP does not allow multiple Drafts for a single claim line. Therefore we removed the Draft status from DN for cleaner reporting

  • Assign primary dispute when multiple disputes are detected for a single claim line

Updates

  • Ability to view files attached to deductions while the deduction is in Submitting Dispute status
