4. ELIGIBILITY AND VERIFICATION A. Eligibility Verification
4. ELIGIBILITY AND VERIFICATION A. Eligibility Verification APPLIES TO: A. This policy applies to all IEHP Healthy Kids Members. POLICY: A. Accurate and timely eligibility information is a key concern of all participants in the IEHP network and is a primary goal of IEHP. B. The IEHP ID card does not guarantee eligibility. These cards are issued for Member convenience and identification purposes only. C. Member eligibility should be verified at each visit. PROCEDURE: A. IEHP receives data files including both eligibility and demographic data. 1. For Healthy Kids Members, data file transfers are received from the IEHP Enrollment Unit on a daily basis and uploaded weekly. B. IEHP processes the eligibility data files received, assigns a PCP and Hospital to each Member and updates Member demographic information. C. Recognizing that the network is comprised of Providers with existing systems employing varying technologies, IEHP offers a number of methods for distributing eligibility information to Providers and PCPs. D. Providers can receive updated eligibility information on Members through the following methods: E. 1. Eligibility files (refer to Policy 4B1, “Eligibility Verification Methods - Eligibility Files” for more information). 2. IEHP’s Interactive Voice Response (IVR) system (888) 440-4340 or (909) 8903800. Refer to Policy 4B2, “Eligibility Verification Methods - Interactive Voice Response (IVR)” for more information. 3. IEHP website @ www.iehp.org. Refer to Policy 4B3, “Eligibility Verification Methods – Online Eligibility Verification System (OEVS).” These methods offer Providers and PCPs different levels of detail in the information reported for each Member. The information reported about the Member may contain: 1. Member Name 2. IEHP Identification Number 3. Birth date IEHP Provider Policy and Procedure Manual HF / HK 07/13 CO_04A.1 4. F. ELIGIBILITY AND VERIFICATION A. Eligibility Verification 4. Gender (female or male) 5. Member Address 6. Member Phone Number 7. Language Preference 8. Status (member is currently active) 9. Effective date of terminations or transfers 10. Co-payment Information 11. Aid Code 12. County Code 13. Plan or Program (Healthy Kids and IHSS, etc.) 14. Assigned PCP 15. PCP effective date 16. PCP Phone Numbers 17. IPA Affiliation 18. Assigned Hospital 19. Claims billing address When a Member visits his/her assigned PCP or Provider, the PCP/Provider should verify eligibility before rendering services. In addition to verifying eligibility, the PCP/Provider is encouraged to verify the Member’s identification through a secondary means, such as a drivers license or state identification with both a picture and signatures.

ELIGIBILITY AND VERIFICATION B. Eligibility Verification Methods 1. Eligibility Files APPLIES TO: A. This policy applies to all IEHP Healthy Kids Members. POLICY: A. IEHP processes eligibility data, including assigning a PCP and Hospital to each Member and updating Member demographics. B. Eligibility files created for Providers only contain those Members assigned to the Provider. C. IEHP places eligibility files on the IEHP Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) server (See Attachment, “Eligibility Data File Transmission Schedule” in Section 4). D. It is the responsibility of each Provider to retrieve the eligibility files within three days of file transmission and update their eligibility system. E. IEHP requires the Provider to distribute eligibility lists or have the eligibility lists available online to each of its contracted PCPs by the 5th and 15th of each month for the current month’s enrollment. If month end files are not loaded by the first of the month, providers must use alternative IEHP methods to verify eligibility. Alternative methods include IEHP’s website, www.iehp.org, and the IVR. F. PROCEDURE: A. All eligibility files are compressed (to save transmission time), encrypted (for security), and password protected (additional security). B. By the first business day of each month, IEHP places a full eligibility file on the IEHP FTP server. C. 1. IEHP supplies one copy of the decompression and decryption software necessary, along with a password unique to each Provider, to read the files once retrieved. 2. Each Provider must retrieve their eligibility files within three days of data file transmission and upload them into the eligibility system in place at the Provider’s location. 3. If month end files are not loaded by the first of the month, providers must use alternative IEHP methods to verify eligibility. Alternative methods include IEHP’s website, www.iehp.org, and the IVR. The eligibility file contains important information about the Member including: Eligibility status IEHP Provider Policy and Procedure Manual HK 07/13 CO_04B1.1 4. ELIGIBILITY AND VERIFICATION B.

