Overview
The National Deaf-Blind Equipment Distribution Program (NDBEDP) enables reimbursements for services and equipment provided to deaf-blind individuals. The NDBEDP Centralized Database is a web-based application that enables certified entities in the program to submit claim reimbursement data and generate required semi-annual reports based on the aggregated claims reimbursement data.
Features
The newest version of the NDBEDP Centralized Database includes the Mass Cost feature. Mass Cost enables users to add costs for any items that do not have a cost associated with them. This allows for costs to be captured in real time but entered with a 0 amount and the cost to be filled in at a later date. The functionality for Mass Cost includes:
adding an hourly rate to items,
dividing a total amount among items
adding a specific cost to many items.
Mass Cost can be used for costs divided by a flat cost amount, dividing a percentage of a salary, when final costs for services are not determined until the end of the month, and much more.
