  1. Digits to Digits (D2D) February/March 2014

  2. Overview The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has a goal of 125 days with 98% quality by the end of Fiscal Year 2015 (FY15). In order to accomplish this goal, participation from business partners such as Veteran Service Organizations is critical to submit claims electronically, especially Fully Developed Claims (FDC). In Spring of FY14, Veterans Relationship Management (VRM) will be implementing Digits-to-Digits (D2D) for VSOs that have their own Claims Management Systems (CMS) and adding more functionality to features such as the Stakeholder Enterprise Portal (SEP) and VONAPP Direct Connect (VDC).

It was implemented in February 2014 and currently has approximately 1200 VSO users.

D2D is essentially a data pipe that connects the VSOs systems to the VA. D2D is scheduled to be implemented in Spring of 2014 with pilot participants and will bring on additional organizations and vendors throughout FY14.