D. Because Member eligibility changes frequently, IEHP provides periodic file updates. These file updates contain only changes within the Provider’s network, including any updated information and new Healthy Kids Members, received since the last file update. E. Providers must distribute eligibility lists, or have the eligibility lists available online to their contracted PCPs by the 5th and 15th of each month for the current month’s enrollment. F. Member Rosters are available on the IEHP website at www.IEHP.org INLAND EMPIRE HEALTH PLAN Chief Approval: Signature on file Original Effective Date: September 1, 1996 Chief Title: Chief Network Officer July 1, 2013 Revision Date: IEHP Provider Policy and Procedure Manual HK 07/13 CO_04B1.2 4. ELIGIBILITY AND VERIFICATION B. Eligibility Verification Methods 2. Interactive Voice Response (IVR) APPLIES TO: A. This policy applies to all IEHP Healthy Kids Members. POLICY: A. IEHP offers the IEHP Interactive Voice Response (IVR) system for convenience in verifying eligibility. B. The IVR is a commonly employed technology that uses a telephone to access Member eligibility information. C. The IVR accesses IEHP’s computer system dynamically and provides the most current information IEHP has on its Members. It is also helpful in determining if a co-payment is due. PROCEDURE: A. Member eligibility can be easily checked through the IVR 24 hours a day, seven days a week by using the following information: Example IEHP’s 14-digit Member Identification number 19961105666101 Member social security number 123121234 Member 9-digit pseudo social security, with alpha character 12312123a Member 9-character Alpha Numeric CIN 12345678A Note: If the social security number contains an alpha character, refer to Attachment “IVR Alpha Characters” in Section 4.” B. The IVR can be accessed by dialing (888) 440-4340 or (909) 890-3800. C. The IVR system searches IEHP’s Member database for a record corresponding to the number entered by the caller. D. When the record is found, the Member’s name, gender and birth date is supplied to verify this is the Member that the Provider is calling verify eligibility for. E. The caller then has the option of verifying current eligibility or historical eligibility based on the date entered into the phone via the touch-tone keys. F. Once the above have been entered, information and benefits about a Member available through the IVR include: IEHP Provider Policy and Procedure Manual HK 07/13 CO_04B2.1 4.

ELIGIBILITY AND VERIFICATION B. Eligibility Verification Methods 3. Online Eligibility Verification System (OEVS) APPLIES TO: A. This policy applies to all IEHP Healthy Kids Members. POLICY: A. IEHP offers the IEHP Web Page for convenience in verifying Member eligibility. B. The IEHP Web Page is an efficient alternative source that enables providers to submit multiple eligibility verification requests at the same time. C. The IEHP Eligibility Verification Web Page is a free-transaction service for providers, which reduces the amount of time spent verifying Member eligibility through the IEHP’s IVR system or contacting the IEHP Member Services department. PROCEDURE: A. Providers can log onto IEHP’s web page at www.iehp.org. B. To access the IEHP Web Page, providers need to contact IEHP Provider Relations Team at (909) 890-2054 to receive a login ID, and be able to register online to access the eligibility section of the web page.

ELIGIBILITY AND VERIFICATION C. Member Co-payments APPLIES TO: A. This policy applies to all IEHP Healthy Kids Members. POLICY: A. Healthy Kids Members are currently required to pay a $5.00 co-payment.. B. Healthy Kids Members have a $250 combined medical and pharmacy annual out-ofpocket maximum per family per benefit year (July to June). C. It is the Members’ responsibility to keep track of their co-payments paid and to submit their receipts to IEHP. D. Members who demonstrate that their co-payment out-of-pocket maximum has been met will receive a new IEHP ID card with the co-payment amount listed as $0. E. If a Member is unable to pay their co-payment at the time of service, the practitioner may bill the Member for the co-payment. Practitioners must not waive co-payments. PROCEDURE: A. IEHP Members are issued an IEHP ID card that identifies the co-payment. 1. Healthy Kids ID cards ID card is titled “Healthy Kids Health Access” It includes $5 in the “Co-pays” section at the bottom of the card including vision services $0 co-payment for all office visits for children under 24 months of age B. Since an IEHP ID card does not guarantee eligibility, practitioners must confirm Member eligibility before collecting a co-payment (refer to Policy 4A, “Eligibility Verification” for more information). Additionally, practitioners are encouraged to verify Members’ identification through secondary means, such as a driver’s license or state ID card with both a picture and signature. C.

C = Change (on both weekly and monthly updates) identifies Members who have demographic changes or have changed PCPs, but remain assigned to your organization. T = Termed (on both weekly and monthly updates) identifies Members who are no longer assigned to your organization. N = New (on both weekly and monthly updates) identifies Members who are newly assigned to your organization. NOTE: Members who are not included in the IEHP monthly eligibility file who are active in the health plan’s membership database are not eligible for the new month and should be disenrolled effective the first day of the current month. Element: Note #4: 4 EFFECTIVE DATE Effective Date Logic – Applies to both Daily and Monthly Files 1. If the member is active (status “A”), the Effective Date could be any date of the month since the HK members can be effective any date of the year, including holidays and weekends. 2. If the member is Disenrolled/Termed (status “T”), the Effective Date will show the same date as the “Termination Date”. See “Term Date Logic” section below. 3. Effective Date field showing a date prior to the current date is due to demographic and/or Provider Changes. Members are still active and new demographic information must be updated in the provider’s member database. 4. HK effective dates might look like 20110115, since HK members can become eligible any day of the month. Provider Manual 07/13 Revision Date: 01/01/2013 Page 3 of 13 Element: Note #5: 5 TERMINATION DATE Term Date Logic – Applies to both Daily and Monthly Files 1. This field should always be populated with a date. 2. If it is an “Active” record noted with an “A”, the Term date is defaulted to the last day of the month being reported. For instance, if the Effective date is 20120901 then the Term Date shows 20120930. 3. If it is a disenrollment record noted with a “T”, the Term Date and Effective Date are set to the last day of the month when the member was active. For instance, if member is disenrolled effective 20121201, then both Effective date and Term Date fields show 20111130. 4. Once a member is sent as a brand new member in a daily file, in the subsequent monthly file, the member’s effective date is sent as the 1st of the new month. For instance, if the member was submitted with an active eligibility status with the effective date of 20121103 in the daily file, the member will be sent in the December 2012 file with the Effective Date of 20121201.
