User CR: ViPS Medicare System (VMS) - Allow Updates to the Submitted Medicare Beneficiary Identifier (MBI)

The purpose of this Change Request (CR) is to eliminate the manual effort required when VMS claim operators need to correct the submitted Medicare Beneficiary Identifier (MBI) on paper and Optical Character Recognition (OCR) claims. When the submitted MBI is captured incorrectly, it has to be delete and reentered to ensure that the MBI is captured correctly. This change will eliminate this manual effort by allowing updates to the submitted Medicare Beneficiary Identifier (MBI) field.
