Eligibility Care

 Eligibility calculations for each employee are based upon either hours worked or dollars earned. The eligibility status is transferred to the payment system via a HIPAA compliant ANSI 834 transaction. The 834’s may be created as frequently as desired to prevent any lag time between eligibility notification and claim presentation.

 The system provides a web based capability for each employee to log onto the system from a home based browser to view current bank hours and eligibility status. Information dispersion is controlled by individual passwords selected and maintained by the employee.

 Hours/amounts in excess of a threshold may be accumulated towards the hours bank totals. The hours bank may be used to allow coverage on periods for which an employee fails to meet minimum work requirements. Coverage may be calculated for partial as well as complete periods. Period terms may be variable lengths for differing plans. Some plans may calculate monthly while others may be quarterly. The system enables rules that allow virtually unlimited combinations of plan requirements.

 The user of the system has an option to create custom procedures for plans that may be so complex that they will not fit within the standard rule tables. These procedures may be used by one or more locals and or plans and will not interfere with any plan procedures currently in use.
