Withdrawn 10C and OEGD forms still listed in FAQs #3422

Outdated content

and equivalent German-language content. Also ...

Problem Description

The Kassenärztliche Bundesvereinigung KdöR authority responsible for the test forms 10C and OEGD announced on their website that the forms are obsolete and may not be used from March 1, 2023 onwards.

The CWA website however continues to refer to these forms as though they are still in use.

Suggestion

Update the corresponding FAQ articles accordingly.

Reference KBV

https://www.kbv.de/html/1150_62388.php

"28.02.2023 - Für die Beauftragung eines PCR-Labortests auf SARS-CoV-2 bei symptomatischen Patienten nutzen Arztpraxen ab dem 1. März das Formular 10. Das Formular 10C kann nicht mehr verwendet werden.

Mit dem Wegfall der Ansprüche auf präventive Testungen nach der Coronavirus-Testverordnung des Bundesgesundheitsministeriums zum 1. März entfallen die Formulare OEGD und 10C. Beide Formulare waren eigens für die Coronatests eingeführt worden. Sie enthielten einen QR-Code, mit dem getestete Personen ihr Ergebnis online abrufen und an die Corona-Warn-App übermitteln lassen konnten."

Although current law stops the use of the above-mentioned forms, neither we nor the labs can guarantee that these forms will no longer be used. In addition, the KBV BW also states: image source

So, we are in a phase of transition. The mentioned TAN Procedure already has a disclaimer stating that the describred test procedure is no longer valid. And yes, we still receive occasional inquiries why no result is received for the scanned test. As expected, the number of those messages is decreasing, obviously, but those forms still exist.

So, our strategy here is: As we cannot ensure, the forms will not be used anymore, we do not change the existing FAQ entries. Instead, we are going cover the CWA testing capabilities as such with the upcoming FAQ (currently in preparation) for the end-of-CWA-development announcement. I hope, @MikeMcC399, you understand and accept, there is not that much benefit for the users if we scan and rework the whole stack of faq entries that become outdated during the next days.

@GisoSchroederSAP

Thank you for the link to the KBV Baden-Württemberg news, which contradicts the original article I quoted.

This means that there are conflicting recommendations in place from different states and it perhaps explains why there are still small numbers of tests being recorded on the Dashboard under "Test results provided".

In this case it really does not make sense to try to edit individual FAQ articles. I understand that it is difficult to cover this, since the changes are external and there haven't been any changes to the app which could be described.

Due to KBV Baden-Württemberg creating an exception, I will close this issue now.

For comparison I checked on KBV Bayern and their news does not say that 10C can continue to be used.
