4/1/08 - Upgrade v8.03h available for all  programs

All programs should install this upgrade as soon as possible.  It offers automatic REVS Medicaid eligibility checking.  You must install REVSPC on each workstation that will be running the automatic checks.  Here is the Revspc v3.3 installation zip file.  Here are the MassHealth REVSPC installation instructions (for v3.2 but they apply to v3.3 as well).

The upgrade assumes that you have already run up712b below.

Here is the up803h.exe upgrade. Right-click on the link and "Save As" to your desktop.  Then run it using the password you will receive by email.  The file is about 25MB in size, so it will take at least a few minutes to download on a fast internet connection.   Some Internet providers cut off large downloads early, without warning, so make sure the file you receive is the full size.  It is too large to download over a dial-up connection.  If you have any trouble downloading the upgrade, please contact me and I will send you a CD -- Larry

Here is the update documentation.
