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.

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:

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.

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:

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.

It includes $5 in the “Co-pays” section at the bottom of the card including
vision services

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.

CURRENT ELIGIBILITY STATUS CODE
This code can be an A, C, T, or N:
A = Active (on weekly and monthly files) identifies existing Members or Members who were part of your organization
last month.
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:

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.

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.
