Member enrollment and changes

How do we enroll a member or process a life event change with the member, dependent and plan details captured, the eligibility documents checked, and the change written to the enrollment system?

Run enrollment as a verified application the member finishes on their own phone. Callvu prefills the member from the employer's or the exchange's file and the plan's data, takes the application or the change (a new hire, a marriage, a birth, a loss of other coverage, a move) on a secure screen with only the fields the event needs, chases the eligibility documents the event requires (a marriage certificate, a birth certificate, a loss of coverage letter) through a link within the special enrollment window, reads and checks each against the event and the dates, applies the plan's enrollment rules and effective date logic, routes an exception to the enrollment team in the Decision Desk, and writes the member, the dependents and the coverage to the enrollment system of record with the ID card and the confirmation issued.

The problem today

The newborn was added to the file sixty-five days after the birth, and the first pediatric claim denied for no coverage.

Today, without Callvu

Enrollment arrives from employers' files, brokers, the exchange, and members themselves, each with a different form. A life event change comes by phone with a promise to send the certificate. The window for the special enrollment period closes while the document sits in a mailbox, the dependent is never effective, and the family finds out at the first claim. The enrollment team re-keys applications and chases paper instead of checking eligibility.

The rules are specific: the qualifying life events and their windows (thirty or sixty days from the event, by the plan and the market), the documents that prove each event, the effective date logic (the first of the month after the event, the date of birth for a newborn, the first of the month after the application), and the privacy obligations for the health information the application carries. Dependents added without proof cost the plan money and the member a surprise later.

An enrollment the member completes with the documents attached, inside the window, is one the claims will pay.

How it runs

From the requestto the system of record.

A new enrollment or a change arrives from the member (the portal, a call, a link), an employer or broker file, or the exchange. Callvu opens the enrollment with the event and its window.

Member: Confirms the prefilled data, enters the event and the dependents, uploads the documents and signs on their phone.
Employer or broker: Submits the group's enrollment and changes through their link or file and sees status.
Enrollment team: Decides exceptions in the Decision Desk.
Callvu: Prefills, captures, chases documents, checks, applies the rules, routes and writes.

Prefill and capture the event
The member's identity, address, the group and the plan options, the current coverage and the dependents on file are prefilled from the employer's or exchange's file and the plan's data; the event (new enrollment, open enrollment election, a qualifying life event) is captured with its date, and only the fields the event needs are asked: the dependents with relationship and date of birth, the plan choice, the other coverage, the primary care physician where the plan requires one.
Chase and verify the documents
The documents the event requires (a marriage certificate, a birth certificate or hospital record, a loss of coverage letter with the end date, a court order for a dependent) are requested through a link with the window's deadline visible, read on arrival and checked against the event date and the names, and a document that does not match is put back to the member with the specifics.
Apply the rules and decide exceptions
The plan's enrollment rules run: the event is a qualifying one, the application is inside the window, the dependents are eligible by age and relationship, the plan is available for the group and the area, the effective date is computed by the event; a late application, an unmatched document, an ineligible dependent or a conflict with the employer's file goes to the enrollment team in the Decision Desk with the record and only the allowed outcomes.
Write back
The member, the dependents, the plan, the effective date and the documents are written to the enrollment system of record, the ID card and the confirmation are issued, the premium or the payroll deduction is set with the employer or the billing system, and the member sees the coverage in the portal.

Where it ends: The enrollment or the change was completed by the member inside the window with the documents checked, the rules applied and the effective date computed, and the enrollment system of record holds the coverage the claims will pay against. The Decision Trace shows the prefill sources, the rules applied and any decision; the Audit Trace shows the documents, the signature and the write.

Runtime enforcement

What is enforcedwhile the work runs.

The regulations preloaded in Callvu Studio and the bank's own policies, applied as steps that run, not lines in a binder. A step that breaks a rule does not run, so a completed run was compliant.

Regulations

HIPAA (special enrollment rights under 45 CFR 146.117 and the Privacy Rule for the application's health information): A group health plan must offer special enrollment on loss of other coverage and on marriage, birth, adoption or placement for adoption, with a request period of at least thirty days from the event (sixty days for Medicaid or CHIP events) and coverage effective no later than the first day of the month after the request, or the date of birth or adoption; the health information in the application is protected health information handled under the plan's privacy program.
ACA marketplace special enrollment periods (45 CFR 155.420) and the plan's enrollment rules: Marketplace coverage allows special enrollment within sixty days of qualifying events (loss of coverage, household changes, a move, and others), with document verification before the effective date in most cases and effective date rules by event; the plan's own rules set dependent eligibility by age and relationship and the group's eligibility classes.
State dependent coverage and newborn and adopted child laws: States require coverage of newborns and adopted children from birth or placement for an initial period regardless of enrollment, and set dependent age limits at or above the federal twenty-six; the effective date logic applies them.

Company policies

The member completes the enrollment on their own phone with the fields the event needs; nobody re-keys a form.
Documents are chased inside the window with the deadline visible, and checked against the event before the dependent is effective.
The effective date is computed by rule from the event; the enrollment team decides only exceptions.
The enrollment system of record holds the member, the dependents and the documents.
